I want Darth Vadar back...

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2015)

I love Star Wars, especially Han Solo, and like many I walked into the theater full of hope and excitement.
Boy was I wrong.
The story line was weak. It contained many aspects of A New Hope, which I was not happy with. The villain wasn't really even a GOOD villain. He was a whiny baby with some serious anger management. The only really "evil" thing he did was kill Han Solo. Which was a symptom of the weak storyline. The fact is they needed something worth remembering, something that everyone would talk about, and they supplied it, but it was done stupidly. How Kylo Ren took his mask off, cried a little, then WOOPS there goes Han. Of course this is NO big deal because it is easily predictable that he will just come back in episode VIII, during a battle, probably when they need it most. And everyone being able to use the Force? What happened to all of the serious training and years it took to master its power and become a Jedi? When Kylo is torturing/reading Rey's mind or who knows what, all of the sudden she can just fight back? Despite just learning of the Force's existence? Huh? And The First Order? Where in the world did they come from? The rebels defeated the Empire in Episode VI, I wanted some background on that at LEAST. How did they "rise from the ashes"? Where did this "all powerful" Supreme Leader Snoke come from? I mean come on!
Also, I don't think for one second that Han would just leave Leia. And we are still supposed to believe she didn't go looking for him after that? Seriously? But the one major thing I would not EVER forgive is why (WHY) did Luke just go into exile. I don't care how sad he was he WOULD NOT have done that. And the whole plot was around finding the rest of this map that would lead to him? No. Luke wouldn't just DO that. That's STUPID AND PATHETIC.
I don't completely hate this movie, it had some bright spots(mostly in the beginning). Unlike some I liked Finn, BB-8, I even liked Rey and Poe Dameron, but I felt as if they could have done so MUCH with this movie and they just threw it away. So overall it just didn't feel like Star Wars.
I will not have high hopes for the sequels, but I am expecting that they WILL be better than this big, fat disappointment.
