If you want to sell merchandise for a target of 8 to 12 year old children, in my opinion, they too deserve a better story and dialogue. Not in a million years would I have imagined that well loved franchises and films in general could stoop so low for the purpose of profit.
Star Wars episode (? I dunno, who cares now! right?) won't probably be the end of the franchise but it sure hell deserves to be, boy it was an awful movie.
First, even if you want to make this franchise appeal more to 8 year olds, since they buy the merchandise, you don't have to make the story that stupid and plain. You don't have to make the dialogue that simple and predictable (worse than a baby TV series) and for a budget that big, the least you can do is make it a little more creative and engaging (I promise you, if you do Hollywood, even 8 year olds would love it and feel challenged and hooked, thus they will buy more) It is a shame that such potential would be wasted.
Secondly, nothing is good in this movie. The score is annoying, the plot is surpassed and a remake of a million other movie plots (including recent star wars), the effects and design was average and the acting was hideous. Even the fight scenes were ridiculous and bad, they could have at least hired a good (Korean, Chinese, American martial arts and swords fights coordinator) I believe that even in the most commercial and capitalist country in the world, to hype something then completely disappoint is getting pretty boring...
I long for the good old days of cinema when it was a craft rather than a soul-less business.
Congratulations Hollywood, this movie shall go into the dust bin of history. What a loss...
