Star Wars just got less interesting

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2017)

You waited long and hard for answers, revelations, resolutions - anything! And you got it all, with a twist.
The twist being that they were far more boring than anything you could imagine. Or indeed, that thousands of people on the internet imagined.
Snoke has no background (or wasn't given any); Rey's parents were nobodies; all-powerful, mysterious Luke gives way to this kind of wimpy sociopath; Knights of Ren - who, what?
Aside from the general letdown of Johnson's rubbish unexpected twists, my other main gripe is Finn and Rose's pointless subpar, sub-adventure. What incredible look they ended up in that cell with that codebreaker, eh? Such fortune, am I right? Terrible terrible writing.
And what's the deal with Finn? Claims he was just some sort of First Order janitor, but knows every intricate detail of every First Order ship with absolute genius-level knowledge, as if he designed them himself. I found him really unlikable in this episode.
What else was there... Holdo, Laura Dern. What an unnecessary character. Speaking of pointless characters, Captain Phasma dies maybe (*shrugs*). Oh and the Yoda puppet, lol.
It's not all bad, there are some great fights and action sequences. Those little owl things on Ahch-To were pretty funny. But ultimately conclusions craved were killed off in most unsatisfactory, underwhelming fashion.
