The force is still asleep

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2015)

I'll try to be honest and plain. I really like how this movie is directed,visuals are stunning,music score is joy for ears,the cast is fantastic. Two new characters are very charismatic young people who blended perfectly into SW saga and generally the whole movie has that SW atmosphere. This is where I stop praising the movie and look upon where it fails. In few occasions I almost went out of the movie theater. The movie is set 30 years after the events in episode VI. We all wanted to know what happened next and this is why I hated the scenario. We find out that from the remnants of the empire a new force has risen and its called "First Order".We also find out that there is a New Republic and also a gang of freedom fighters - The Resistance. The Rebels in episode IV were fighting against the Empire so that a New Republic could be founded and democracy restored. Why does the Resistance exists if there is already a New Republic? And why New Republic is not helping the Resistance? Not a single ship or a soldier is sent to help in their fight against New Order. By the way,the Resistance is trying to destroy New Order's new weapon:you can surely guess that it is a new Death Star,only this time it is three times larger and it sucks energy from a star and later fires that energy into guided projectiles which can destroy entire planets?!? And what is also familiar? The Resistance must first destroy its shields and then attack with a dozen of X- wings,fly through a narrow space,and then destroy it?!? Also nothing is said about who has the upper hand in this war? Who is holding Corrusant? What area of galaxy is under control of New Republic and what area is controlled by New Order? What happened to the Jedi? Is Luke still the only surviving Jedi? I imagined that this movie would be about a Luke's efforts to restore Jedi order. Instead,Luke is gone to some place which he chose to be his exile. On the other side of the force we have Supreme Leader Snoke in a role similar to Emperor Palpatine and Kylo Ren,a Han and Leia's son who turned to the dark side. Are they following the teachings of the Sith or are they simply dark side users? Nothing is explained in the movie. In fact,the whole movie is deprived of terms such as Jedi,Sith,Force etc.My biggest disappointment is that at the end of the movie,Fynn(former storm trooper)who takes a light saber for the first time in his life fights a fully trained and very powerful Kylo Ren like Obi Wan or Mace Windu would do.Still,Kylo somehow defeats Fynn,but is then confronted with Rey,who just found out about a existence of the Force and had no training,in a light saber duel in which she has the upper hand and also manages to out power Kylo in the force?!? I cannot describe how disappointed I was because of the things like this. I hope that the Force will eventually awake,but we will have to wait for the next episode for that. Please,for everybody's sake,you have two more shots to make things right. Use them wisely.
