PROS and CONS of TLJ

Rating: 5/10 (15 December 2017)

To be fair here are the pros and cons of TLJ
PROS-
1. Ship going into light speed into new star destroyer
2. Luke getting shot by a ton of new AT-ATs and surviving
3. New ways the force is portrayed. example: seeing each other face to face even across galaxies. and Luke using that trick at the end
4. Yoda force ghost
5. Some good star wars slap sticky jokes
6. Some new aliens with puppetry
7, different story. it was not a "lets build star killer base 2.0" they stuck with a somewhat different backstory which was nice.
CONS- here we go
1. CASINO SCENES. nothing appealing at all about this scene. completely pointless could have been cut down way shorter. aliens looked like something from a star wars rebels animated series

BB-8 has a feature that can shoot coins out of himself??? and the stupid alien was so dumb he didn't realize he wasn't a slot machine AFTER what it looks like is hundreds of credits worth...
the aliens where awful looking especially that troll leprechaun looking cgi character. was not a fan of looks of horse race aliens either.

2. CHARACTERS

Rose - It is nice to add in new characters but adding them in just to have both of them die means absolutely nothing to us. Rose was funny and i was on board having her but i don't caaaaaaare she was raised the way she was and i dont caaaaare she wants to punch the casino city in the face (even though i wanted to punch casino city in the face as well)

why not spend this effort to building FINs character?? or adding to Ray or Kylo!? LUKE CHEW?! ANYBODY ELSE that we've have already established. FIN feels like a complete waist of a character now. the last jedi made me watch 2 new characters have character arcs and then they killed them off.

Holdo - just tell the crew the plan you had and a lot of things could have been avoided. poe would not have gone rouge on everyone or committed mutiny!!! glad she died at the end. it was the one human thing she did
Poe - disobeyed orders with little to no repercussions really. Leia ignored her punishment for him as if it was nothing. Poe disobeys a second time AGAIN by doing what he wants to do and send FIN and Rose on a mission to casino city and failed. THEN commits mutiny. THEN after all is said and done they are trapped and wants to do his own thing AGAIN... sure he pulled away from the attack only because he knew it was a suicide mission. great Poe only some of your crew died again so... Poe is this unpunished rouge of a character with no consequences or actual arc. lets just let Poe do whatever he wants to do forever!
MAZ - do you need some time to call you back?? you seemed busy

-FIN - i wish we got to know you better.
-Mark Hamil said he dissagreed with everything Lukes character was. i agree and disagree. sad to see him as an old grumpy winey man. guess he never grew up?
-REY - remember all the theories we had of her origin and then all we got was "oh your parents were nothing"... wish they showed us and didn't tell us that

stupid kid at the end who looks to the stars and has a resistance symbol on his wrist watch.... uuuuuuUUUUUGHHHHHHHH

porgs - i liked but stop shoving them in my face. Disney you can still sell them as toys they dont have to be in the falcon when chewy even is irritated of them. pointless.
3. STORY
Bad writing all around. cant emphasize enough the casino planet. if DJ the hacker could escape anytime he wants why didn't he? Pretty convenient he was there. oh he was trying to trick them and get money off them? then why did he look like he was just trying to escape himself? he didn't even give them a "hey cmon this way" he just left them and the ONLY reason they met back up was because BB8 was like "hey see those idiots on those new alien horse cats? yeah those are my friends pick them up". there are so many different ways to write all of this out.
I've seen bad movies where there is a lot of phones being used. this seemed like one of those movies where people were just calling each other constantly. Rey and Kylo. Luke and Leia. Maz and FIN just stop calling each other and write the movie with a little more effort.
In conclusion it is sad to see so many fan theories on youtube have more thought out character build up than a professional studio. Disney obviously does not care about us as fans they just care about making more money as if they don't have enough. Disney is basically the first order in real life. I'm out
