Unnecessary and boring.

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2016)

***MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD***
My number one complaint about R1 is missing character development. Number two - bad casting, I have no idea how Felicity Jones landed this role. But if you saw the movie, it kinda makes sense in the end. Because unlike in any other SW movie, all (literally all) good characters die at the end of this one. Which is somewhat brilliant. For a Disney cash grab. Because this is what it is. Good special effects, junky script, 0 character development, basically easy parts done right, hard parts botched, money made because it's Star Wars. Episode 7 was crap because it was a shameless ripoff of episodes 4,5 and 6. R1 is crap because it doesn't make you care even a tiny bit about any of the characters, some of which are quite annoying, monk being the prime example. Seriously, no one in the production team thought constantly repeating "i'm one with force, force is with me" will drive audience crazy? Well, it did. SW franchise died the day Disney bought it. RIP Star Wars.
