Disappointing and confusing

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2017)

The Last Jedi is the movie that should have been made if plot didn't matter and The Force Awakens didn't exist.
Out of TFA we want to know: Who is Rey. Who is Snoke. What will Luke do with his light sabre.
The answers are dreadful. *spoilers*
1: A nobody child of drunks, who we don't meet.
2: We never really find out because he's killed halfway through the film in a very lame way.
3: He throws it away. Immediately.
***more spoilers***
Luke spends much of the start of the movie whining about not wanting to be involved. We spend the entire TFA finding Luke, only to have him barely appear in TLJ. He's the titular character for godness sake! He shows up at the end to be nothing more than a hologram and dies, seemingly, because he's tired.
TFA leads us to consider that Rey, Po, and Finn will be the new hero trio. Po doesn't meet Rey until almost the last scene. All three are under-utilised and one almost wonders why they're in it at all.
One of the worst parts is the 'chase' scene. For some inexplicable reason the First Order chase the rebels in slow-mo. Rather than attacking (because the rebels are slightly out of range) they simply sit back, waiting until the rebels run out of fuel.
This movie is anti-climax, after anti-climax. Confusing decision after confusing decision.
There are so good moments, but they'e way too few and far between. It also lacks the nostalgia of TFA. This is not a first Star Wars movie in a long time so audiences aren't excited just to be there.
I love TFA and it made me SO excited for The Last Jedi. I wanted to find out so much more about the TFA characters. But what we found out was boring and lame and pointless.
TLJ is a pointless waste of time. It doesn't progress the story and what we learn is boring.
If Star Wars Episode IX is great, or even good, I'm thinking a long of Star Wars marathon are going to skip TLJ, and no one will notice.
