completely average movie: Remake of NEW HOPE.

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2015)

Abrahams should have just told us we were getting a remake of A NEW HOPE. I don't hate the movie. The action scenes feel like Star War, much more so than the prequels. The bad thing about the movie is EVERYTHING about the movie feels like A NEW HOPE. Who didn't know HAN was going to die when he confronts Kylo Ren? It was a complete redo of the Darth Vader/Obie One scene at the end of A NEW HOPE. They really needed to add a wrench into the story line that wasn't expected. Making Luke the bad guy would have been a good start. Instead, Luke shows up at end playing the the role of Yoda the trainer.
The Kylo Ren back story certainly could have been developed more. Why would he worship Darth Vader when Anakin Skywalker turns at the end of Return of the Jedi. He certainly must know that story right??
