This is not Star Wars

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2015)

I was a boy when I first watched Star Wars episode IV in theater. And I loved it and I loved V and VI. I was a man (and still am, married, with two children); my son was a boy when we watched Episode I. My son loved Jar Jar, he is not so bad. And my son, my wife and I loved Episode II and III too. My daughter was a baby. Those are Star Wars movies.
I don't know what this is...
My son is Hi school teenager now and we rarely go to the theater together. It's normal, he has his own world, his own friends, his own interests...
We went to see NEW STAR WARS film together. My little girl did not want to go because she is still young and more interested in cartoons then some Star Wars movies. My wife stayed with her. We were to excite to wait...
After the show was over, we walked down the street in silence. I asked my son: "Did you like the movie?"
He paused, then said: "Yes, it's good... (pause)... really good... (pause)... the girl is cute... (pause)... everything is wrong."
"Yes" - I said - "I feel the same".
Everything I think about this "movie" is said in other negative comments. I will focus on some other aspects I think are important.
All male characters in this move are deliberately picked too look like wimps, idiots, twisted freaks. Except for one - that fighter pilot from the binning.
Even Han Solo, Star Wars Icon, hero of the rebellion, General of the rebel army, is again 70 years old low life. He abandoned his wife (or lover, a women he has son with) and his own son, to continue his criminal activities. Men do that, being a petty criminal is more important then family. And he died like a .... killed by his own son - pathetic. Even evil Dart Vader could not kill his son and his son could not kill him. This was the magic of Star Wars, killed in this movie, with this scene.
At the same time there is Leia, Princess, Hero of the rebellion, General and respected leader of this new rebellion. She makes Han Solo looks like total wimp. Especially when you see that every little scavenger girl can fly his ship better then he ever was.
That storm trooper (not worth of remembering his name) - he is trained to be elite soldier of the empire (or whatever they call it in this). He is clumsy, incompetent and he don't know how to carry a gun... but... he knows how to fight with a light saber - awesome. Why is this character here? Another man wimp - NO! He is great in his pathetic sacrifice to save our little heroine.
Long time ago in a galaxy far far away we had a Dart Wader, big sinister figure, cruel and deadly efficient. Whenever you see him makes you scream "run for your life". He is dead.
Now we got Dart Idiot. Whenever you see him makes you scream "look, its Dart Idiot, lets punch him in the face". Another man - wimp.
New emperor looks twisted and silly... That general of his looks like Nazi from WW2.
Only one bad women character - that storm trooper captain. And she is helping them do the right thing. Yes of course, she is a woman, maybe she is evil but she is not bad as the man around her.
And what of the main characters? Both abandoned children. How many of you out there have family? How many of you will abandon your own child? Luke and Leia were hidden from their father, not abandoned. They lived in good families and Luke had a protector all the time.
Our little heroine has been digging through the garbage all her life, never went to any school and she knows everything. She knows how to fly a spaceship better then trained pilots, although it is first time in her life to ever enter one. How brilliant and how resourceful she is. She only needs to see something and just by looking she knows everything about it. Including Force. How is this possible - simple, she is a girl, a supergirl.
Maybe in the next sequel we will have a revelation that Superman is not the only one that survived. They may be even related.
Or more likely, we will have Thinker Bell Jedi. (No disrespect to Thinker Bell characters and movies - they are great cartoons. It's just, the heroine in this movie looks like a Thinker Bell to me.)
And in the end Luke Skywalker. He is just sitting on that rock of his while his daughter is chased across the galaxy fighting for her life (if she is his and not daughter of Leia). All the same his blood, but he just doesn't care. He is a man, men do that, they do not care. If the Luke was a female character I bet she will be running to the rescue at the beginning of the movie. What happened to Luke who decided to go to Bespin and help his friends, with his training incomplete, and face Dart Vader?
There is no love in this movie. The only scene where we could get some love was between Han Solo and his son - it was ruined pathetically.
