Marvel in star wars clothing

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2017)

Writing fails aside, this movie destroy the pre-existing mythos. All the themes of the world, the very rules things work by, the tone of the writing - all gone. It even undoes the original hero's journey, at the same time as skipping all of that out for Rey. And you can tell this is Disney's actual intention if you see "rebels". There intention isn't merely a character reset, its to completely retool the universe. Basically marvel in star wars clothing.
In terms of writing, there were character arcs without resolution, plot points that made no sense, and in general the complete absence of character development.
If this wasn't a star wars movie I might have given a four. The effects and action is good, the humour is subpar and offkey and everything else, apart from a scene or two is lacking.
