Bored. Had a hard time focusing on it. It's interesting that the authors of the script made a BIG push for diversity in this one. It's also interesting that the story's rebels jumped from disaster to disaster to disaster, losing one battle after another, and getting massively slaughtered in the process. And in the end there was no real victory for them. - Quit a contrast to the original Star Wars which made no or little nods toward diversity and ended up blowing up the Death Star and saving the galaxy! With it's largely racially homogeneous main characters. - I wonder if the producers were making social commentary with this story about modern American society? Versus the America of a couple of generations ago? That they think that the push for 'diversity' is pretty much a failure. It's possible. Writers have been know to do some funny things. - And that Rey character has GOT to go. "Girls can do anything!" - Yup *not*. Totally unrealistic, even in the world of scifi. Puleeeease! Expert sword fighting (the character has never, ever even seen one), flying unfamiliar spaceships in combat, beating up 200 lbs men (she weighs what? Maybe 110lbs?). Quit the symbol of estrogen excellence!
