J.J. Abrams should've stayed.. This hurts.

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2018)

I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was a little kid. I enjoyed The Force Awakens. It wasn't fantastic, but I thought it was pretty good. And when I saw luke at the end for the cliffhanger I got so pumped for the second one. Luke was always my favorite character. He went from a whiny kid to a wise Jedi.... Not in this... In this movie, I was hoping for a wise Luke. Someone to help Rey. But he went back to a weird whiny character. Or at least just ruined. He doesn't seem how he should be and there were moments that were just cringy. There's a scene where Rey follows him and he gets this weird green milk from this.. "thing" and it has absolutely no relevance to the story whatsoever. Luke could've been a parent to Rey. Someone to teach her and be a father figure. But no. That's too good for this movie. It's like this director thought he could make Star Wars a comedy / drama but it's a movie meant to be taken seriously. With minimal humor used in the right places just like the Marvel movies. Watching this movie hurt. Because it feels like they screwed up the story way too much in this and didn't even try... I'm just glad J.J. Abrams is coming back to direct Episode 9 as I can trust him to make a decent Star Wars movie.
