Ratings and reviews

Even on sale its still a rip off. poorly written characters, nonsense plot Completely disjointed set of films with no real flow The post empire canon is well established in the star wars expanded universe, but Disney want to stamp their own brand on it and sadly they failed miserably, while completely tearing down the established galaxy. The imperial remnant becomes the first order, which after crumbling completely still has enough resources to amass a fleet and space station greater than the combined resources of the empire that preceded it. The primary antagonist is just a useless plot device of no consequence. The first order is riddled with incompetence holding none of the menace it held as the empire yet is somehow more threatening. This is meant to be funny but just comes off as tedious. The resistance is still a small splinter force of freedom fighters even though they are now the galactic government, its just a sad nostalgia tug to try and rebrand the rebel alliance and makes no sense given the history. Sadly the priciple character is a shallow Mary Sue, which is a real shame because she could have been a great character. Whenever you point this out people call you a mysognist but a Mary Sue is defined by... - being beautiful check, - being amazing at everything even without reason or practice, check - instantly liked/loved by all for no reason other than they are awesome, check - upstaging every other character they are in a scene with, check - Unassailable virtuousness that immediately quallifies them as a hero, check. Rei is a weak character which is a real shame. Just imagine what these films could have been with a strong well written female lead like Ellen Ripley from alien in the jedi role, goosbumps but it isn't meant to be. Its a MacGuffin fest from start to finish. rian johnson doesn't seem to know how space works. He then builds the whole second movie around his flawed understanding of it. Its almost unwatchable its so bad. I tip my hat to the cast who did what they could with what they had, the fault lies purely on writers, directors and producers for this one. The third one tries to salvage it and J.J. Abrams did an ok job but by that time you just don't care anymore. The whole series is just bad fan fiction, in fact I've seen some fan fiction that tops it for less plot holes and better characters. When you think of the budget that went into them its really just appaling that this is what they came up with.

I'm an extreem fan of the original 4, 5, and 6. They messed with Luke's character way to much and turned him from excited go getter to coward hermit. Why is all I ask, we fans didn't deserve to have a new commercial get all the attention. We wanted to see what would happen with the one we knew. He was still so young with having to start a jedi academy with the help of yoda and Obi-Wan instead we get this bunch of mess. Oh well. If I could give it half a star I would.

It's sad how terrible they messed up the sequels. They created some great news characters in 7 and then did nothing with them but 3 tribute movies to the originals. Movie 7 should of been some easter eggs and pass the torch with new stories. It's even sadder when you consider all the ideas and possibilities in the EU.
