Having just re watched every Star Wars film over the past few weeks in prep for episode 9 I can confirm that Episode 8 is a mess. Even The Phantom Menace at least had purpose... and a wicked light saber fight.

I just really struggle to find anything enjoyable in that movie. Maybe the classic Yoda part operated by the original Yoda puppeteer Frank Oz?

And even if you can focus on Rey and Ren and the Luke parts, it’s all punctuated by this incredibly annoying and seemingly trivial side quest with a host of characters that I just am not invested in.

And this isn’t a I hate rose campaign, it’s just that I don’t care about her character at all. That whole part just rips the movie apart. And then there’s what’s going on with the Resistance as a whole, it just... seems so pointless.

Like take that whole movie out and just have a five minute clip of Rey being trained by Luke and you basically have the same effect on the overall story.
