I'm not sure i have spoilers here but - BE WARNED SPOILER ALERT.
This movie is a bad rehash of the first 3 movies With REALLY bad dialog, average actors (at best) no memorable events except for the ending - literally the last few minutes of the film (no spoiler here).
Whats Good: 1 they went with the old style full sets and it works , its been a long time since i felt i was looking at a real location somewhere out there in space. 2 The tried bringing star wars back.
Sadly , thats all the good i really want to scream at JJ for doing this to star wars.
Whats Bad:
1 Shallow back story - no immersion , people just pop up (Han solo). 2 Really bad dialog , i mean really bad , feels like a teen drama. 3 Forcing a female role for no reason ( i like good female roles) . 4 No new memorable characters , not a single one - i literally wanted to talk about the characters and found myself talking about han leia and sywalker again . 5 A bad guy that seems to have NO REASON to turn bad . 6 A bad guy that seems like he is a teen with a tantrum rather than an evil sith (a literal cry baby) . 7 The entire movie felt like they were trying to introduce as many new characters as fast as they can without telling us anything about them other than their name and occupation . 8 no sense in the plot:
- How is the republic destroyed in seconds . - Why are the rebels (resistance - sorry) are still rebels , they create the republic again . - Why don't they evacuate a planet about to be destroyed while attacking the "new order" planet killer (THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKADING THEIR PLANET). - HOW is an untrained uneducated (in the ways of the force) person (i don't care she is a girl) easily defeats a TRAINED Sith with ease?.
This entire movie feels like a teen flick , WHERE IS STAR WARS?.
to sum up : bad plot , bad writing and dialog , no back story or lore ,no sense in any of the core aspects , copied rehashed and generally bad.
i love star wars so for that reason alone im giving it a 4 (but it really deserves a 1).
