Every other Star Wars film is worse because of this terrible movie

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2017)

I hated The Force Awakens. I hated the recycled plot points. I hated the sloppy, nonsensical Starkiller Base (how did that obviously-sub-lightspeed beam travel halfway across the galaxy from the Unknown Regions to the Hosnian System? how did Finn see the beam and planetary destruction in the daylight sky on Takodano, an entirely different *third* system? how did Finn know where Starkiller Base was, since it *had* to have moved, since it killed its native system's star to fire the first time?). That said, I liked Poe and Rey, looked forward to seeing Luke, and was interested in answers to questions set up by TFA. Where did Rey come from? What's Snoke's story? Who were the Knights of Ren? So, with low expectations, I sat down to watch The Last Jedi.
It's awful. I'm embarrassed for the director. I'm sad that good actors and decent characters - Rey, Poe, Luke, Kylo - were wasted on this farcical plot, about which much has already been written. Briefly, here are the highlights (lowlights?) of this film's many disappointments.

Where are the Y-Wings and B-Wings? Why are these bombers so slow?
The bombers are...dropping bombs, with gravity...in space?
Super-Leia? Mary Poppins Leia? Bonkers sequence.
If three TIE fighters can take out a capital ship's hangar and bridge in one pass, why don't they ever do it again?
Who thought making half the movie a low-speed chase through empty space was a fun idea?
Why doesn't the First Order just send part of its fleet on a short hyperjump to wait for the Resistance?
How do Finn and Rose - the equivalent of a pair of janitors - recognize thus-far-unknown advanced First Order tracking tech and immediately deduce how to stop it?
Once they do, why don't they immediately tell leadership? Why keep it a secret?
Wait, ghost-Yoda *can control the weather and call down huge lightning bolts?!* Dude! You should've done that on Endor, or Starkiller Base, or in Palpatine's or Snoke's throne room! Why'd you waste it on a dumb tree?! Literally billions of people are dying!
Wait, why did Luke die? He's fine! Nothing happened to him, except he used some bonkers interplanetary Force-projection power! Just like Padme, he simply dies for no discernible reason whatsoever! Maybe it's genetic.

Regarding the questions above about Rey, Snoke, and the Knights of Ren: Rey's a nobody, Snoke's origin remains unknown, and the Knights of Ren may as well have not existed. It's as if Rian Johnson simply wasn't interested in JJ Abrams little mystery nuggets from TFA.
Quick break for positives: Luke is fine, and Ahch-To is interesting (even though it's just a new version of Luke training on Dagobah with Yoda). Snoke is actually pretty cool, and the Kylo Ren/Rey team-up fight is good (even though it's just a new version of Luke facing the Emperor and Vader on Death Star 2). Poe is fine. The salt planet Crait is visually interesting. Umm...that's it.
Now: HERE'S HOW THIS MOVIE MADE THE FILMS THAT CAME BEFORE IT WORSE. Two reasons:
1) Holdo's kamikaze fleet-destroying hyperjump. If that's an effective strategy, then *why didn't she do it ten destroyed transports earlier?* Wait...*why didn't the other two support ships do it, instead of sitting there getting blasted?* WAIT...*why didn't anyone else do it, ever?* From Episode 1 to 6, there were *plenty* of great opportunities to take out a capital ship or a superweapon with a hyperspace jump. Shoot, you don't even have to sacrifice a pilot; just plop an R2 unit in an X-Wing or A-Wing, point it at a star destroyer, and punch it. This sequence changes space warfare strategy, and it's baffling that nobody would've even *thought* to try it before.
2) The original trilogy has no point and accomplished nothing. No successful marriage of Han and Leia. Luke didn't establish a new Jedi Order. The Rebellion didn't defeat the Empire and can now literally fit in a midsize freighter, which is its only remaining ship. Every victory from New Hope to Return of the Jedi is erased, and we know that Leia's going to bite it in the next film.
I don't care if this movie makes two billion dollars. Fact is, Disney killed Star Wars. RIP.
