I already saw the new Star Wars movie but I'm not telling you anything! I will just say it was amazing!


Wasn't a big fan of the bad guy. He came across as a whiny rebellious angsty teenager with daddy issues.
But come on - he got his ass kicked by a girl with literally no training. He is Luke's nephew and Anakin's grandson, the most force-sensitive family in the galaxy, and had already been trained for quite some time, even if what training he did have was incomplete. Let's not forget that we also see him stop a blaster shot in mid air.

He is literally a Darth Vader wannabe who throws temper tantrums. Apparently nobody thought to tell him that Darth Vader turned good in the end.

Also why did they have to go and make a new Death Star? I still can't believe how they managed to make the second Death Star in such a short period of time, and we're supposed to believe that this group which isn't even in power anymore somehow managed to build a new super weapon that is like five times the size of the original Death Star and capable of absorbing entire suns? Where do they get the materials to build all this stuff!?

Sorry, but the super weapon just felt like a completely needless way to make The First Order threatening. Had they just replaced it with a military base, turned the operation into an attempt to rescue Rey, the story could have literally gone the exact same way. Now it's destroyed, and had literally no impact on the plot whatsoever.

There would have been nothing wrong with making The First Order a bunch of political outcasts who supported the old regime, and don't want to stand trial for their actions.

Weak villains tend to kill stories. I find that good effective villains are sensitive to certain aspects or traits, in characters and themes, rather than being wholly irritated due to their lack of self-respect. I never watched the movie but I was never hyped about it, I lost hype way back in grade 8.

Though, I will mention it'd be cool to see Han Solo against after so long, and the newest Terminator film looks worthwhile. I'll but it when it's released.
