A bad remake of the Original

Rating: 3/10 (18 September 2016)

In many ways this is simply a remake of the original Star Wars trilogy except there was a desire to make the heroes black and female for liberals.
Remakes of classics are never good but this was done particularly poorly and instead of billing it as a remake so we would be prepared it is supposed to be a continuation.
Leah and Han's son Ben Solo is just like Anakin Skywalker he is trained as a Jedi and turns to the darkside becoming Kylo Ren, a poor ripoff of Darth Vader. Snoke plays the same role the Emperor did in the original. Luke feels horrible for losing him to the darkside and runs away to become a hermit where no one can find him taking up the role of Yoda essentially.
To placate liberals the traditional role of Luke is given to a female, Rey. The catch in the remake is that she is not trained by anyone and simply learns on her own how to use the force in a very short period of time. She is never trained at anything and yet is a master of all trades, she can fix or fly anything, and an expert with all weapons.
In the original film C3PO and R2D2 are being hunted down by the Empire because they have blueprints to the Deathstar which could enable the rebels to figure out how to destroy it. In this remake a droid has a map to the galaxy showing where Luke is and thus is being hunted down in hopes of killing Luke. The planet is a desert just like Luke's home planet. A rebel pilot trying to get the drone to take back to Leah is captured. He is freed by Finn a former stormtrooper who deserted and is trying to escape. Finn is essentially in the film just to be a token black protagonist. His character doesn't have much development or depth. Rey and Finn happen to find the Millennium Falcon in a junkyard and escape in it with the droid.
The successor to the Empire builds a deathstar that is bigger than ever- it is constructed out of a planet but is essentially the same thing just bigger and thus more powerful. It is called starkiller base because it sucks the power from stars till they are dead and uses such power to destroy anything it desires.
The Millennium Falcon is caught in a tractor beam just like it was in the original except this time it is not a Star Destroyer but rather a vessel commanded by Han. He decided to catch it because he wants his old ship back. His vessel is attacked and he uses the Falcon to escape.
The successor to the Empire attacks the New Republic and what remains scatters becoming just like the Rebels of old. They go to an old Rebel compound finding R2D2 and Rey finds Luke's old lightsaber. She is captured like Leah was.
The Falcon goes to where Leah is to bring the droid and tell what has transpired with the new deathstar. The map the droid has only shows the general location where Luke is not the surrounding area so they still can't figure out how to find him.
Finn stole plans and show that if they target a particular area the wepaon system will overload while is is sucking a star of its power and this could destroy the base but they need to find a way to knock the shields out first.
Conveniently the shields won't block anything that is traveling at light speed. Han decides to fly the Falcon through at lightspeed and then abruptly cut power and crash land on the planet. Then they will break into the base in a ripoff of Return of the Jedi's Endor scene except without the Ewoks. Leah tells Han to bring their boy back he is not beyond salvation.
Han, Finn, and Chewy crashland and break in. Rather than having them free Rey like happened with Leah Rey breaks out herself. She suddenly realizes she has the force with her and uses it to control the mind of a stormtrooper who she orders to free her and to give her his blaster. She kills numerous stormtroopers and winds up meeting up with the gang. They knock out the shields are are ready to escape and then Kylo Ren appears mimicking Luke when he faced Vader. Han goes up to him and tells him to leave the darkside and come with them. To change things up from the original Ren pulls out his light saber and kills Han. Chewy, Finn and Rey go to the Falcon but Ren is waiting for them. Finn has Luke's light saber and fights Ren but he is mauled. Then Rey takes the light saber and even though she never used one before she is better at it than Ren who was trained in its use and she kills him.
The rebels weaken the area causing a malfunction and the whole plant blows up like the death star did. Chewy, Ren and Finn escape back to Leah before it blows. The droid shows its map then R2D2 comes to life and provides the remainder of the map so now they can find Luke.
Rey goes to the planet and finds Luke and it ends with her holding out Luke's light saber for him to take. Clearly she will become a Jedi under his training in the next film. Since she already is the best at everything from marksmanship to light saber fighting and knows how to use her powers it begs the question why she even needs to train with Luke. This kind of garbage was in part what ruined the film.
All in all it was a huge let down.
