Goofs

After the Millennium Falcon escapes from Jaaku, a First Order officer is reporting to Kylo Ren that they were unable to acquire the droid from Jaaku. The establishing shot has the officer standing about 6 feet away from Kylo Ren. While Kylo Ren destroys the terminal, the First Order officer appears to be remaining stationary. After continuing his report and upon mentioning a girl, Kylo Ren begins to force pull the officer from across the room. In the next shot, it has the officer 12 to 15 feet away rather than the original 6. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Lor San Tekka: This will begin to make things right. I've traveled too far and seen too much to ignore the despair in the galaxy. Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force.
Poe Dameron: Well, because of you, now we have a chance. The General's been after this for a long time.
Lor San Tekka: Oh, the General? To me, she is royalty.
Poe Dameron: Well, she certainly is that.

Strange case of deja vu!
30 January 2016 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

Unoriginal plot, characters, planets, space fighters, weapons, script ........ This movie makes the prequels look stunningly good.

You have already seen this movie before - in 1977! The original was enjoyable, this unfortunately is a predictable yawner. I actually fell asleep a various points because I knew that I wouldn't miss much.

It's tragic that this reboot has been wasted when both Rey and Finn pull off relatively good performances even if we have seen their characters before.

This is targeted at youth under 20. A re-introduction to Star Wars that will sadden and disappoint most die-hard fans.

If your over 20 years of age save your money and go see something else.

PS - Jurassic World suffers the same fate!
