Beautiful, but disappointing.

Rating: 4/10 (31 December 2018)

The movie is visually exquisite. The special effects are spectacular! It has one of the best light saber fight scenes out of all the Star Wars movies. It has Star Wars characters but it doesn't have a Star Wars feel. If TLJ was a stand alone film or if you had never seen any Star Wars movies you'd probably like it. However to long time fans it was a slap in the face. Would Harry Potter fans enjoy watching Harry break his wand, turn his back on magic, and abandon his friends? Would Marvel fans enjoy watching Tony Stark scrap the Iron Man suit and quit the Avengers? Of course not. Fans would be wigging out. Imagine this kind of character betrayal except with Luke Skywalker.
