Terrible

Rating: 3/10 (14 December 2016)

Was JJ Abrams involved with this too? Honestly I went to the toilet and missed the credits but it was such a hack fest. The only positive thing you can say about this World War II in space - yes I said WWII - is that it was better than Episode VII - but then what isn't? Disney is going to churn out one of these every year until we are all old and grey so we better get used to the non-cannon, irrelevant, cash bilking very very sub-par offerings. I am not against women or people of color or immigrants or whatever at all. In fact, I am as against trump and his army of inbreds as anyone out there, but this whole leading women trend (Ghostbusters, Episode VII, Star Trek president, Fantastic Beasts president, black and east Asian people in Thor yes in THOR with Odin, etc etc) is really getting old. I mean this chick was running around the whole time with no skill.
Does Disney not care they are ruining the legacy of Star Wars? More importantly, do people care that Disney is doing it to Star Wars??
OK its action-packed and full of violence which is great but come on Hollywood give us a break. You need to earn respect and you are not.
By the way it is not so much a spin off than it is a prequel, but as mentioned the class and brilliant imagination of the original Star Wars is not something Disney can create.
