"I'm already on my way out." Out of the cinema....

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2015)

Oh come on, please...how can anybody rate this one more than five stars? So much has been said about the flaws and plot holes of this movie. I don't want to repeat it all. But I have to figure out some of my opinions because I just can't bare these 10 stars ratings made especially by professional "critics" (are these blind and deaf?) anymore.
I would describe myself as a Star Wars fan. I'm not a hardcore one, but I watched the six movies more than once, played enough computer games and read an amount of EU novels. At the moment I'm reading Timothy Zahn's THRAWN-trilogy again - I think just because I'm that disappointed with TFA.
I sat in the theater watching this movie and felt more and more bored and perplexed. When the end credits went on screen I felt some kind of emptiness. This was supposed to be IT? The long awaited an over-hyped new Star Wars? No. This movie is not Star Wars. It lacks everything that is so special about the original series and even the prequels. There is no magic in this movie, no character development, no build up of tension, no logical actions and backgrounds of the main characters, even no memorable score (and John Williams did this one again!).
What the hell has happened since ROTJ?? Nothing is explained. You can find it in Jedipedia oder a source book, but come on - I am supposed to buy a source book to understand what is going on on screen? Really?? Even worse the main plot totally fails to understand the character of Luke Skywalker. Never (!) would he have let down all of his friends - and the entire galaxy - just because one of his students suddenly changes to the dark side and from now on wears a superfluous face mask and adores the half melted helmet of Darth Vader... The whole film is based on this silly thesis, and it goes down from there on.
What do you get in the movie? You get an Empire Mk2 being this time a kind of 3rd Reich in space, not an overwhelming military power, building planet-size Super-Death Star Mk3. You get dumb Stormtroopers who still are not able to hit a barn door with their guns at sight. You get some complete unbelievable "heroes" including wonder woman just for plot reasons. Etc. Everything has been pointed out here on IMDb so many times.
Did the film makers really think "yeah, let's put in the Falcon, Droids, Leia, Han, evil Empire, Death Star, black coated main villain with laser sword, desert planet, X-Wings and a trench run and these dumbs will buy it as Star Wars"? It is to be feared to have been like that.
I have to fight back my tears considering Timothy Zahn's "Heir to the Empire" being adapted for the screen. They could have done any story. Any story would have been better than TFA! I personally don't consider this one to be Star Wars. And I will not watch episodes VIII & IX on big screen. No Sir, you killed Star Wars for me!
