Just disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2017)

First of all, I really tried my best to give this movie a chance.
I usually tend to react a bit too hard when it comes to logical flaws in movies, so I tried to ignore turbolaser projectiles with ballistic arcs in space or the fact that an entire fleet of first order ships has NOT A SINGLE SHIP that is faster than escaping random rebel ships. Oh and the rebel ships also withstand hours of bombardment, because according to the movie, turbolaser fire in space looses power over distance.
Also its not possible for a few ships of the first order fleet to make a short hyperspace jump to intercept the escaping resistance ships.
Aaaanyway, I can ignore all that. But as most people already said, none of the main characters is interesting or has a deep story. The first order doesnt really feel like a threat, more like a bunch of pirates without a command structure that somehow managed to steal a few ships.
This empty story is filled with obvious merchandise-focussed decisions, like cute little birds that will sell good in the stores but have no story impact whatsoever.
The whole movie felt like a bad Marvel movie, not like StarWars.
Disney should be ashamed to replace thousands of stories people wrote, a whole universe created by fans for fans, with this empty and sad movie.
