Total junk

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2018)

This movie not only ignored the interesting questions posed in Force Awakens, it totally spat on characters we have loved for decades.
This is what happens when the people who make these movies aren't even fans of the originals, and are more concerned with social justice than staying faithful to the source material and making an entertaining movie.
Holdo's motivations were.....well, we never learn them except that it seems she just wanted to talk down to Poe.
The entire Canto Byte storyline was 100% useless and made no impact on the story except to bash capitalism and virtue signal about animal rights.
Luke's entire character was nothing like we knew of him from the OT, and we were given no real reason for his drastic change into a winy, grumpy old man.
This movie was horrible. Force Awakens was enjoyable and fans spent two years guessing about a few key issues and what would come of them. This movie totally tossed those questions and subjects aside to go off on useless tangents that were neither entertaining nor relevant to the outcome of the story.
Disney Star Wars needs new leadership, some true fans of the source material. Look how Marvel is going about things...not only having competent directors who are also FANS of the comics, but listening to the average fan and applying that to how they handle the characters and stories.
If Disney Star Wars took that approach instead of worrying about how many virtue signal points they can gain, they would make way better movies and much more money.
