Star Wars went off the rails ...

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2018)

A disaster of unimaginable proportions...as TLJ made the Star Wars story arc implode. The character of Luke and the outcome of his character could not be redeemed by the final sequence. Luke Skywalker has become a sad and defeated hermit. The Jedi order never re-emerged... I really doubt if Mark Hamill really got behind this character... A lot of us fans are disappointed in this story at a Gut level. It doesn't feel like Star Wars . I didn't have a problem with the characters per se. I liked Rey and the way she was portrayed... but Luke's turns ng hervaway did not feel like Luke... it wasn't to test her character... it was to deny her basic existence in total defeat... at this point ...
Also the ultimate villain Snoak was not formidable or even flushed out. Nothing more than a puppet really.
The suicide tactics of the Resistance made no sense. Bombs in space? The battles were just a repeat of Empire Strikes Back... Layer upon layer of bad that paints the Star Wars Universe into a corner.
