A good prequel for Star Wars though not up to Original Trilogy standards

Rating: 5/10 (15 October 2019)

When Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens was released, everyone went crazy and in many theaters around the world went into thunderous applause.
This didn't do any of that when started.
When it continued, there was no Star Wars theme song as it's obvious John Williams wasn't composing the scores for this movie.
Now for the real thing, the plot and story was a potential for being great as it was hoped to be the best Star wars movie since the Original Trilogy movies.
However all the good characters died.
That's in fact the biggest problem with this movie.
The bad guys won in this movie and it was too much and hard to watch all good go away like that.
I mean near the end of the movie, it seemed good was gonna happen, but then it was blasted away by the Death Star.
The Death Star in this also used only minimal power, therefore only able to destroy local areas like cities.
Now the other parts were pretty good and the visuals were stunning, yet it felt realistic and it was very vivid and detailed.
Yet there was a new perspective on the Death Star, though unfortunately it and many other objects were CGI, proving the downfall of traditional work, which is really hard and artistic.
There was lots of violence, MUCH more than your usual Star Wars movie and beat Revenge of the Sith in that matter though NOTHING like The Force Awakens even though they said this would be really dark, though it was PG-13.
Yet the camera work was unlike anything ever made in a Star Wars movie before it.
It looks like it was filmed Hunger Games style (I know I'm saying that as those were released around that time) and therefore it was that way for the most of the movie.
Therefore this movie failed to add warnings of motion sickness because you know some people get sick.
The ending felt like it would be the beginning of A New Hope, and after all this was a prequel to it.
Though Princess Leia (from Carrie Fisher which btw R.I.P.) was entirely CGI and so was Grand Moff Tarkin.
I know this was made 39 years after A New Hope but this was just insane.
This movie had good and bad moments, and I would've given it 8 stars if it weren't for all the good characters being killed.
