I went to a very good cinema to watch this, and paid good money to watch it. Was I disappointed? Oh boy...
I don't want to spoil too much, and I'll try my best, so let's start:
First and foremost, Star Wars is a franchise that has a huge fanbase of people who know A LOT about it, and I believe that this should not be disrespected.
This said, it is very well known that stormtroopers are (at least from episodes IV onwards) the worst combatants in the galaxy. The could shoot at you at point blank and still miss. Their average survival time against a Jedi knight was of mere seconds.
And the Disney decides that a stormtropper can singlehandedly hold off a jedi knight, who was also trained by Luke Skywalker (yeah, THE Luke Skywalker, not my grandpa in slippers!) for a solid three minutes AND LIVE TO TELL THE TALE???
Ah, and there's also the new heroine, who until five minutes earlier didn't even know the Force existed, and manages to achieve the impossible. Obviously every jedi who had existed before trained relentlessly for decades for no obvious reason, anyone who is blessed by the Force can instantly be a successful jedi master!
I'm sorry, but this is outrageous. Shame, because otherwise the movie would have been good.
