Not that great

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2015)

Spoilers may ensue...
I'm actually thinking I'm being generous with the 4 star rating. This basically is a vague rehashing of elements from the previous movies condensed into one.
-You get another Death Star, which unsurprisingly is blown up.
-Kylo Ren is basically just another sith villain, but he looks like Marilyn Manson, inexplicably wears a Darth Vader style mask and he randomly takes it off so he's not really hiding his face with it. He is also more annoying than villainous.
-Han Solo is killed in a lame sequence.
-Rey does all this heroic stuff that makes no sense unless they reveal her to be Luke Skywalker's daughter or something in the next installment.
-Finn seems like he was added so there was another character and that's about it
-Where is Luke Skywalker? In a 20 second cameo at the end.
-before they kill off Han Solo it seems like they can't decide if they want Han Solo or Rey to be the ultimate lead character for the duration of this film. Harrison Ford was the only one who seemed like he was enjoying making this and consequently the only one who seemed believable.
Other gripes...
For 200 million this is the best they could do in special effects? The battle sequences seemed to leave a lot to be desired. The light saber duel just didn't have the feel it should have.
The script writing left a lot to be desired, the dialog seemed forced at times. The plot was unimaginative.
In previous movies the musical score added to them here it is just an afterthought it seems.
This is the best they could do? I was actually bored at times during this. They probably could have edited another 10-15 minutes out of it which would have sped up the movie if they did. It felt somewhat long but that's possibly because a lot of it seemed repetitive.
It would be an OK movie if it existed on its own, but for the hype it really isn't that spectacular. Watch IV-VI instead.
