Infuriating & boring

Rating: 1/10 (23 July 2018)

Visually impressive ("nice" shots, views etc.), but infuriating and confusing.
1. Second movie in a trilogy and we still don't know why there's no republic (even after both Emperor & Vader are dead and DS smashed), who is - I suppose - to be the most important figure (Snoke) responsible for good guys still being rebels and the first order ruling the galaxy. How they treat this is pathetic. Did Luke, Leia and Han accomplish nothing in the Return of the Jedi?
2. What about continuity with FA? They destroyed Starkiller and the FO is still in power? Why? How? How is not Poe not a legend, who's berated by Holdo? What about romance between Finn and Rey (hinted at in the end of FA)? The trio don't even really meet :(
3. Rose Tico, final scene, pathetic, infuriating, stupid and nonsensical.
4. Why was Leia in a coma? What did it do? It made no sense?
5. Why Holdo (a "good" guy) whas such a fascist? "Shut up and obey". Characters behavior makes no sense, to make the movie go forward.
6. The entire casino mission, whichh brought nothing but trouble. Sad, long and boring.
7. If they make Luke into a lonely Hermit who attempted child murder, they should flesh out his motivations more (instead of other unnecessary material).
8. Carrie Fisher died before post. But letting her be fine by the end of the movie, they really brought much trouble for JJ and ep IX. I expect her end to be very anti-climatic.
9. "Where's Han"? vs more talking about Tico's sister.
10. Humor in awkward places. Let's have this serious discussion about the force and everything, but put a stupid joke in the middle of it. There weren't many jokes but they were in extremely awkward moments.
11. Villains are pathetic. More comedic than in FA. Why?
