To paraphrase Marx, "all film history repeats, first as tragedy, and then as farce." The same tired plot, the same bland characters, all forced to push nostalgia buttons so Abrams doesn't have to expend any effort in making something original. But that's what hacks do. What should have been a triumphant culmination of nearly a half-century of sci-fi history instead becomes the sloppy wet fart at the end of a huge meal. Go watch the original three and Rogue One, and forget the others exist.
