too much of the movie relys on call backs to previous movies of star wars instead of focusing on having its own story to tell. reliance on previously better written characters just to get buts in the seats to sell tickets is a pretty cheap way of tugging at the heart strings of customers who too much of the movie relys on call backs to previous movies of star wars instead of focusing on having its own story to tell. reliance on previously better written characters just to get buts in the seats to sell tickets is a pretty cheap way of tugging at the heart strings of customers who were fans of this for decades. the cgi at times while have some good moments was way over done and will likely age very poorly in upcoming years. lot of the acting was either wooden or stilted at best. the stakes the characters had to face were done way overboard serving as more cool visuals to add while having nothing of importance. apparently the emperor being back as the main threat to the story instead of kylo ren says enough bout the universe and worldbuilding. his character is now pointless. rey being established as palpatine but in the last movie being declared nothing. kylos motivation and existence over the course of the trilogy flip flops everywhere without a clear sign of what his goals are. attempts to fix what the last jedi are blatant obvious here and they arent better but worse. CGI leia was not a wise move to keep her around and is made worse out of deconstructing her character last movie. if anything having her gone from the story probably wouldve done best instead of trying to keep her around for much longer. reverting luke back to himself here to counter what rian did doesnt really matter too much now cause of how is character is looked at now. chewy as now is barely a character like R2 and lando who only served small roles in the story and werent able too do much. certain characters were in this played no parts and were easily forgotten. its obvious disney had no blueprint on what this trilogy was gonna be and know where it was gonna go from the start. comes of more like a custody battle over the ownership with jj's cancelation of the last jedi. while rian canceled jjs universe from TFA. overall the trilogy is a huge mess lacking anything of quality. if anything this sequel trilogy down the road will be used to show what happens when you let untalented people have control over your work just to try to turn a profit. if anything its just bad movie with nothing really to say or enjoy. its just hollow, soulless, devoid of emotions put out by a corporation that has no more ideas on how to entertain its audience anymore … Expand
