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.

Sorry to say, but this was the worst of all the Star Wars movies.
9 January 2016 | by (USA) – See all my reviews

What else can I say, FabledGentleman said it best and there is nothing else to add. This movie was the biggest letdown and I am sad that I spent money to be disappointed. The story was terrible with little to no thought devoted to the script. The story line was the same old story, revived from episode 4. No indication as to what happened over the last 30 years. No background info on the characters or who they are. The whole movie seemed to be rushed to the big screen for the sole purpose of making money. I'm sorry, but this is the Star Wars story, it deserves to be one of the best story lines brought to the big screen. Anyone who is connected to this story, needs to bring they "A" game. I really hope the next attempt, encompasses all the Star Wars has become.
