Something less than inspired.

Rating: 4/10 (6 September 2019)

I'm not a Star Wars hater, and I've never claimed to be. However, I do believe here and there there are certain things that contradict logic by all accounts. I understand thirty years pass, and some things never change, but it felt as if the movie was taking too much inspiration, and not enough creative wit to captivate audiences. The characters, I will say, I am not impressed with. Holdo's plan would have worked had she have let everyone know except Poe, as they had no idea what was really going on. I understand he's a wild card, but is that any reason to punish the whole fleet for his incompetence? Luke Skywalker I will say kind of disappointed me. I get life happened to him, but I agree with Mark Hamill when I say that his character arc was less than nothing. You're telling me that the man who believed in his father, redeemed him after all of the horrible acts he committed, would try to assassinate a child who hadn't even made his choice yet? That's just...unbelievable. But I understand that Hamill was hornswoggled. He couldn't have known what Disney had in store for him. I really had high hopes for this trilogy, but it seems like Disney is all about retreading old ground, and not enough spine. Some of you may be entitled to your opinion, and I can understand that. Hopefully, it won't ruin your experience for the film. To each his/her own, I say.
