Nothing to see here

Rating: 1/10 (22 December 2017)

Now that I've had time to digest this movie I wanted to make a point to do a review. I've watched Star Wars ever since I was a youngin and LOVED everything about them. I wasn't a fan on the prequels, although, episode 3 was watchable for me.
What bothered me so much was that there were risks taken, but they were the wrong risks. The Last Jedi essentially followed the same plot lines as Return of the Jedi. There were so many missed opportunities to take it in a direction we've never seen before. I wanted so bad for Rey to turn to the dark side, because that would be new! Instead it was the same conflict we saw in Return of the Jedi.
I also hated the direction they took with Luke Skywalker!!! He was boiled down to a grumpy old has been only to turn into vapor at the end. I wanted the Like we say in 4-7 to return!
The casino?!? WTF!! I actually got stressed out when the plot took that turn.
It's hard for me to believe this has such a high rating, I think there's some shenanigans going on here!
