Thought it sucked.
Take away Han Solo and the Star Wars nostalgia and this movie has nothing going for it. The plot was nonsensical and the acting was horrible. How do you build Death Star EXTREME that’s 10 times the size of the original Death Star without the Republic knowing about it? “Well they did it in secret”. Oh... Is that why the resistance had the plans for it? Jedi knights have natural force abilities but gaining light saber fight techniques and mind control tricks with no training?! AND beating a TRAINED Sith Lord like Monty Pythons Black Knight?!
Nah - it’s just JJ Abrams slobbering all over another franchise. The man can’t tell a story to save his life and can only steal from other sources. Why they didn’t let the Rebels/Clone Wars writers do the story is beyond me.
And no, it’s not better than the prequels.
I’m getting tired of all the articles about how Harrison Ford wanted to kill off Solo for a long time. I thought,Ford didn’t write the story so he shouldn’t have a say. If he hated the part so much, why the hell did he try out for it?
Thought it sucked.........
And it will still bring in a billion dollars in ticket sales. I am skipping this crappy PC movie. I am sick of hearing about the young actor/actress co-stars plucked from obscurity who both are British which is ridiculous.
This follows along with the entire cultural “get rid of the no longer useful white guys” meme the world seems to be working on.
