A complete rip-off

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2015)

The storyline relied on mere coincidences too much even at the beginning, and I did not quite like it how the main protagonist seemed to have just been drifted into the flow of galactic events only by those coincidences. Also, I felt it was unexplained how she was just immediately competent at everything, even to the point of using the force without any training. The really bad thing with this is the absence of the mentor-disciple relationship, which was an integral part of every Star Wars movie. Also, characters somehow did not bond, character development did not really happen, and it was not even needed, because the villains simply were just not that threatening to make it necessary. Lightsaber duels also were a disappointment, and the way Kylo unnecessarily was flailing around with his lightsaber, like slashing at the furniture in his angry tantrums just completely dispelled the aura around this weapon for me.
