The Force goes all PC

Rating: 6/10 (6 January 2018)

The Empire is replaced by "The First Order" as the main enemy of the Rebels. A former stormtrooper and a lonely farmgirl will try to save the day.
The 7th installment of the Star Wars franchise moves along at a reasonably brisk pace but it's mostly "seen that been there" with a heavy dose of political correctness.
It's rather obvious the First order are the Nazis, there is even a Hitlerlike thunderspeech delivered by one of the leaders to endless rows of Stormtroopers.
The rebels are then this multicultural bunch of dogooders. The main charcter is this young girl with no background who becomes this superwarrior without any previous knowledge or training. This character seems to have been inspired by Joan of Arc/maid of Orléans, who was a very young girl, divinely inspired and turned into supreme fighter and leader, leading the French to victory against the invading Brits. Anyway : she is mightily annoying. Joan of Arc was burned by the Brits at the stake which could be an idea for a next episode.
The ex-stormtrooper is from Nigeria : Hollywood is now in full PC mode so there you have it. Nice guy and a bit funny sometimes.
The whole plot is cutandpaste from the original StarWars so no surprises there. Again :special effects are Ok and it's worth to see it on the big screen.
But the PC-ness almost kills of the movie, definitely for the older generation fans. But the new generation, not so familair with the original trilogy, will undoubtedly like it very much.
