Great way to lose fans!

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2015)

As a Star Wars fan I can only express my disappointment. Thank you Disney, for killing Star Wars. The writers were asleep on the job relying on old clichés and no originality. Boring! Shallow plot and dialogue. The casting was even worse which made everyone ill-suited for their roles accept Chewbacca. The directing and editing were horrible. The costumes were a joke. The leader of the empire had a hat that looked like it was fashioned out of vinyl-covered paper. Nazi flags hung in the background...how original. The new villain wore a kindergarten Halloween mask which served no apparent purpose. He revealed himself to be a wimpy version of Harry Potter's Snape character who had Daddy issues. Hardly scary! The lead actress was not believable having mystically acquired the ability of piloting every spaceship known to mankind without a plausible explanation. The lead male character ran around the whole film with his enormous mouth hanging open. His chubby, square frame made him wobble from side to side when he ran, which looked comical. He was better suited for a Shrek film. I was very happy to see more ethnic diversity in the film but they didn't need to recruit homely actors to prove their political correctness. Leia was so injected by Botox that she couldn't move her mouth which made her talk through clenched teeth the whole time. Sad, really sad.
