Not what I expected

Rating: 5/10 (26 September 2016)

With all the hype of bringing back the original cast, one would think this movie would have been fantastic and geared around the old favorite characters. Right? WRONG.
Are the writers and producers so obtuse they didn't realize the selling point of this episode was the return of the original characters? You know that is what everyone was expecting when they paid for their ticket, only to be sadly let down.
While the movie does contain all the flair with special effects and amazing visuals expected in a Star Wars episode (Which is the only reason I scored this film a 5) but let's down the viewer by neglecting to write the old characters into to the story.
If you are going to watch this flick hoping to see your old favorites with the storyline revolving around them, you will be sadly disappointed. To give you an idea; Mark Hamill doesn't even have a speaking role. Hi camera time was about 10 seconds. No exaggeration.
