The carbon-based knock-off of Star Wars that sucked

Warning: Spoilers
I saw a review for this movie by my favorite critic and took a look at the movie myself, and I am not pleased with the results. I'm not even sure why this movie has a 6.7 rating. Above all things, every single character is bland and uninteresting, even the villain, the staple that supports the whole movie. Also, it completely rips off the much more interesting Star Wars trilogy. I was surprised the villain didn't turn out to be the main character's father. The basic plot is this bland main hero finds this magical sword and is told by this old ghost guy to take down the evil overlord. Sound familiar? He then runs into a Han Solo wannabe and flies off in the "Millennium Falcon" (with a built-in C-3PO), and eventually runs into a princess, who, surprisingly, isn't his long-lost sister (or maybe she is and it was never established, just like everything else about any character). There's also this sub-plot about this whiny kid being blind, but that's barely any more interesting than the "much more interesting" actual plot. And there's also this moment where the Han Solo wannabe grabs a female robot for no reason and tinkers with her on the ship to, apparently, make her love him. That just made him creepy, and he must have been really lonely if he wanted to tap some robot-ass. About the animation, I'd give it a .5 on the score for being half-decent, but there's no option for that. I can't even give it a 0, which it deserves. Some of the scenes seem unfinished or uninteresting. Overall, I am not pleased with this even existing, and for Rilean Pictures, if you're still trying to make a live-action remake of this movie, they already did that. It's called "Star Wars"!!!
