Brilliant start to a sequel trilogy!

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2016)

Let me tell you something about the barely-thought out critics who "ranted" about this. They were just complaining the movie was a low-budget version of the classic Episode IV. Yeah, no. This is a brilliant movie! Sure, it has flaws and all, like Kylo Ren kinda acting like a wimp, and it's overused comedic humor because it's owned by Disney, but the rest of the movie was beautiful!
It starts with the First Order heading to a town on Jakku called Tuanal to get a chip from Lor San Tekka, but luckily for the Resistance, Poe Dameron was able to put the chip inside his droid called BB-8, and told him to run away, but unluckily for him, he gets captured. A day later, a scavenger named Rey meets the droid, and takes it along with her. Meanwhile, a Stormtrooper named FN-2187 saves Poe Dameron and escapes the Star Destroyer they were in. FN-2187's name was now Finn, and the ship they were flying in was shot, causing them to land on Jakku, luckily not killing them. The ship they were in was sunk down in quicksand, causing Finn to pronounce him dead mistakenly. He goes to a junkyard called Niima Outpost, and, surprisingly, Rey is there.
Rey and BB-8 see Finn and call him a thief for him wearing Poe Dameron's coat, and when they were fighting, a group of TIE Fighters try to kill the 2 people. They escape in the Millennium Falcon, and meet Han Solo and Chewbacca. Han says that he caught several Rathtars and was giving them to the Guavian Death Gang. While Rey and Finn hid under the floors, Han, Chewie, and BB-8 are greeted by the Guavian Death Gang, and another group called Kanjiklub. When both gangs were about to kill the smugglers, Rey accidentally open the doors to the Rathtars, causing them to escape and eat the poor people. They were able to escape, so they head off to Takodana to get help from a Force-sensitive alien called Maz Kanata.
Maz Kanata shows Rey Anakin's light saber, and tells her to take it, but she refuses too. Later, the First Order arrives and try to destroy the castle, and the group. Kylo Ren, a Sith Lord, finds Rey in the forest she ran in, and makes her go in a Force Trance. Kylo Ren carries her to Starkiller Base, causing Finn to go obsessed to save her. While trapped in a restraining chair, she Mind Tricks a nearby Stormtrooper, making her free. Back on Takodana, Han and Leia reunite, and head back to D'Qar to make their plans. Later, the First Order decides to test their power on the Hosnian System, and succeeds to blow all the planets in the system up. Back at D'Qar, Finn reunites with Poe Dameron, telling him what happened. Han Solo, Chewie, and Finn land on Starkiller Base, and try to save Rey.
When they encounter Captain Phasma, the FO Stormtrooper leader, they command her to shut down the shields. They do save Rey, but unfortunately, Han Solo dies in the hands of Kylo Ren, who is actually his son. Finn and Rey try to find the Falcon, until they are greeted by Kylo Ren. After Finn gets seriously injured, Rey uses the Force to defeat him and destroy his light saber. Soon after that, several X-wings go through the shields and try to blow up the main reactor. Poe Dameron was able to destroy it, only leaving a few minutes left for the base to be stable. Chewie is revealed to have the Falcon with him, and save the gang, while Kylo Ren is picked up by his ship, and they both escape it. Starkiller Base explodes, creating a celebration for the Resistance. It is revealed that BB-8 had a piece of the map, while, surprisingly, R2-D2 was there also, with the rest of the map in him, leading them to Luke Skywalker. Rey and Chewie head to Ahch-To, while Rey meets Luke Skywalker and (possibly) wants to train as a Jedi.
Despite the similar plot, and the overused humor, it's still a great movie that idiotic critics are trying to keep you away from it. I really recommend this movie! 9.1/10
