Help us Obi Wan Kenobi, You're our politically correct hope.

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2015)

I went to this movie with such optimism and was left completely disappointed.
The plot, for lack of a better word had more holes in it then a sieve. No matter what people think of the 3 prequels, they had a story line, they had a plot, it made sense, the movies were just ruined by silly characters that were inserted to sell figures.
Spoilers from here on wards.
We have no idea why Kylo Ren turned to the dark side. We have no idea where the CGI Sith Lord has come from. We have no idea how Rey suddenly discovers she has the ability to use the force. Who are the First Order? How they got all of these Storm Troopers?
The light sabre showdown at the end was diabolical to say the least. We have an untrained nobody who is suddenly able to beat a Jedi trained Sith apprentice with a light sabre. The whole fight scene was slow, cumbersome and amateurish, she looked terrible holding and wielding the light sabre and it was a complete let down.
They could have developed the story so much more powerfully, built the characters up, built the story up and made it into a classic to rival the original 3. They had a completely open script, they could have gone down so many more roads then the one they chose, they could have shown us the rise of the Sith, Kylos training. They didn't have to make him "turn to the dark side", that's been done already, they could have built up new enemies, a new Jedi council, they could have done so much with the script, instead they remade A New Hope. BADLY!!!
A New Hope was a classic, it can't be beaten. We had character build up, people we cared about. With this we got the complete opposite, a rushed plot a rushed movie that was trying to remake the originals. Why try and remake it and hype it up and market it as a new part to the Star Wars saga when its really a reboot?
All we got was a politically correct repeat of the first movies hashed hurriedly into one 2 hour slot that left the whole movie with more holes in it then a sieve, characters no one cares about and now I couldn't care less if Rey is Luke's daughter, Leia's daughter, she could be Darth Vader's illegitimate child for all I care. This reboot has done as much damage to the Star Wars saga as the Godfather 3 did to the Godfather.
The best thing Disney could do is trash this movie and pretend it didn't happen. Make a new movie with completely different characters and story line, because this one sucked big time.
What next? The First Order Strikes back? I wont be going to see that one, especially after this over hyped let down. How this is being rated 8.6 out of 10 is a joke. This movie is a 3 or 4 at the best and that's only for the stunning sets and visual effects. Other then that it doesn't deliver anything.
