This movie SUCKED, and now I will tell you why.

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2017)

I'm a huge-ass starwars fanboy, and I will now list everything wrong with this movie.
ONE: This was not an exact copy of the original SW saga. I mean, we all loved Force Awakens BECAUSE it was pretty much the script of New Hope copy-pasted but with the character names changed and cooler special effects added. That's the only reason we loved the movie, and of course we expected this new movie to be the EXACT copy of Empire Strikes Back, just like FA was a copy of New Hope. Unfortunately, Disney tried creating something original instead! I mean what year do you think this is, 1977?!? Nobody - and I mean NOBODY - has done an original script in Hollywood in approximately 15 years for a very good reason, and you can see that reason reading all the reviews written for this movie: nobody - and I really mean NOBODY - wants to see original stuff, it makes my brain go hurtyhurt!
TWO: Like many have pointed out here, Luke Skywalker is no longer young for some reason. I mean, we all came to see this guy who looks like he has had an ever-lasting hangover for the past 50 years, assuming he would be the same fun-loving adventure-seeking little brat we all got to know and love back in the day. Yet somehow, SOMEHOW, they DARED to make Luke have had personal history, disappointments and even some tragic personal developement over the past decades. HOW DARE THEY?!
THREE: We are not told information about useless things that we do not need to know. Sure, when the original Star Wars trilogy came out, we weren't handed much information about any of the characters either. We didn't even know Emperor Palpatine's name until we started reading some extra background stuff. But back then it was okay because movies were about the ORIGINAL STORY, and not so much about what was the exact background and family origin of each character. But nowdays, as we all know, not only are movies supposed to be extremely non-original, they also are not supposed to contain a "story", but rather information. When a character appears, it doesn't so much matter what (s)he does in the movie, or where (s)he takes the story, it is more important to know the background and his/hers whereabouts in the past, and his/hers parents as well. And even though I hate to spoil it, we really don't get to know who Snoke's parents are AT ALL! Unless we are revealed in Episode 9 that Snoke's father was really Boba Fett, I really have to say that this all kinda sucked hard.
All in all, I would agree with all the other reviewers, that the script of this movie was indeed not copy-pasted from the original saga, and thus this was a very very bad movie indeed. Stay clear of this if possible.
