Let The Past Die....

Rating: 4/10 (17 December 2017)

.... kill it if you have to. This movie may actually have done just that for me and the Star Wars franchise.
A bland rehash of Empire and Return polished with special effects, The more you think about the film, the more plot holes you spot. Old characters behave differently to the original trilogy and new characters fail to develop. Laura Dern in the one actress that somehow manages to hold her dignity in all this mess.
The writer may have attempted a twist ending with the final showdown but anyone who didn't see it coming must have given up on the movie and zoned out for a while beforehand.
Nice to see the Disney Mary Poppins crossover though. Good bit of marketing for the forthcoming remake.
Don't believe those saying this is the best Star Wars ever. It's not even in the top 5.
I'm now going to watch two tortoises race after giving one a 5 yard head start in order to recreate the movie ahead of the Blu-ray release.
