No history or origin stories NOR any real hope or mystery of the future

Rating: 2/10 (19 December 2017)

The problem with this movie isn't in the details of what we would like to have seen or how we feel it should have gone. It is that it goes nowhere. No origins of characters or "why" questions delved into....No mystery or future to ponder either...just a wheel spinning goes nowhere movie. And that's the shame of it all...it wasted all that The Force Awakens set a stage for. Bad plot and bad character development. The glimmers of hope for either plot or character development are quickly killed, literally on many characters. This Star Wars film is right there with the prequels....such a shame. JJ Abrams has his work cut out for him in Episode IX.
