Goofs

On Crait, Finn is racing towards the cannon to destroy it and Poe calls a retreat. Rose heads back to base and is clearly looking back to find Finn. They're heading in opposite directions. Assuming Finn is heading at top speed to stop the cannon, there is no way for Rose to not only turn around to catch up to Finn, let alone come from the side to knock him out of harms way.

User Reviews

Watched this movie

It sucked. It was boring, it was contrived, it was cheaply done and the characters made zero sense. All the coincidences and stupid behavior almost put me to sleep. If there is any learning that can happen in this world it will be the end of sequels forever and ever.
