Plenty of gripes are viable, beginning with the unoriginality, but it's hard not to get swept in, esp. w the old cast chewing up the scenery

As for the new cast, Daisy Ridley carries it all by herself, making every scene she's in work through sheer force of will.

Arguably, if Portman was more like Ridley, the prequels might have worked. Otoh, Driver channels too much Christensen for my liking.

@turkudellinger not in his defense, but the entire industry needed them to be a merchandising vehicle & nobody stepped up to offer greatness

@turkudellinger can't argue with that, he stifled the franchise's creative potential while milking it like no other creator
