Ha!
SPOILERS
Lot of miscasting. Han’s son looked nothing like he was the offspring of that union. Also hate anything connected to the monstrosity that is the tv series GIRLS.
The black ‘stormtrooper gone rogue’ wasn’t much of an actor and was just ‘the black dude.’ Waste of casting job just to be PC. New girl (who I assume will later be revealed to be a relative of one of our major players) was attractive enough. Bit thick cankles. Wish a younger Keira Knightly had played the part. Would have also prevented it from looking like an AARP commercial.
Overall though, despite the retread plot, was an enjoyable bit of nostalgia. After the disasters of episodes 1-3 was nice to see something that didn’t suck.
They economized....didn't have to pay him jack. Btw he's a Nigerian by way of England
Here are my issues with it...
1. Capt Phasma was a massive letdown. Looks completely badass but gets taken prisoner and never fires a shot. What a waste of awesome imagery even if she comes back in the next movie.
2. Stormtroopers are no better soldiers or pilots this time around. Just drop like flies vs. anyone.
3. Harrison Ford was simply too old to be in the story. Sorry but I couldn't get past it.
4. If Fin was raised from birth to be a stormtrooper, why did he fold before he even fired a shot? Just gave up. Needs some back-story.
5. Did the First Order really let 5 people destroy their entire base? Thousands of troops but not a bit of defense against a few lightly armed rebels.. Come on..
But those are small compared to the biggest sin committed by this movie... HOW THE HELL DID REY DEFEAT REN WITHOUT A BIT OF TRAINING??? She picked up Luke's lightsabre and beat a trained "Sith" like she's been trained from infancy. She was able to use the power for the force without a bit of knowledge of what it is. That alone almost warrants a thumbs down.
