Don't just like it cause it's Star Wars branded

Rating: 1/10 (6 June 2018)

So to give you an idea of where I come from: The original trilogy, INCREDIBLE. Star Wars (not a new hope, jeez) 10/10, the Empire Strikes Back (possibly the best movie ever made) 10/10, and Return of the Jedi 10/10, fantastic ending despite the Ewoks.
The prequel trilogy? AWFUL. I can't even explain the disappointment. Completely geared towards kids. Basically cartoons.
The Force Awakens? Absolutely loved it! An homage to the OT with new characters that felt like Star Wars worthy. Granted my cinematic idol was killed in it, it was a fantastic beginning to the final 3......until The Last Jedi destroyed all the momentum. I will not get into the details that the other "fan boys (and girls)" harp on, but I will say this. Luke Skywalker's character was destroyed. We waited two years to see this great Jedi that we glimpsed for 30 seconds in the end of TFA. I'm not so much upset with him being a recluse and a pessimist as I am upset that he was not essential to the story. He trained no one. He fought no one (unless you consider that Skype call with Kylo Ren a fight). Just poor writing and a terrible imagination on that directors part. Leia was also a non factor. Although who knew Jedi's releatives can fly through space? Laughable. And as for Rey, Finn and Poe, why bother expanding on their stories. Who wants to know what Rey's linage really is when we have those little seal/penguin things to laugh at. Oh and sweet casino planet scene......NOT (Borat inflection).
Overall the move sucks. And sucks badly!! Star Wars in the title makes it money. Call it Battlestar Galactica and it is out of the theater in a week.
