Train wreck of a film

Rating: 4/10 (25 March 2020)

What can I say? Rian Johnson literally attempted to destroy everything that had come before. The Force Awakens had some major issues to begin with but this sequel just went off the rails, crashed into a school and exploded into a fiery ball of death.
Rian should be shoved out of the nearest airlock for this abomination. It's unforgivable what he did to Star Wars with this film.
The plot can be solved within the first 10 minutes. Aside from the absurdity of having big slow bombers have to drop bombs DOWN in space instead of blasting them out like a shotgun burst from distance, the premise following the fleet to a distant planet and then not just warping some Star Destroyers right on top of the Rebels, sorry Resistance, shows how pathetic the skill of the writers is. I was is desperate hope for the two lines of dialogue in the digital and Blu-ray release from Hux saying exactly this and Adrian Edmondson's character saying it wasn't possible because of some spacial disturbance from the star or the planet. But alas it never came.
This film sucks. Just forget it exists - just like JJ Abrams did when he directed Rise of Palpatine, sorry I mean Skywalker. Which is also a terrible film. See my other review.
