Hidden elephant in the room...

Rating: 3/10 (27 December 2017)

In a scy-fi world there are a couple of ground rules set at the beginning and then all is allowed as long as it abides to them. In this movie Jedis gained super-powers. The thing with super-powers is that while it's handy to move the plot forward it distances characters from the spectator.
Leia is a new kind of superman.
Rey can video-chat across the universe.
Given that we may expect star destroyers to be imploded by the sheer will of the Jedi. Makes no sense. It's a bit like the first scene where we see a replica of a B-Wing dropping bombs in space. It's a beautiful image but "drop" in space?! What hard-core fans dislike is not the lack of charisma or having a multi-racial crew, star wars envolves the whole of the galaxy (!) what we seriously get crossed at is seeing mumbo-jumbo driving the plot to unrealistic places where the show will never be able to recover from.
Disney will probably be way better at doing the StarWars Stories than the canon as those are way more loose.
It's a shame it had to end like this.
