Insulting

Rating: 2/10 (3 February 2018)

I created an IMDb account specifically to add my 2 cents on here.
I don't even know where to start. The lack of proper, well-written character depth, the boring plot, or the fact that recurring characters bear no resemblance whatsoever to their counterparts in previous films??
First gargantuan mistake in my less-than-humble opinion, is when General Leia Organa floated in space - presumably taking advantage the Force. Except the Force does not work like that at all, and being in vacuum space with no air support or space suit whatsoever should've killed her.
The new support character was made with minimum effort, and the acting was barely tolerable. She later ended up pushing Finn out of the way when he was ready to become a martyr in order to save whoever remained of the Resistance - he was READY to sacrifice himself for something bigger than himself, or the world he ever knew. But NOPE, gotta have a cheap non-memorable love story on the side, eh?
Then, the cheap tagline of "the spark that will light the fire that burns the First Order"? What film does Rian Johnson think he's directing, the next Hunger Games?
I gave an extra star for the pogs. They're cute, as are the robots. But even then their appearances were kept to a minimum.
I can't believe how insulting this is to the original creators of Star Wars, and the fans who have grown up with it, or grown up loving it.
