Death of a franchise?

Rating: 1/10 (20 December 2017)

Pointless and overlong, a disjointed mess of a film.
I don't really know what direction Disney are going to take with Star Wars in the future and frankly I don't care any longer. I am wholly indifferent and have no intention to see any more of these garbage films in a theater.
None of the major loose ends from The Force Awakens are resolved in The Last Jedi, we don't get to find out who Rey's parents are/were, what lead to the first order becoming a force in the galaxy, who Snoke is and what his origins or motivations were. The only mystery that is unraveled is Luke's voluntary seclusion - which of course is deeply unsatisfying since it's contradictory to what we know of the character from previous films.
To say that the plot of TLJ is simplistic would be putting it mildly, none of the villains are in any way convincing as their only motivations are being evil and none of the supposed heroes are in any way compelling either since they all act like disorganized morons and apparently the only way to make a buck in this universe is by selling arms, either to fuel or fight an insurgency no more than a few hundred men strong.
What are "the resistance" resisting against? The first order are evil yes we fully understand that any organization that keeps building planet killing weapons to cause wanton destruction is evil, but evil TO WHAT END? Having Leia fly through space like superman, Luke dying from going out of mana, the slow-mo chase through space, all the inappropriate and misplaced humor - these are all profoundly idiotic plot decisions but what really bums me out about this film is I have no reason to care about any of the characters in it.
