is one of the most laughably bad s-f movies ever. Right up there with "2001, A Space Odyssey".
A full three fourths of the screen time is taken up with various battles/fights. After a while it gets quite boring. There are HUGE plot flaws and plot lapses. How exactly is it that the scavenger can fly a spaceship? All she's done since her parents left her behind is eke out a bare living scavenging. So okay, maybe she'd learn a little bit about the technology, but that she can fly? Really? Plus, the ship hasn't been flown in YEARS and it starts right up? Plus, when did the Millennial Falcon become a huge freighter? And when it keeps on skimming the surface I'm to believe that there's NO damage of any significant sort? Can I sell you a bridge?
The idea that Han Solo and Princess Leia had a child threw me. Woah! I somehow didn't see that coming. But as I last watched episode 6 a good thirty years ago, maybe I've just forgotten a lot.
Their kid, by the way, looked absolutely nothing like either one of them, and I was honestly confused that Darth Vader was his grandfather, although someone else pointed out that since P. Leia was Luke Skywalker's sister, and since Luke's father was famously Darth Vader, I'd just forgotten the connection. But why should I believe the two of them had the same father? Okay, I'll give you that one.
Han Solo dies! Murdered by his own son. Oh, the perfidy of ungrateful offspring!
Am I the only person bothered by the relatively primitive technology of the starships?
Oh, and if you've never seen the fabulous Irish move "Grabbers" please go straight to Netlix and get the DVD. It's a delight of a movie, and the monsters on the Falcon are completely stolen from that movie!
