Great special effects, terrible story.

Rating: 1/10 (28 March 2016)

This is exactly what Terry Gilliam means, when he says, quit film school now, and go out and live life. J.J. Abrahams (Alias, which was great, but in hindsight one dimensional) finally falls through, and is exposed as a one dimensional director, with no real intellect to tell a good story. And, be careful, major spoiler alert: killing of Han Solo! Hello!? You just don't do that. You want to pretend to be original and daring by killing of a major Star Wars character, kill bad actor Mark Hamill (please don't kill him either), or kill Princes Leia (please don't kill her either), getting Han and Luke on a rampage, but you never kill Han. Han is un-killable. Especially the way this was done. The guy who shoots a bounty hunter, without a warning, gets mercilessly killed by his son!? I think not. And then what happened to the Storm Troopers who are supposed to be all clones? And now there is a black storm trooper who defects? Wow, who wrote this? The original storm trooper was also black, or colored, and I thought that was awesome (I mean he was Boba-Fett! how cool is that!?), but storm troopers don't defect, that is against all the George Lucas rules. And let's get one thing straight, Star Wars Part IV was not bad, mainly due to Alec Guiness and Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones) and the tension between Ford, Hamill and Fisher, but the real deal was Empire, NOT directed by Lucas. Empire was character driven... Hello! Wow, could this have been a 10 times better movie. What a loss. The only good thing, which gets lost in the one-dimensional acting (due to the bad script) and bad, bad, horrible story, is the non CGI special effects.
