Stay As Far Far Away As Possible

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2017)

You don't need to read pages of reviews, this movie is terrible. no spoilers here, just suffice it to say it's a terrible Star Wars film, fans should stay 'far, far, away', and it's a pretty mediocre film in general. This is nothing but another Disney vehicle to make the quickest buck and to push an agenda, having 'Star Wars' attached to the title is practically incidental. There is nothing here whatsoever that will get you excited, either the critics are all high, or were paid very handsomely for their cooperation. This is a disaster, a joke, a slap in the face, not just to star Wars fans or to George Lucas, but to the art of film making itself, possibly to rational human thought. I can't imagine even small children enjoying this, and I would never subject my own children to something so completely bereft of any redeeming qualities.
Do yourself a favor and watch the OT or prequels instead and pretend the Disney acquisition never happened, as Disney seems intent on pretending that nothing happened before this tripe - they seem to think that they invented Star Wars rather than bought it outright from the creative people that deserve all the credit and who should be rightfully throwing up in their popcorn buckets. TLJ is a baaaaad, folks. They will not get another penny from me, and there are plenty of worthy film makers out there that still have brains and heart that deserve your money more, too.
