Could of been a lot better

Rating: 5/10 (16 December 2016)

First I would like to say that this movie is better than the worst movie ever created, the force awakens, though it still had its problems. I'll start off with the positives.
First, this movie reminded me of episode IV with the x wings, some of the fighting, and Tarkin. They brought back some awesome lines from episode IV and Tarkin was back and better than ever. Second, K2 was another great droid and was the best new character in the movie. He reminded me of HK-47 from Knights of the Old Republic. Third, they took their time with the story line and did not rush anything like the catastrophic episode VII. Fourth, they brought back a lot of the older characters such as R2, C3PO, and Leia very briefly. Bail Organa was also in it but not as much as I would of hoped. They even brought back the 2 guys that Obiwan and Luke met at the Cantina in episode IV. I'll save Vader for later.
Now here are the negatives. This movie could of been so much better than it really was. First, not all the characters needed to die and it was completely unnecessary. Just because they are not in episodes IV, V, VI does not mean they all needed to be killed off. Some of them could of been in episode VIII. Second, Forest Whittaker's character seemed very pointless. He was not in it very much and seemed to have no point. Third, there were no Jedi. One of the main things I love about Star Wars is Jedi and the directors are not bringing any of them back. They could have brought back Ewan Mcgregor to do a couple of scenes and maybe even Yoda to do one. They definitely could have brought back the emperor. There were so many characters that they could of brought back to make this an awesome Star Wars movie. The storyline was average but could of been a lot better with all the older characters involved. The new characters were okay but they were not that memorable.
Now the best part of the movie, Darth Vader. Vader should of been a lot more involved in this movie. He wasn't even in it that much. He was such an awesome villain like he always is. That last scene was one of the greatest Star Wars moments ever, but it only lasted for a minute. The way he took out his saber was great. Where was that all movie? There could of been so much more of that. The emperor could of played a major part in this movie and use his force lightning. Leia also could of been in it more. The transition into episode IV was perfect.
Overall, the first 99% of this movie was somewhat below average while the very end was a 11 out of 10.
