I can't believe I left disappointed in a Star Wars film. The humor was completely out of character when looking at the saga as a whole. It fit a Marvel film not Star Wars. It’s almost as if they took all of the worst jokes in The Force Awakens and multiplied by 100.

Poe’s taunting of Hux with mama jokes really left a bad taste in my mouth. Luke tossing his father’s saber over a cliff should have been a serious moment. Instead, it was played for laughs.

There were so many missed oppurtunities. They killed an iconic character like Admiral Ackbar without even showing his death on screen. While I liked Admiral Holdo, her character wasn’t needed. It should have been Ackbar that sacrificed himself for the Resistance instead. It would have added more weight to the scene to see a legacy character meet his end instead of someone we as an audience never met before.

I feel like this film erased everything that the original trilogy stood for. Luke is so quick to give up on his nephew. His darkness doesn’t compare to that of his grandfather’s. Yet Luke who was able to redeem Vader of all people suddenly doesn’t think he can turn his blood back to the light?

The moment when Luke threw the lightsaber was when I was like 'what the frick am watching?'.

I was looking around as if this was a joke.

It was so flippant. Carried zero weight.
