In a universe where the previous movies never happened...

Rating: 5/10 (4 January 2018)

Wanted to watch this again before (maybe seeing) the last jedi.
Regarding this film: it is as if the Whole Star Wars saga never happened.
Same plots, same basic roles, and a few new bad guys (one a very emotional and out of control main character, think Anakin on a very bad day)
Another, larger Death Star.
And no one in the Entire universe seems the least bit worried about the New Order building a planet size death star aimed right at them, or it consuming a sun.
Really??? The old one blew up Alderan and had hyperspace abilities. But nope, only "a handful of rebels" are worried. The rest of the galaxy just sits facing down the barrel of a huge gun, apparently surprised at their own deaths.
The New Order is the Empire, which of course is not very bright either.
Solo is back to smuggling and lost track of the only thing he seems to value more then Chewy.
Again, as if none of the previous movies ever happened, from Death Stars to overcoming the Empire, to Luke himself (who apparently has locked himself away).
And the new heroine, Rey, wow. Not sure what she is, but she is a woman who can do absolutely everything and anything, mechanical, Force based, saber fighting.
Of course, how she does this all is a huge question a she seems to be a scavenger on a lonely, dusty planet. No training, education, just surviving. But she know it all.
As for Jedi and training, she does not need any of it. Perhaps she is "all force".
