Non-stop pointless action. No new storyline.

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2015)

Ugh. Here's what the 11 year old kids I took had to say about the movie:
--------------- A TOTAL letdown. We expected a new storyline, but is the same as the first movie released. Same Death Star,guy in black mask and robes, Hollywood TRAP, basically a letdown. ---------------
It's as if the producers took a poll asking what the most popular parts of Episode IV were, and decided to make a new movie containing only the "good bits". Well, it just does not work. I expected to see the story extended, not remade.
I'll give the movie some points for production values and various bits of humor. But that's it. The rest is derivative of the older movies, and the ending cliffhanger does little to generate any interest in seeing the forthcoming films.
