So much talking

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2016)

I could not wait for the film to be over. This movie talks itself to death - it probably has more dialog than two real Star Wars films put together. The characters were forgettable. In particular, Forest Whitaker reprising his role from Battlefield Earth. But the biggest disappointment is the film does not have the striking visuals or sounds that George Lucas would have demanded be made for a Star Wars film. It's those scenes and sounds that made the first six Star Wars so marvelous to watch.
On the plus side, the last 30 minutes is very watchable and has less talking.
