A franchise extended, by removing its charm.

Rating: 6/10 (27 February 2017)

I as a 63 year old big kid, loved Star Wars. What made the first 6 films enjoyable, were the wide ranging array of Alien like creatures. Somehow the makers of this film decided to omit all of them bar one. Why on earth remove the charm of these past films, and include a poor effort of a Darth Vader . The script was a major disappointment, and the inclusion of the primary original characters failed to inspire. The film needed a good story teller, with the humour of past works included. What a let down this was, and i am wary of the next instalment. Up dated special effects, were not enough to keep me happy.
