An article on CBR states that the opening scene in the movie could have been Luke's hand clutching his lightsaber, falling from orbit to Jakku. Readers commented that this made no sense, as the hand should really have fallen down on Bespin, not Jakku, unless it managed to escape the planet's gravity and travel who knows how many light years on its own to a different star system. To which other readers replied "D-uh noob SW is fantacy anything goez go read some science book you nerd". Which makes me really, really want to have my own starkiller base. But seriously, what a stupid idea. If it does make dramatic sense for Rey to get Luke's original sabre, I am quite glad to explain its continued presence with a "it's a long story" non-explanation. Alternatively, if we must dot every i and cross every t, I'd be much happier with the sabre being caught in some air vent at the end of Empire (same as happened to Luke a few minutes later), and then recovered by a maintenance guy who sold it on E-bay. "Authentic Jedi knight lightsaber! Collector's item!" Big old magnet at the bottom of the vent, ordered by Lando when he saw that they were paying 20000 credits per month on screws that were accidentally dropped during maintenance. (I'm great at no-prizes) |

Finally got around to watching this, and I thought it was largely awful, though not as bad as Batman v Superman or Suicide Squad.
In keeping with the rest of the Star Wars films, the script was dreadful as was a lot of the acting/directing (I can only assume that the actors were actually told to hold deep meaningful stares at each other for ridiculously long shots, as they occurred several times through the film with different characters, eg Han/son, Leieiieia/Han, and worst of all Rey/Luke. As for the plot, such as it was, it consisted largely of stitching together elements from previous iterations of the films - coincidence after coincidence and another stupid Death Star thing with another amazingly helpful single point of failure and another forcefield that the rebels happen to know how to fix by another landing of a special team?
Anything positive? Well, on the bright side, it had no Ewoks, or JarJar

Yeah, I was underwhelmed by it and haven't had the urge to watch it again since it came out in theaters. The villains were so unconvincing and sorta lame, even compared to the prequel villains. I actually think the prequels had excellent villains for the most part, particularly Sidious, Dooku and Maul.
