Cringe-worthy

Rating: 3/10 (29 March 2020)

In the opening scene, a Resistance pilot prank calls the First Order, an idiotic strategy that miraculously works.
Hux, the menacing fascist general from The Force Awakens, is suddenly a comic relief character.
Leia flies through the vacuum of space like Mary Poppins and is in a coma until she wakes up when it is convenient for the plot.
The hero Luke Skywalker is a hermit who milks grotesque alien sea cow udders.
Poe Dameron disobeys Leia and causes innumerable resistance fighters to die but is merely demoted. When he mutinies, Leia and Holdo speak fondly of him, instead of dishonorably discharging him.
Vice Admiral Holdo's purple hair and prom dress are distracting.
In a scene stolen out of Spaceballs, Finn and Rose are arrested for illegal parking at a casino where they are on a quest to find a master hacker. A different hacker breaks them out of jail. They free abused animals and ride them on a stampede into the casino. This casino subplot contributes nothing to the story.
When Rose crashes into Finn to stop him from sacrificing himself to save the day, she says the nonsensical line, "This is how we win: Not by fighting what we hate but by saving what we love." Never mind that Finn was trying to sacrifice himself to save his loved ones.
