Huge logical and and artistic flaws - SAD

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2015)

Strong points:
1. No/minimal cgi sets/props/characters create better sense of reality. 2. Music: actually it seems John Williams composed some new music for this one rather than recycling his old themes
Weak points: 1. Non sensical plot/bad guy is a moron: bad guy leaves the droid with the map to the rebels because he can read girls mind who has seen the map. Stupidity to the nth degree since he should want the map to STAY AWAY from the rebel's hands. Also it turns out the girl is not so easy to get the map out from. 2. Non sensical plot: Bad guy who wants to be like his grand father darth vader. Newsflash to JJ Abrams: in star wars the deceased jedi including darth vader have been known to communicate with the living. Darth vader started as bad ended good and he would surely show up to spank his naughty grand son. 3. Bad guy is lame and looks like a dork. Also he is prone to hysteric fits during which he makes a royal mess of the surroundings with his lame light saber. 4. Bad guy gets his ass handed to him but an untrained girl. 5. Geriatric cast looks sad. No problem with older actors who look dignified and wise. Carrie Fisher looked like the mummy with plastic surgery and could not even speak well. Harrison Ford dressed in his attire of 40 years ago was like an 80-old rocker dressed for a concert. Mark Hammil did not speak a single word and looked utterly incapable of doing so also. More precisely he looked puffed up like a balloon. 6. Disney-fication of combat physics: when sizable explosions take place under over or near humans they blow up to pieces or pulverize. They do not go flying for 5-20 yards and land safely on the wall or ground. 7. Plot to blow up death star #3 was a remake of the plot of return of jedi (death star #2) which was a remake of episode IV (death star #1). I see a pattern: death stars are vulnerable. No point in trying to make more of those. 8. Super bad guy (aka emperor clone): he looks like a very badly designed cartoon. Pathetic. 9. Laser finger guards on the light saber. This has been mentioned numerous times but needs repeating. Sword finger guards protect the bearer's hand from sliding on the blade. If the guards were made of laser it would burn or lop off the swordsman's own fingers.
Overall: 5 out of 10 on a good day.
