lame

Rating: 1/10 (5 March 2016)

This movie was lame. Many people treat the original "trilogy" as a monolith but in fact the fist two movies were great and all of the rest were disappointing. This one gets undeserved points because it came soon enough to feed off of the good will from the earlier ones, but in reality it is more like all of the subsequent ones.
If the "speeder bikes" that speed between the trees can levitate, then why can't they levitate above tree level? Oh, because that would make too much sense. And the Empire that we've come to know as nearly invincible and galaxy-threatening can be beaten by little stuffed animals with sticks and stones?!
It has become an exploitative franchise turning out silly product, eating away at the legacy of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. This third installment begins the decline.
