The only thing missing is the laugh track.

Rating: 2/10 (14 December 2017)

5 Minutes into this movie it was all clear. I was looking at Star Wars - The comedy. Disney's desperate attempt of trying to please fans of all ages ends up in a chaotic storyline where nothing interesting really happens.
Lets talk about the jokes. In case you are afraid of missing them, don't worry! This movie will continue to feed them to you until they leave you with an awful taste of Jar Jar in your mouth. The amount of comic relief was beyond me. I wouldn't even consider most of the comic as "relief". Just immersion breaking attempts of keeping the attention of the younger audiences. Speaking of immersion breaking.. The use of words like "Godspeed", "Police", "crack open like an egg" really proves that the writers had no clue of what they were doing.
Lets look at the casino scenes. There we were, back in the mess that were the prequels. With CGI characters doing "funny" CGI things. Imprisoned in the dark prison cell, Finn and Rose is speaking to a mysterious silhouette. My mind was going through the alternatives of which this character might be. He's in a rich-people-place, so he's probably rich. He's in a prison, so he's probably a "bad" guy.. maybe a smuggler? Hold on! Rich, smuggler, Please let this be Lando! That would definately save the entire boring visit to the CGI-paradise and give meaning to Finn's storyline. Hah, nope.
I could probably write a short book of all the things that made no sense but I will try to keep it fair. Remember, we're all buying the concept of sound in space.

The super-battle-ship gets taken out by ONE X-wing. Tractor beam? Missiles? Anything?!
"Chrome Domes" armor deflects laser. Sounds like a great material for... everything?
Lukes emo character. He tries to save Vader but almost kills an innocent Ben Solo in his sleep.
Snoke can't be betrayed, can't be defea.. oops. Snoke was useless. Leaving us there with "the rule of two" but without answers.
Disney thinks we care about random rebel ships being destroyed and random rebel sacrifices. If they want us to feel sad, sacrifice someone we love.

Now lets dig a little deeper.
You can turn on a lightsaber with the force now. This changes everything. Think about it..

Why didn't Obi Wan just slice Darth Maul off by the ankles whilst hanging in the pit at the end of Phantom Menace?
Why not just turn off your opponents lightsaber mid-swing?
(Insert infinite number of other questions here)

Thank you for sticking with me with through all the negativity. Lets look at the positive things.
+ The Yoda scene was perfection.
+ The look and feel of (almost) everything was spot on.
+ The sound design was what you might expect from a Star Wars movie.
+ Most likely the most visually stunning Star Wars movies ever created. Even if it had some flaws.
+ Alot of screen time for Kylo Ren. Adam Driver proves he's a great pick for the role.
+ Great action scenes.
+ Luke Skywalker's super-jedi-mindtrick
For me personally. The biggest question is: Why should we look forward to the next movie?
Now when Kylo Rens/Reys allegiance is sorted out. Snoke is dead. Reys parents are most likely never to be revealed. It didn't leave us on a cliff or wanting more.
May the force be with episode IX.
Oh by the way, to my surprise.
I actually liked the Porgs.
