Nice to watch but many missed chances....

Rating: 6/10 (25 December 2015)

Some nice jokes, an old story, and a missed chance to create a real new story with new characters that have their own personality traits.
And why can now suddenly everybody fight with a light-saber without ANY training or experience. The scenes then Yoda was teaching Luke were awesome! You could get an idea of the whole thing: Now, the youngsters just take the sword and fight the well trained dark side... Very sad because the "training makes perfect" credo, is one of the very crucial in the Star Wars philosophy.
And why no new technological gadgets or inventions within these 30 years? A missed chance....
And many scenes feel so forced, so scripted. No surprise, no unforeseen turn in the plot! :-(
