Pretty Disappointing...

Rating: 6/10 (3 January 2016)

I am not sure why I gave this a six. It probably deserves less. Maybe some of the acting was decent and at least there was no Jar-Jar Binks; although the stereotype Eastern "grandma" was rather painful (however, mercifully, she did not tag along).
As has been mentioned many times this is not a sequel but a *remake * or reboot of IV. One or two references might be considered an homage but the whole plot was basically lifted.
Also CGI battle scenes are over the top as usual in the last several outings.
I've now been fooled twice into seeing the start of a "new" Star Wars trilogy in the theatre. Shame on me. The last two will be in watch on a library disc or Netflix category...
