TO ALL MY LONG-TIME STAR WARS FANS, I AM SO SORRY :(

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2017)

Here are "some" problems I thought about while watching this movie.
I am definitely not the biggest fan but I always enjoy seeing how passionate real fans are when it comes to this series. For some, this series is their life and I feel so bad to know that many of them were disappointed and probably heartbroken while watching this movie. I barely got into the series right before The Force Awakens came out and I loved it . I really didn't think that they could ruin this movie . It's to precious to be given to a weak director. *cough cough* Okay here we go.
Rose's character felt so unnecessary. I thought it would pick up for her but it didn't. Her death was awkward. She has so much energy to talk to Finn and kiss him and then she just dies.
Luke Skywalker vs Kylo Ren. Jedi Legend vs Wannabe Darth Vader. Teacher vs Student. Uncle vs Nephew. I was so excited to finally see an awesome lightsaber battle. I was thinking , "Oh man , this might just top Obi-Wan vs Anakin." I was terribly wrong. Hahaha. Turned out that Luke was a hologram or whatever. He was actually meditating on a rock and then he suddenly dies. There were no signs of him being sick or weak (none that I caught). Wow I was so hyped. And then I felt like I was slapped so hard in the face. When Luke survived the attack on him and just dusted it off I was bouncing in my seat and so excited. I wondered if Luke was going to fight at all and how he would because he was old. He teased his fighting skills a little but that battle ended way to soon . Here's the thing. IF LUKE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE, HAVE HIM DIE ATLEAST AFTER AN ACTUAL EPIC BATTLE WITH KYLO. A BATTLE THAT COULD HOPEFULLY LAST LONGER THAN 40 SECONDS. Leia was able to hug Luke but Kylo's lightsaber went straight through him. As in not affecting him at all? Ok.
"Captain Phasma will have a bigger role in this movie." Right . Maybe a tad bit bigger. The fight with her and Finn was cool for the 30 seconds it lasted. When Finn picked up the electric baton. I thought we could get a cool camera angle of it in his hand and some cool shot of him opening it up. But you barley see it. Captain Phasma dies by the ground collapsing. *Face palm.*
Total lightsaber use in the movie was probably 4 minutes. I don't feel like I'm exaggerating that at all.
THE WORD "WARS" is in the title of this series. Where was he action though ? The space battles were cool but everyone wants to see lightsaber duels.
Oh Chewbacca. It was heartbreaking to see that all he fought in the movie were the little birds with doggy eyes. Pardon my lack of knowledge of the name of those creatures. He didn't use his bow or anything . Like wow.
One of the funniest parts was when Luke threw his old lightsaber behind him when Rey handed it to him . We were all wondering what he would do with it he moment he grabbed it. I thought it was funny but it felt like some SNL skit . That lightsaber has so much history and he was intending to throw it in the ocean.
R2-D2 and C3PO should have been more involved. They are a funny duo but they were barely used . Another face palm guys .
I thought Leia was going to die in the movie twice . No disrespect to Carrie Fisher at all . May she Rest In Peace. I thought she was going to die out in space, but she somehow uses the force to pull herself back to the ship. I was confused . I also thought that she would sacrifice herself and kamikaze into Snokes ship.
Speaking of Snoke. He was he puppet master. The final boss that was hiding in the shadows waiting to reveal himself. I understand that fans were so hype talking about him and making theories about him for so long. He seemed so powerful and evil. He forced pulled that general though FaceTime. But he wasn't powerful enough to sense that the lightsaber next to him was being controlled by the force. I get more and more mad as I'm writing this review.
I thought the jokes in the movie were actually funny. Tone it down just a little bit maybe? Just a little. For example, that orange character , I forgot what her name was but she was in the middle of a gunfight while FaceTiming (we'll just call it FaceTiming). Is she really that skilled to be joking around and dreaming about the master code breaker or whatever ? Not really when your life is on the line.
It was awesome to see Yoda . The initial CG looked horrible , I wanted to cry . It was a good scene. Where's Anakin's ghost ? I really felt like he would have contacted someone by now. He died happy right ? At the end of Return of the Jedi , his ghost was smiling and all. But that's all we got ? *sigh* okay .
The coolest battle was definitely the one with the guards , Kylo, and Rey. I was not disappointed about that. It was like Batman vs. Superman though. Why wait for the entire length of the movie to finally give the fans what they wanted? Why dude ? Why ? I guess I'm an action guy . I really wanted to see some lightsaber action .
Darth Vader's fight scene in Rouge One ? Epic. Obi-Wan vs Anakin ? Even more epic. The Darth Maul fight ? Geez what happened to the epic fight scenes ?!?!? :(
Turns out Rey's parents were nobodies. Sorry guys , all of your fan theory YouTube videos were failures. You guys overthought everything. Her parents are nobodies that gave her the force ..... I was thinking it'd be Qui Gon . Like someone no one expected . But whatever.
I hate to say I wish this movie was never made. It could've been so much better. This director is the James Wan of this series . James Wan ruined the Fast and The Furious Series with the seventh film . He's a horror film director for crying out loud . Why give him the keys to an action film. I'm going off topic now.
I'm sorry guys. I really am . I have sympathy for all of you . Let's hope J.J. Abraham successfully revives this series once more .
