A typical film in the saga, overall.

I said it off the cuff, and I wasn't wrong. It's a mediocre film if you try to look at it OBJECTIVELY, but it's perfect to watch with friends in a movie theater and munch on popcorn. I feel the same way about all the other films in the franchise; they might seem like great movies when you're 12, but not when you're older. I initially wanted to avoid major spoilers, but since you're all having a discussion here, I'll throw in a thesis. Finally, before the spoilers, I can only say to Revan that he's better off not watching this film. Oh yeah, and Sesham:

I can tell the plot of any typical film in the saga in two or three sentences. The only question left after the seventh episode is: what, exactly, were the authors trying to say?

I had the same question after each film, except for the final ones in the trilogy, that is, the third and sixth episodes. And if you have any questions about the plot, feel free to ask, and I'll explain. SPOILERS As a fencer, I can't help but appreciate the extremely high practicality of the main villain's sword, I'm talking about the lightsaber guard. And although at first, I personally thought it was a bad decision from a purely visual design point of view, by the end, I was okay with it. The only major deviation from canon that I didn't like was that lightsabers no longer kill or sever limbs; now they can only scratch, just like my rapiers))))) Excellent replacement for R2-D2, I agree with Ment. It's a pity that Ford won't be around anymore; he's just incredibly charismatic, and he alone could have saved the entire trilogy for me, but now I'm not so sure.

I wanted to shout to the whole theater, "I'm not impressed."

But I, on the contrary, REALLY LIKED it. The reason is simple: under the mask was just an ordinary person. A slightly awkward, not at all scary boy. After all, that's why masks were worn – to create the impression that you are a much more dangerous and powerful being than ordinary mortals. Plus, Ple-Sen correctly understood the idea.

Well, the moment with "anyone can fence with lightsabers" ruined the impression as much as possible after such a good start.

Well, look, our black guy beat the guy like a child; it's clear that he was just messing around with him. As for Rey, she clearly knows how to fight; of course, she easily defeated two guys like kittens, and they had the element of surprise + she has significant potential in the Force. If we draw an analogy with ordinary fencing, if a person who has simply amazing natural talent + who is proficient in other martial arts fights for the first time against an experienced, but generally mediocre fencer, then I think it's quite possible to expect that the first will win with a far from zero probability.
