How so many good reviews? Not possible, did you even see the movie?

Rating: 1/10 (14 December 2017)

My suggestion if you want to enjoy the movie: go to the cinema with low or no expectation and hope for a surprise. The more i think about the move the more things i think were done bad and i have to say something about a lot of stuff i read in other reviews:

there were amazing lightsaber fights / space battles / ground battle scenes

SPOILERs: YOU CANT SAY THAT IF YOU HAVE SEEN ANY OTHER STAR WARS MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a lightsaber battle for a few minutes where the main characters face 3 ninjas in red. This says a lot...
What glorious space battles? The one where 1 X-WING takes out the "best" ship the Republic has to offer? Or when the Empire chases the Rebelion caravan for the whole movie and this is the main plot? The light-jump scene?
The ground battle where there is a fortified base and the Republic invades with 5 robots?
Have any of you seen previous movies with large battlefields, vast creatures, lightsaber duels? And those who did - how many of the things i just mentioned did you already see in previous Starwars movies? - If you know this for yourself now you know what kind of movie you are going to see...
A few good things:

good acting by almost whole cast
few decent moments

More bad things:

really bad story / plot
for me the "funny" cameos were 90% bad and out of place
greatest waste of Villain and the way he dies...
space scene with Lea - there is no excuse for that, how can this get in a movie?
no backstory to any characters, no explanation of things we were hoping for
why is even Chewbacca here? And the little pets - oh yes, we have to sell toys...
