Remove "Star Wars" label and this is a total FLOP

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2016)

Yikes, I kept looking around the packed theater wondering, why are all these people here? Totally boring movie, bad acting, awful character development, silly plot, same old tired space fights and fake drama, no emotion, nothing uplifting or meaningful to it. If this wasn't part of the Star Wars brand, it would be an stunning and total flop. Nobody could realistically watch or enjoy this movie on its own merits. But slap the Star Wars label on it and it gets massive reviews and box office success. Absurd! I was with 3 kids. They all felt obliged to say they loved it, but it quickly became obvious they spent 80% of the movie totally confused and bored.
