Awful mess than spends more time trying to fool the audience instead of telling a compelling story.

Rating: 3/10 (11 January 2018)

This movie was the biggest disappointment I've viewed on the big screen in a long time. Questions and plots from Force Awakens were ignored or used as the setup for punchlines. I get the general feeling the writer was trying to be smarter than the audience by fooling us at every corner. That's okay but you can't ignore logic. And having almost every previous characters in the original trilogy and force awakens flip their character arc180 degrees with no character development to throw the audience off is just lazy. Star Wars fans are fans because we care about going on a ride with characters that are compelling. I re-watched the original trilogy recently. What they've done with the original trilogy characters in this movie made me lose the magic in watching the original trilogy. Like re-living watching your favorite teams win championships only to find out years later they were all just cheaters and the game was rigged. A complete let down in the previously established legacy. So I guess this movie has ruined the original trilogy for me. This movie also ruined the new trilogy cause I care even less about the new characters. I can't put any effort on caring about these characters. They make no sense to me other than throw-away caricatures.
