Dark and depressing
Wow. Where to start. First, I heard that George Lucas had offered to consult for Disney after he sold them the Star Wars Franchise. They pretty much blew him off. Big mistake on their part.
It feels like Disney viewed this as a cash cow, and didn't bother with a good story, good writing or any significant effort at scenery. Especially in this last movie in the last trilogy. When in doubt, throw in a fight scene, even when it's not called for or needed. The acting was horrible in this movie, the secondary characters barely touched on and the primary characters having no cohesion or connections as people fighting for a very important cause. George Lucas has the vision. Disney really really does not. Shame on them for such a shoddy job.
The only good acting were from the old timers that were killed off or died. Specifically Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. The new actor that did a good job was Adam Driver as Ben/Kylo Ren. The movie was disjointed and so very dark and depressing that even when they won at the end, I found that I didn't really like the characters that were left, and found myself very unsatisfied and again depressed. Not a movie I will bother to see twice.
