Too much Disney

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2017)

I found the movie to be too much 'Disney' in the form of it not embracing the darker side of the Star Wars universe. Much effort has gone into keeping the children-safe, clean and perky. The result is, that the funny one-liners are just too much, and very often with bad timing. The darker side of the movie is simply over-run by cute space-aliens. This movie does not feel like its made with love, respect and a deep understanding of the Star Wars legacy and universe, but rather as the best culturally- and political safe-mode movie a billion dollars could buy - and I frankly find that not just boring, but also sad. It's not bad - it's just not Star Wars. It's a barbie doll.
