I can't believe what an insulting mess this is

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2017)

When the credits rolled all I was left with was; how did they screw this up so badly?
The last episode practically wrote it for them with the vast amount of expanded fiction and fan ideas provided fertile ground for great storytelling, yet the direction seemed to reverse everything inherited from TFA and completely ignore this.
Despite the really bland storytelling, ill concieved plot and several unnecessary subplots there are multiple occasions in this film where the Director seems to totally suspend the laws of physics in order to continue the plot leaving me (and other audience members) quite literally face palming.
I'm sure most of you have already read the goofs section but I can't believe that glaring errors like this were allowed to remain in the final edit.
Not dying instantly in the vacuum of space aside; the last straw for me was when leia comes through the door without decompression within the ship and it conveniently cuts to the next scene.
This tells me they knew it wasn't done well but thought the audience would buy it any, a microcosm for the entire film.
Adding to this; the murderous turn Lukes charecter takes and then his predictable redemption arc, again to suit the messy plot, the entire film felt foolish and quite frankly a slap in the face from the Director.
Furthermore what truly worries me is the disparity between the "professional" critics and the audience.
Star wars belongs to everyone not just fans, Disney or the Director and if I were young again discovering Star Wars through this episode I really wouldn't be bothered with it at all. If this installment was aimed solely at small children who don't yet know about gravity, heroism and who love the sound of a porg screaming every few minutes, it was a resounding success.
Honestly unless you really must watch every SW episode I would miss this one out entirely as it just comes across as a very poor attempt to use the universe, characters and themes we love and respect as a financial unit.
