Another Disney Star Wars Film superficially loaded with effects and action without any deepness

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2017)

I'm with my age a Star Wars fan from the beginning. I love the "Original Trilogy" and the improved digital version, I appreciate the broad-spreaded informations of the "prequel trilogy", I cheered "Rogue One", I have an ambiguous status to the films of the new trilogy.
As I mentioned the films are loaded with action and attractive sets fishing for the applause of the audience and the fans by leaning on the plot and phrases of the "Original Trilogy".
George Lucas used "archetypes" as a fan from the "one and only" mythologist and scientist in religions Joseph Campbell. He invented worlds and characters who could have been possible in reality, he invented a believable system with his "galaxy far far away".
"The Last Jedi" is only a fast-told story without any profundity. The time you hope to get an answer for the most interesting parts (Snoke, Kylo, Rey, the Knights of Ren, the Force actually) the plot switches to another part and leaves you flat. It's only half-truth.
In detail the humour and the new-founded irony is okay. The "porgs" are very "disney-like" but you would love them.
The lack of deepness in the character of Kylo Ren is unbearable! You won't get the answer what turned him that bad to kill his father, to hate Luke, to bow to Snoke, to his relationship to Rey. He has a conflict within. Snoke was responsible for that. Snoke could "reed him like a book" but missed it to pay attention that Kylo will kill him?
Snoke reigns the galaxy on a giant Star Destroyer. He has his own pretorian guards. He founded the First Order. He is the "puppet master". We don't get any answer to him till he was too easily through Kylo.
Leia's rebel flagship was bombed by the First Order. She was pushed into space- helplessly? No she used the Force to glide back into the flagship to be safe. Looked like some "witch thing". Ridiculous.
The rebel flagship navigates in front of the persecuting Star Destroyer in that distance that the guns couldn't reach it. In the meantime they send another ship th a "casino planet" to go for a "decoder" who may switch of the tracking signal on the Stardestroyer. They have the time to come back and board on the Star Destroyer in secret. That sounds "surrealistically". The Star Destroyer does nothing but shooting behind the rebel flagship till their fuel is empty, the rebel flagship does nothing but waiting for any help?!
The character of Finn found no "work-out". Plasma is senseless furthermore. Hux is ridiculous.
Luke is heavily depressed and disillusioned. He hides on a planet in nowhere. The only answer given to the audience is that he recognised the deep badness in Kylo.- That's why he gave up everything? That's why the only wanted to die in his "nowhereland"? Thats why he wont help his friends his sister in a heavy crisis?- That's much too less for me!
He doesn't give Rey lessons in the Force he just talks big about the Force. In the end Yoda- a highlight in the film- persuades him to act with responsibility. Luke confronts Kylo as an "illusion" from his planet and helps his comrades to escape. Then he becomes "one with the Force" totally exhausted and fades away.
Leia- please forgive me I loved her RIP- survives as the only human hero/heroine of the "old human actorship", the one who passed away last december. This is sarcastic, isn't it?
Poor Star Wars...
