The weakest Star Wars movie

Rating: 1/10 (26 April 2017)

This movie was a sad attempt at making a Star Wars movie. The plot was extremely weak due to it being a sad remake of A New Hope. Such as when the astromech droid gets stranded on the surface of a desert planet and meets the hero, a person in their late teens who then escape the planet with a few new friends on the millennium falcon when the empire attacks. The teen goes on to find a mentor, learns the force, and destroys the Death Star. Also, there are a few plot holes such as when Rey is able to best Kylo Ren despite never even holding a lightsaber before or when Rey knew how to fly the Millennium Falcon despite obviously never learning how to fly it. That being said, I couldn't bear giving this film less than three stars because, despite its flaws, the performances were decent (with the exception of Kylo Ren), the visuals were very well done, and John Williams' musical score was amazing. So, in conclusion, the story is unoriginal and contrived, and there were a few decent parts, but these failed to make up for the weaknesses in the plot.
