Star Wars I guess.

Rating: 3/10 (20 December 2015)

Watching the original movies as a child I have always imagined what happened to the rebellion and the remaining empire fleet after the destruction of the emperor and Lord Vader.
I was hoping for a good story connected to the old saga, but I guess that was to much to ask/hope for... I can't call a movie bad just because the story was not to my liking.. But everything in this movie is just so damn obvious and predictable.
I know Star Wars is pure space fantasy, but why could they not try to make at least some things realistic or at least imaginable...
Even though the storm troopers are trained from birth they are worse than ever in the following fields: shoot lasers, dogfights, finding rebel bases, installing security cameras and keeping prisoners. Not to talk about the incompetent army of engineers on a mega death star that are not able to restore shields after it was turned of by a chrome stormtrooper?
Did the rebels not know about this new station before it was operational? It's the size of a planet...
I like the fact a stormtrooper decides to desert, but I would like a little more caricature development.. What.. He freaks out when a stormtroopers is killed and a little later he is killing stormtroopers like no tomorrow...
Space is so mind boggling big that that chance of meeting Han Solo in space is mind boggling small (they even had his old ship very nostalgic and nice, but even less lightly)... Hey they could have meet him at the Rebel base or something... Talking about odds, That Death star planned looked pretty big, good the heroes don't get lost and not to mention find each other.
First order not killing captured ace pilots.
The most incompetent dark lord ever...
The Death star was not big enough?
The rebels where still rebels... Would you not think the remnants of the empire like the first order could be considered rebels by the victors? Or would the rebels now be defensive force of something? Never mind
Both of them where lucky not to turn on the lightsabre on the wrong way around as they had only heard of them in myths!! Come on...
Luc Skywalker's impressive stone hut collection, guess u can really get board living on that island...
Did I feel like a child again? In the intro Yes, but that quickly went away as my inner child got very disappointed that the storyline was dismissed for a movie designed to be accepted due to nostalgia and Hollywood blockbuster CGI entertainment deigned for short attention span and selling toys.
I can go on for a long time, but I will spare you the further horrors of my spelling....
