Disney Star Wars.

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2015)

Well..
I didn't have any New Hope for this new installment, and it just as worse as I could imagine. I don't consider myself as a deep SW fan, but I respect the material and appreciate what Lucas created. I like to imagine, when I watch the first episodes (4-5-6) what could have been a very nice experience at the theatre at that time, considering how impressive was the technology compared with what came before it, without any cartoon CGI, with a fresh John William score.
What can I expect. First, Disney buying the Rights, second Mr.Jar Jar Abram directing. Third and final, removing all the rich Expanded universe, declaring it as non-canon. HAHAHA
How can it go wrong? You know quickly something is gone, as the camera work and fast-paced scenes, the JJ Abram-touch : it is simply not a Star Wars movie. Character buildup never reach anything, shock value and cheap trills, never ending Deus Ex machina situations typical of the director. Something is gone.
Horrible script, with a committee approved check cases. Over-Inflated hype (which nowadays is standard, as the modern movies budget goes for a marketing more than twice the cost of the movies themselves (yes, an army of sold-reviewers can cost a lot). It is not a movie, it is a meticulously calculated Product. It look and feel like a contract were the stressed director had 2 years to quickly come up to whatever-something to please the Disney committee approval. End up as a rushed product.
The movie do not respect what has been done before, there show zero understanding of material and even destroying what the first protagonists fought for. I came to understand that Star Wars is a series of 6 movies, a complete saga with the rise and fall of Darth Vader. Thanks George.
And as far as the 3 prequels had quite cringe-worthy dialogues and unbelievable action scenes, the main story was finally more than respectable, with new twists and a Star Wars feel to it. At least some kind of a conclusion (for me).
I do not accept, nor I will, how they wrote Han Solo, Leia and Luke. Kill Solo, Leia in a Resistance, Luke rejected. Don't expect any explanations of what happened, or try to understand how it ended up like that. Disney nor J.J. knows. BS. The director, as always, used again a representative group of emo teenagers, unbelievable and unreliable. Watch (Star Trek, Super 8, Cloverfield or Lost). That doesn't feel in any ways in a galaxy far away but just your average American culture right next door with typical nuclear family problems and frustrations. Oh. and Hitler WW2 logic. Great stuff.
Talking about teenagers, just explain me how a Darth Vader-wannabee kid without a real cause, manipulated by a not so mysterious Golum-type, can have a sufficient amount followers to create a Death Star 3.0 simply 10X larger that the last one... As easy to destroy as the last one in the same way. They don't have an empire nor the resources! Answers : Simply because the movie say so. Accept it or leave it.
I prefer not talk about Mary Sue the heroine. She is the sole representation why this movies does not belongs in this series. As far as I am concerned, I consider this EP7 and what come after has "non-canon."
I came to understand as we all grow up, that modern soul-less movies sequels, especially made from different directors are just to ignore. The Force Awaken... What awoke exactly? Still trying to find out.
The force may keep sleeping...
