Truly Sad

Rating: 1/10 (17 December 2015)

Absolutely the worst Star Wars Saga continuation imaginable. Neither J.J. Abrams or Disney consulted the already extensive continuation ideas published by the Star Wars community that was given then nod by George Lucas. They flat out slapped all of that down to came up with their own idea of how the story should continue which was oddly enough like watching the original Star Wars A New Hope though a set of 3-D 4K glasses. The character development was sloppy and quick and the storyline was poorly imagined and lazily written. The movie direction was half witted attempting to air on the side of cheap, lame humor rather than the deep underlying emotion and moral/ethical conflicts portrayed throughout the original movies. I would have expected more from J.J. Abrams who claims himself a fan of the original movies.
Disney has created a movie that lives up to it's name however making the movie feel like a Disney fairyland instead of a "....Galaxy far far away" that has real life troubles. All new young actors bringing little to no trained talent to the movie. This movie does a great disservice to the Star Wars fan base and to the unimaginably gifted and talented story telling ability/vision of George Lucas and will be remembered as such by true Star Wars fans. I for one will not be watching the new films that have no doubt already been hastily shoved though the early stages of production.
