Star Wars used to be compared to the likes of the Odyssey and the Iliad. What Disney and LFM have done to the original narrative is a disaster. In an attempt to clean up countless plot holes and unsatisfying plot twists from the previous movie in the trilogy, TROS introduces one of the biggest character retcons in cinematic history. It's the 11th hour in the newly labeled 'Skywalker Saga', and the amount of exposition required to justify new plot events and characters is overwhelming. Would not recommend even as a turn-your-brain off pop-corn flick.
