Not all that bad but worse the the previous one

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2017)

Detecting a downwards trend here. A few interesting moments throughout but not enough. Most of this stuff is filler. I liked the previous episode better.
Why doesn't Disney understand that they are playing in the realm of Star Wars here, not Mickey Mouse. This is a cultural phenomenon spreading out 40 years now. They need to take the scripts more seriously and actually amaze us with the story from start to finish. Yes, we will show up for every new Star Wars they produce but we demand to be properly entertained.
The effects were good but I recon CGI humanoid characters are yet to be perfected, best to be avoided, other alien lifeforms look pretty cool, though. I liked the acting, the few jokes that I caught, music, the major plot milestones but not so much the filler in between.
