The demise of star of wars

Rating: 3/10 (2 January 2016)

Unfortunately, SW7 was not just a disappointing movie, but it caused serious harm to the SW legacy.
The film has huge flaws and are underlined by these points
Story. the story is, as everyone knows, a ripoff of SW4 with some points from SW5 and SW6. There is no creative writing at all, and this attempt to emotionally hit viewers with OT nostalgia is just disingenuous. The film just moves from one action sequence to another an everyone knows what they are doing. No details are needed as to why SW7 is the same as New Hope. They just thought that bigger is better.
Another flaw on 1. is that the political reality and situation in the galaxy is never explained and it was quite annoying. What is the first order? why is there resistance since in SW6 the republic was reformed? Politics matter especially in the SW universe and it was abandoned for the sake of cheap theatrics.
Deus ex machina - plot holes. This is a huge issue; the writers devised the most ridiculous dei ex machina in the history of cinema with the worst being an earthquake in the final lightsaber battle. Another one is R2D2 suddenly waking up, providing the solution for free with no explanation. This movie is a series of dei ex machina that have no precedent and it was facepalm worthy; just horrendous. Why was it so easy to just roll into the death star 2.0 without the slightest of resistance. How did the first order built a much bigger and more powerful death start even though they do not have the same resources as the empire. Who is the sith hologram? And no, I shouldn't have to wait for basic points like these for the next movie. This is not a pilot episode of a series. For the story, I rate 1/10
Characters. Finn is a weird comic relief and is extremely inconsistent; he was a janitor in the first order and decided that killing was bad and wanted to escape but then he joins the resistance to fight (and kill) and provides key coincidence knowledge needed to win the mission. Not to mention the coincidence that he found Rey. Finn and and resistance pilot that I don't remember the name are very bad characters and there is no backstory or anything that explains why they are so effective and something that will make the audience like them. Just compare the team of the OT with this: Luke, Leia, Han-Chewie to Finn, Rey, Old Han-Chewie and honestly ask yourselves why they wrote the scenario like that.
Rey is on of the worst main characters I have seen. It is so annoying watching her just bypass every impossible situation with no problems and the writing yelling at us: GIRLS ARE INDEPENDENT AND POWERFUL; DON'T GRAB MY HAND, I DO NOT NEED A MAN TO SAVE ME. This happened throughout the movie and does not justice to main girl characters. If a character is perfect, it becomes mundane and not believable. And through this Rey character; the film betrayed and destroyed everything we held dear in the SW universe i.e., the force, jedi, and sith. Rey finds out for the first time from han that jedis exist and the force is real; and she becomes an expert force user in an afternoon even mastering advanced jedi mind tricks without even knowing they existed. She and Finn fight with a lightsaber even though they are both untrained and she beats a very advanced force user Kylo Ren. This was just a spit on our face. Kylo Ren started great in this movie, he seemed very powerful mystical but everything were negated later when he pulled out his mask, his name was ben, and he is the son of solo. They just switched the bad guy's child is good to good guy's child is bad. The death of han solo was a disgrace to SW and old Leia was irrelevant and mundane. After the death of han solo the characters do not even react, it;s like nothing happened. Leia and Chewie would have been devastated, but with as shallow character writing as this we lost this opportunity. Leia goes on to hug Rey whom she does not even know. They, quite frankly, destroyed the characters: Luke, Leia, Han Solo and the good ending form SW6 was thrown in the trash bin for some weird over the top charade.
This film is new hope with impossible dei ex machina, terrible characters and a destroyed SW lore begging for some realism.
The movie is only well produced, decently acted, and the action scenes are excellent; but this is not remotely close for a SW to be good. Wasted opportunities caused by the gluttony of Disney to cash in on thirsty SW fans, but ended up destroying the series in the process.
A truly disappointed SW fan (who liked the prequels)
