As Darth Vader would say, "DO NOT WANT".

Rating: 1/10 (26 February 2018)

This is my first review ever-on any site for any reason-so that should tell you something. I have seen/read every single piece of Star Wars lore that has ever come out, and the new trilogy is the worst addition to date.
First off, I liked the originals (Yes that includes Return). I also liked the prequels for one reason-they added something to the SW Universe. Even Rogue One added pretty good substance AND fan service. They all made me feel like I was in a different, futuristic, and cohesive universe with a great story being played out.
But Force Awakens and now this? They were passable at best (Excellently made in technicality and performances, but in no other way), and only if I pretend that they are Sci-Fi and not Star Wars movies. I'm sorry but Force Awakens was just another New"er/ish" Hope, and Last Jedi was Mad Max played out at 1/5 speed and 1/5 action.
Neither movie sets up the general theme of the universe it was playing into, and it makes it feel like the Resistance and First Order are two siblings who share a room and argue over who gets the top bunk- I just can't tell how much an effect either entity is having on the Galaxy.
In short, the movie(s) was boring, slow, riddled with plot holes and subplots, lacking in character development or connection, and has a nasty habit of either pulling off stupid surprise moments (Minus the scene where Holdo destroys the bad guy's fleet) or failing to keep my eyes on screen entirely.
I genuinely have no interest in seeing any more Star Wars movies because of Force Awakens and Last Jedi.
