I enjoyed it. It was a real surprise to see Jar Jar Binks return as one of the main characters. I’ll admit I was flabbergasted when he turned out to be Luke’s brother!
Gonna be hard to get used to Han Solo as a woman, though.
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.
I was surprised when they killed him off at the end. It almost cost the movie its PG rating when Luke ripped off his arm and beat him to death with it.
