The Force's failure

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2015)

I think this movie is the worst Star Wars sequel ever made so far. The absence of George Lucas among the "written by" credits is so evident that you might think you're watching a movie that has plagiarized the Star Wars saga I'm going to tell you the why without spoiling anything.
The story would like to be a tribute to the original one and the manifest for a new Star Wars generation but it fails in both the objectives.
There are too much "I've already seen this scene before" and all the major points of the story are literally copied from the original Saga; they are the same, in the same order. And what about the original stuff?
Well, it is not original at all: a new mask is introduced but the mask has no reason to exist except to give a "bad voice" to the "bad guy". Also, the bad guy itself is unlikely and you have to accept him just because it exists even if you can feel that he has no reason to exist. The only original thing that I appreciated is the Droid BB-08.
And what about the "Force awakening"? There's absolutely no feeling of a new generation of Jedi ready to start, on the contrary it seems to be that anyone who can swing a light-saber can appear a Jedi.
Really, without spoiling anything is hard to convey how much this movie has failed. I don't think I'll wait the next sequel with the same expectations I had for this one...and it's a pity because I really wanted a new generation for Star Wars.
