Jump out of light-speed behind the shield, duh?

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2015)

.. or why not just call the eagles, they'll solve everything.
Rey could fix the film, she's never made a film -- or been on a working spaceship -- but she sells scrap, man! She knows everything about the Falcon, can just rip out a circuit board that was clearly put there for no reason at all.
Then she'll figure out she can control your mind.. how convenient.
Crazy part is, Daisy Ridley (Rey) holds the film together. Her acting feels real. Unfortunately makes those around her look pale and hollow.
What justifies a 1/10 rating? Providing excellent story elements, characters, and thus potential, and then wasting it with plot holes: - jumping over the shield - fixing/hacking random complex technology - learning superpowers on the spot - losing superpowers on the spot (what up, Kylo Ren?) - Han shooting dudes over his shoulder - Han using Chewy's crossbow for the 1st time ("I like this!" !?) - Lame acting, looking at you John Boyega (Finn)
Most of all, Jeff Abrams, this is your mess. It's your job to synthesize the elements together.
Han dies. That's fine. Sure, I don't think it did the character justice. But the movie jumped the shark at, well, jumping the shield.
Ultimately, it feels like a fan-film. Fun in parts, jilted plot line, B grade acting, and something best forgotten about.
Star Wars is a trilogy.
