There are tons of bad reviews now around the interwebs.

It pisses me off the people defending it saying "people didn't like TFA because it wasn't original and didn't like TLJ because it wasn't" which is total dog poo. Bad is bad, original or not.

The kids movie defense doesn't really jive either. Let's see, if I'm directing/writing a kids movie, I don't think putting a giant Casino in it for half the movie is wise.

And the originals had funny, goofy moments, but they were mostly serious in tone. Perhaps 10% of those movies had jokes or humor. Now it's about 80% of stupidness. Why? Do we really have to treat kids/teens like they are complete morons? That is exactly what TLJ did, and I don't agree with it.

Even on the most elementary of levels, the universe is missing, characters uninteresting, no real arcs outside of one or two characters, dialogue bad, plot bad, ship/vehicle designs meh, sound effects/soundtrack meh. It's the whole package. I'll give it a D for one or two cool scenes.
