Makes the prequels almost look good

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2015)

SPOILERS: I'm not going to bother giving a blow by blow of how bad this film is. I'll stick to the most ridiculous aspects.
1. The main character, a Luke Skywalker mish-mash named Ray (Rei, Reh, whatever) is able to learn everything that Luke learned in the first two movies in a matter of hours ON HER OWN with no help from anyone or any teacher. She is able to defeat the dark apprentice Darth Vader clone with a light-saber with NO TRAINING IN THE WEAPON while the dark apprentice has been training for at least since before the movie started. She is able to fix anything, fly anything, and defeat creatures far larger than herself in spite of having been living virtually alone on a desert planet since she was an infant. Essentially, she is Obi-wan Kinobi of the first movie, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker at the end of the second movie, and Anikan Skywalker combined (as far as her skills are concerned). This is absolutely idiotic.
2. There is nothing in this that wasn't done better in the other six movies. The music is cheesy digital rehash of the other movies' music with some entirely unnoticeable additions. The film is dark and has none of the clarity of previous films. All of the characters, and all of the plot-lines, are from the previous movies. The child-like innocence of the performances of the first movie are replaced with forced caricatures of child-like innocence. While the actors in this film may be better than Mark Hamil, they are far less convincing.
I don't feel like wasting anymore of my life with this. The movie was enough of a loss of time and money, and I felt cheated even though I paid less than 5.50 for it.
