Yes is a new Star Wars world

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2015)

What can I say, I am a Star Wars fan as most of you ... but I am a bit disappointed. Star Wars had a story after the "Return of the Jedi", out from the films, comics, video games, and sadly this movie erased ALL of that. Call me a nerd, call me a classic fan, and call me a follower but all was wiped out in a story that maybe never happened. JJ did an acceptable job with Star Trek and I gave him a vote of confidence for Star Wars, big mistake.
The story is a re-introduction to all the persons seeking new fans (well done Disney) in other words is some sort of reboot, remake, reuse, etc. The movie is another thing. From technical aspects, CGI, and models are awesome, seeing the Falcon flying again is something we were waiting. The acting is good from Boyega, Ford, Ridley, but I can't say the same from Fisher that was a bit rusty and overacted when she showed emotions at the climax of the Act 3. The villains are a joke. A new unknown "emperor" that at the beginning looked like a creature taken from Tolkien's books was hilarious, the other villain .. Kylo Ren portrayed by Adam Driver, let's say that is a Vader wannabe, in most of the parts were overacting. Captain Phasma, one of the biggest lies in the film industry due to all the marketing she had; isn't the fault of Gwendoline Christie, is the script didn't give her any action line, a waste of a good talent and lead potential.
This story even if tries to take the good parts of the old Star Wars didn't follow the old stories based in films, comics, books, games, that had been with us for almost 35 years. JJ ignored ALL and gave us a nice thriller for the new generations that only saw the original movies of Star wars few weeks ago.
Major Review: I am upset reading that this movie is better than one of the originals, as critics said, that is a big lie. Abrams took the New Hope and reused most of the ideas, now we need a planet size Death Star, now we need to destroy several planets, Alderaan wasn't enough, now we need an Emperor in a form of a creature, now we need a new Empire called the new order, now we still having a Rebellion, now we need a new Darth Vader an emblematic villain with a great voice portrayed by a person using a mask even if he doesn't need it (Han agrees with me in the movie, when he says the same) with a weird voice and terrible acting, and is just a puppet of a weird creature, this imitator is recovered wounded at the end following the same idea of Star Wars II (sadly they didn't film a scene but don't worry they mention it. Now we need to attack this planet weapon and try to enter into some kind of vent ..... wait I think we had seen that, but where?? This is a remake is hard to say it but is a remake. Rey is like Luke, Finn is like Han.
Captain Phasma a TOTAL waste of screen minutes, I had a lot of hopes for this character was thinking in finding a strong female, they were saying that she is awesome, a woman lead and bad ass. Big lie a total waste of a great look with a lot of potential that belongs to the thrash (happened in the movie literally), sadly this part could have been done BY anyone that could wear a helmet no matter the gender.
To all this weird soup add the indifference showed by Leia, she seems to be a bit rusty with her role. New characters like Finn and Rey try to do their job but a TIE Fighter with a co-pilot, Abrams did you watched Episode IV?? How did Poe survive and how the heck appeared piloting an X-wing after almost dying when he was escaping?. Rey, perhaps the most interesting character but has several story mistakes. A simple scavenger is super skilled in piloting an all piece of junk (Millennium Falcon) better than Han Solo?? Reminds me Episode I and the pod race, also is able to fix everything, and almost defeat Kylo without any  ANY Jedi training. If we remember Episode V, Luke almost died after fighting Vader, he lost his arm and Yoda trained him so Rey almost defeated a Jedi trained by Luke, are you kidding me?? Luke must be a terrible Master.
Finally the encounter of Han and Kylo (Han's son, sadly in books, comics, and another stuff Han had 3 kids, Jacen, Jaina, Anakin and Luke's was Ben) was too hard for Abrams changing the Ben name to one of them, why the heck using Ben when Ben is the name of Luke's son in the books, etc? Maybe Abrams needs to read a bit more about Star Wars than killing years of work from another artist and authors, and finally, this Darth Vader imitator kills Han Solo, yes kills one of the MOST important and iconic heroes in the most insignificant way without a glorious heroic fight.
Since all is a big remake we can guess in Episode VIII, Luke will say to Rey "I am your father" and to Kylo "I am your uncle", a person that had read at least some stories after Episode VI must be upset for the lack of respect to all them. I am not saying follow the stories but, at least, try to have a certain relation with them (Marvel does that at least). I wonder what could be thinking George Lucas, I created Jar Jar and they blamed me now this Jar Jar messed and reused my story and they are loving him??
