I think I just watched a Star Wars parody

Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2017)

It must have been a parody. The amount of slapstick and senseless humor that was put into the movie was meant to turn this into a parody, right? I can't explain this mess any other way.
I had to laugh so many times during the movie and in many situations for all the wrong reasons. I couldn't take Hux or Kylo Ren serious. Especially whenever Hux was on screen he was acting all serious and trying to be this slimy commander. But he just looked ridiculous. And if Darth Vader would have been around that man would have died so many times...
He was a pointless character as well. One scene stood out in this regard. Towards the end Kylo Ren said some orders and the soldiers were in the immediate area to hear him. Suddenly Hux screams the exact same commands again and Kylo Ren just looked at him like "Really dude?".
Unfortunately this movie actually tried to have a very dark and serious story comparable to "Empire Strikes Back". And it failed miserably at it. The characters had all the wrong reactions. I didn't really see the pain of losing the people because it was overshadowed by to many "light humor" moments. How am I supposed to care about characters that die for the good side if in the very next screen we have fluffy characters scream at me and do slapstick?
The story doesn't really work. There is to much stuff that doesn't add up and so many characters are just wasted - especially the supposedly oh so great leader Snokes.
The effects are pretty good and you can laugh a lot. But unfortunately as a Star Wars story I consider it as one of the worst.
