This bad movie is really just a symptom of the bigger problem - that somehow after paying billions for the franchise, Disney never charted out a plan or defined their vision for how they wanted these stories to go.

JJ Abrams is a hack. His clumsy script and undercooked characters nerfed this movie and trilogy. But he was given too much authority and no direction, so that’s on Kathleen Kennedy, and even on Iger I guess too.

You watch a movie like this that’s so full of bad characters and random events and you honestly have to wonder how it even gets made. Did they edit the script at all? Did they have any table reads?

Remarkably uninspired, such a bummer of a way to end. I don’t know how they did it, but they made an event movie feel run-of-the-mill and made Star Wars feel lame.
