Really?

Rating: 4/10 (19 April 2016)

I'm gob-smacked. I was expecting the usual slick JJ treatment to a classic that he seems to excel at (sublime nods to Spielberg / Lense flare / The subtle little touches to the amazing Star Trek movies), yet we have a plagiarism of episode IV, almost scene for scene and silly dialogue: I'm sorry but a Stormtrooper would never call someone 'bro'. It's full of dialogue lifted from Episode IV. I guess this is supposed to make the nerds clap in the cinema. There's a pseudo Darth Vader. A Pseudo Luke, who is now female and mispronounces Han as Haaahn (darling watch the movies and don't just read the script), there is a pseudo Emperor. All without explanation of where they came from: Guys watch Jedi: The Empire is defeated! Sorry; but as a self confessed SW nerd I just found it juvenile. I gave it 4 because for some unknown reason Harrison Ford agreed to be in it.
