High expectations, mostly unfulfilled

Rating: 5/10 (1 January 2016)

I went into this latest expansion of my beloved star wars universe with very high expectations, there was a promise of a return to the values of the first trilogy of my childhood, contrary to the 2nd trilogies mistakes.
After dodging spoilers for 2 weeks (living on a small touristic island where the only cinema was closed until now) I finally managed to see the movies which had achieved critical acclaim and mostly positive feedback in general.
What I got delivered was a rework of the same story as the original trilogy, we got a damsel in distress that got kidnapped, a rescue party of young hero and old mentor, a death star, a message hidden in a droid. It's basically the same movie, just with worse actors and this time not being an original story.
Why oh why couldn't Disney actually make a movie of the existing stories that George Lucas already wrote decades ago and had also made already scripts of? Why not continue a logical story and expand the existing universe instead of reverting the story back to zero and restart the story in a worse way?
I'm very very disappointed in Disney and most likely will watch ep 8 and 9 if at all only on bluray or whatever medium is state of the art at the time, at least I won't blow my money for cinema tickets next time.
