You know, instead of a scroll, perhaps this event - probably the most important thing that's happened in all three of these post Return of the Jedi films, could have been shown to us so we could grasp just how mindblowing it is. The first critical error the film makes is by telling us that a secret message has caused a stir in the galaxy: the Emperor is alive. I don't go to blockbusters to walk away saying, "Yeah, alright." SPOILER WARNING Obviously, everything after this will contain massive spoilers. I sat - well, slept, I'll be perfectly honest - through this too loud and too much installment and I have to tell you my most honest review: Yeah, alright. Don't tell me that the old films in the Star Wars saga didn't come out as often or perhaps we cared too much about them. Don't tell me I have to read the other books or watch the shows or do my research. Why does Finn have such an affinity for his friends? Why should we care a lick about Poe when he's proven to be too headstrong and willing to leave people behind, yet has nothing redeeming to make up for it? And Rey has every single skill of the Jedi near-instantly, almost a way too perfect character to be true. They're ciphers that we only know the barest of things about. Three movies in to the final part of what is being called the Skywalker Saga and I have to confess: worse than not knowing anything about these new characters - Poe Dameron, Finn and Rey - I honestly don't care about them.
