I won’t lie visually this looks more interesting than TFA. They seem to be going a little out there in terms of the locals which is always great as the unfamiliar should be a part of every new Star Wars film. The only real concern about the film I have is with the story seeing as how we know how it’s going to end. How they can make it suspenseful like STAR WARS (another movie in which the ending was obvious) is going to be interesting to see.
If a film has to focus on suspense and plot twists then it ends up being a forgettable film. Suspense looses almost all value after initial viewing. The great films rely on character interactions, interesting story points and visually impressive environment. These are the things that make film worth re-watching over and over again.
