Star Wars: The Homage Cliché Edition

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2015)

Is it fun - yes. Yes it is. It's a Star Wars film. Light sabers and TIE Fighters oh my! There will always be something fun in the fantasy of this universe.
Except do not expect anything GOOD here. Nothing new. Nothing reasonable. Nothing that leaves you going OH HELL YEAH!!!111!
Nothing. It's a transparent Ep4 remake with homages to the original trilogy all through it. It's equally as sad as the Star Trek reboots. Fun, but soulless.
I went in hoping against hope that this would be all new awesomeness - Kylo Ren's character had this inherent badass plot line that could have been staggering.
Wasn't. Cheeseballed worse than the R2D2 Deus ex Machina.
Just terrible. Terrible plot, character dev, resolves, shadowing. All of it was terrible. But it's Star Wars and I can't help myself.
6 stars because I know I'll see the next two. 🤕👍 And I'll pay for it at the cinemas.
