Reboot of Episode IV on steroids but otherwise nothing special

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2016)

When Disney bough out the Star Wars franchise for billions of dollars it was natural to expect more movies to come out. This in itself is not a bad thing as the movie business is there to make money and new content entertains viewers.
Disney also bought out Pixar and if my memory serves me correctly this team works separately to avoid contamination from too much institutionalized thinking and they have managed to issue incredible movies such as their recent Inside Out. So my assumption is that Disney can and does recruit the right people to create the right content.
It is with this understanding that I went to watch Episode VII and being perfectly honest I came out from the movie with a feeling of "so what?"
Spoiler!
We have a new villain who is the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia who is now the puppet of an evil alien big villain who appears to come out from the movie "Fire in the Sky". We have a bigger Death Star that is powered by sucking energy from the sun; my guess is the inspiration came from a scientific anomaly that was reported with out sun and covered in a documentary on Discovery Channel and .... drum-roll has a weak spot that can be destroyed after the shields are taken down ... yawn!
We have a new hero, I'm presuming the separated sister of the villa who without any training can hold herself against the new villain, something unreal given that even Anakin Skywalker required training to handle himself. Maybe Kylo Ren didn't want to kill her because he needs to take her to his boss. The joke in the movie is however the character Finn who is a deserting star trooper and on his first day of coming in contact with a light saber manages to hold himself against the new dark force villa - LOL! seriously?
We have Han Solo who now has the ability to warp to light speed from planet surface to surface; I understand that this is a science fiction movie but some respect to the laws of physics would help. None of the characters are developed. It is for all intents and purpose a reboot of Episode 4 taking care to be politically correct.
We understand from an interview by the Disney CEO on Bloomberg that we are to expect another two movies and an additional two character specific movies. It is quite obvious to expect one on Kylo Ren and how he became the new bad boy on the block, the other I have no idea. I just hope that Disney heeds to comments from the audience that a culture story such as Star Wars deserves truly innovative content, even if a little risky and that merely recycling content is an insult.
Other production houses can afford to milk the audience with sequels and prequels by riding on the success of previous movies but if Disney does this with Star Wars my fear is that the next generation will quite simply stop at Episode 6
