A confused and inconsistent waste of potential. Everything wrong with Episode 7 dialed up to 11, and then turned on it's head for good measure.
Whereas JJ Abrams may be a wholly mediocre director unworthy of the franchises he's involved in, Rian Johnson is a talentless hack whose contribution to this franchise could be described as an offensive dumpster fire at best, and frankly comes off more like an intentional act of vandalism against the SW universe itself, the fanbase, and even JJ Abrams' previous milquetoast entry.
The only positive elements are again the performances of the OT actors, Adam Driver, and Oscar Isaacs. Even then, the writing and directing is simply so bad as to be unworthy of the actors or their characters.
