Can we just forget this whole mess ever happened?

Rating: 2/10 (5 January 2019)

This was the first time I'd seen a Star Wars film at the cinema and knew that I didn't like it when I walked out. Often I'll think about a film afterwards and began to question aspects of it and wonder whether they made complete sense, but the plot holes and awful humour just ruined what should have been a great follow up film to The Force Awakens. They were just so obvious while watching that they managed to ruin the film
There were a couple of redeeming qualities and a couple of good concepts, but all were poorly executed and left the film in an absolute mess. And don't even get me started about Finn's side quest! That whole segment needs erasing.
Now, I'm not going to say that I'll boycott Episode IX, because I won't. But I'll wait to see what the consensus of that film is before going.
What actually annoys me about this whole mess is that the loose ends which JJ left to be answered were not only ignored, but so very often just ruined in such a way that they can't even be salvaged in Episode IX. So I'm expecting that film to be bad because it has such a mess to work with.
