Haphazard 1. Lacking organization 2. Aimless 3. The Last Jedi

Rating: 2/10 (5 January 2018)

This is the first time I left the cinema thoroughly dissatisified by a Star Wars movie. Frankly, The Last Jedi is a disgrace.
Until now, if someone would have asked me for a concise definition of the word "haphazard", I might have struggled. Now, I only need to refer to the plot of The Last Jedi.
"Haphazard" describes the one biggest shortfall of the movie. The story of The Last Jedi consists of a series of pointless and anticlimactic twists and turns, and the characters do not develop, but they degenerate.
Beside, the entire Star Wars universe appears to have degraded into displaying infantile behavior. It might as well be revealed in Episode IX that it has merged with the Tantrum universe.
As such, also the scarce messages that the movie sends to the audience are of a questionable, immature nature.
And if that is not grotesque enough yet, there is still the misplaced, almost disturbing overacting that is used to portrait some of the protagonists.
Lastly, one of the driving forces of the story are references to the original trilogy. This leaves The Last Jedi both unimaginative and incoherent.
While The Last Jedi also has good moments, the whole thing just does not hold together.
I truly wonder, whether we are seeing here the product of a first generation deep learning AI, or if the story was written by a ten year old. Maybe both.
A poorly written and executed, unimaginative story. But maybe this is a telltale of the times we are living in.
EDIT (spoiler...?):
It would not be surprising, if the whole Episode VIII (and VII?) turn out to be the sorry imagination/dream of a dumb little boy in the SW universe... A pathetic but fitting way to keep the franchise milking going past Episode VIII, which should have been killed by this movie for good...
