I just came home. What a mess.
Some OK bits, some good bits, some horrible bits. The funny thing is that I thought to myself “well, at least they’re completely ignoring the Jedi, Skywalkers, Death Star, Sith and so on”, when suddenly … Darth Maul. God-dammit! Also, why did they have to spend so much time explaining that Lando is in a sexual relationship with a droid? What emotions was I supposed to feel? The revolutionary communist droid thankfully died, yet they played it like it’s a bad thing? What a strange movie, it was. It repeated so many problems from the prequels, like bad cinematography, bad green screen, bad dialogue, annoying characters (the fembot is the new Jar Jar), and especially - no tone. They tried to invoke so many different feelings at the same time, but the only feeling I felt was confusion. Weird, weird, weird movie. At least I didn’t feel like punching somebody after leaving the cinema, unlike after TLJ, so I guess I liked it more?

BTW there were 12 people in the cinema. Twelve. TWELVE.
