Struggling to think of a suitable title.

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2017)

As many a Star Wars fan, I could not wait for this film to be released.
I am a stickler for spoilers and having TFA ruined in 2015 by knowing the fate of Han Solo (RIP), I was determined not to let that happen again.
I caught the midnight showing and I left the cinema with such an empty feeling.
TFA was a good movie, albeit a little corny in places, it set TLJ up for a potentially explosive movie that would of answered all the questions left by TFA.
Jesus wept, this movie had everything poised and set up ready to explore the origins of Snoke, how Ben Solo came into his care, how did the map to Luke get created etc.
They just wasted it all.
In the original trilogy, it took us THREE movies to see Luke grow into the a Jedi, we explored the story between Luke and Vader, the battles, the scenes, the dialogue, right from ANH to TROTJ it was perfect.
Then we had the prequels, okay, so they werent as great as the original three, but saying that, we again had THREE movies to explore Anakin and his turn to evil. We saw the Jedi in power and how they thought they kept balance in the galaxy.
In ROTS, we had a superb finale, right through to Anakin's transformation into vader, his relationship with Padme and it put the pieces together ready for the start of NHP.
Disney have ruined this new batch of SW.
So many unanswered questions, all of a sudden Rey can do in ONE movie what the previous managed to do in 6 BUT WITHOUT A STORY. All of a sudden, Rey hears the words "force" and can see Kylo Ren's future. It's B/S. We have no idea why she can do this, no substance to her story, no explanation of why she is so powerful. Her training with Luke was laughable yet she can manipulate the force like no one has done before.
Snoke, had the potential to be a great character but nope, one lightsaber through the gut later and bang - adios Snoke.
As a film, it is great, the SFX and Visuals are on point. The acting is great, Adam Driver is especially believable as a tormented character.
As a SW film - its awful. Rian Johnson had the potential to make the greatest SW ever, when it reality, TLJ is more like a poor secret santa gift - high expectations - awful in reality.
