New Title - "Nostalgia"

Rating: 6/10 (17 January 2016)

I knew going in to this film that it wasn't going to be as good as the first two films. Still, I did have high expectations for this film that unfortunately feel flat. This film seems like the first three films thrown together in a blender. With the all the similarities, I was surprised there were no ewoks in the film. Aside from the plot, I felt like the old characters were given too much screen time. While I do love Harrison Ford (My favorite actor), I feel that a lot of the time he doesn't fit into the plot. His relationship with Leia seems forced. These old characters overshadow the potential of Rey and Finn. I like the two new main characters along with Poe who is great in the film. But, this overshadowing wasn't just during the film. Mark Hamill was SECOND BILLED in the credits and didn't have a SINGLE line! He was more important in Kingsman as Professor Arnold than he was in his signature film series. The one thing that saved this film was the action. It may have been michael bay- esque, but at least it was awesome. Episode IV and V in my opinion are 10/10 movies, but this film just didn't cut it. I'm not that big of a star wars fans as I haven't seen the prequel movies, but I know this one seemed like a Brady Bunch reunion. 6/10
