… ExpandĪn amateurish cash grab attempt which works well due to the franchised fan base, i honestly don't know where to begin. As bad as the clone wars and prequels were to many I still find it more authentically Star Wars than what I just witnessed. The X-wing pilots looks like the teenagers from a Disney XD sitcom. The general is that ginger twenty something boy form Frank.

With the exception of the returning cast everyone in the movie is under the age of 30. And if you have seen all the movies in the theatres going back to the original you might know where I'm coming from. Again, the lack of hardware and alien species made this a very un-Star Wars movie for me. JJ's Star Wars sand box looks identical to his Star Trek sandbox. While it's fun to hate on the prequels at least they gave us visually diverse and unusual worlds. Why destroy the continuity of the Star Wars galaxy just to connect family plot points? All of the planets visited after the first were entirely normal in Earth terms. The resistance general arrives at the battle in a ship no larger than a Winnebago. Instead we have some miniature sized X-wings that the pilot jumps into without a ladder. What happened to the A-wings B-wings and the giant Mon Cal type cruisers. The desert world seems far less diversified than Tatooine, the rebel/resistance base looks too much like an old NIKE or WW2 base. But more about the 'small' feel of it all. Instead you have JJ's re-imagined Disney financed sand box that is less of a merging of science and fantasy leaning more toward good versus bad. Gone are the variety of creatures we once were familiar with like Trandoshens, Nautilins, Devenorians or Rodians. Gone are the big galactic fleets with many different makes and models. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Accordingly, while no movie is perfect, it gets a 10 from me. Episode VII is certainly a great indicator for things to come, leaving you craving more with its phenomenal ending and, even still, it provides a triumphant, hugely satisfying adventure on its own, realising my hopes as a fan, and surpassing them. And here we are, launched back into two and a half hours of sheer brilliance, with all of the magic, wit and fun which made the original trilogy what it was. How I’ve missed the magic of this galaxy, far, far away.

The Force Awakens is a sequel worth waiting 30 years for (and it is, make no mistake, the best Star Wars movie since at least 1983), with a stellar cast (Ridley and Driver shine, but every new and old face alike command the screen and so obviously want to be there, and that brings the whole thing to life) incredible direction and smart writing and stunning aliens, visuals, and great characters- all of which are so fresh and unique with the perfect blend of old and new it injects life into this universe sometimes just by aesthetic, with Chewie, Han and C390 still bringing the laugh, while new additions like BB-8 cement themselves as worthy, the quirky droid destined to be a fan favourite and loved as only two droids ever have been. But for everything that didn’t quite sit right- of which there aren’t many- there were a plethora of other things which Abrams and his crew perfectly hit the target with. All due respect and admiration to George Lucas for creating the Star Wars universe, but JJ Abrams truly seems to understand what made the originals so damn good better than Lucas himself- intrigue. In short, The Force Awakens is an enormous triumph, a return to the ways of the original trilogy, and, specifically, what made them so loved, and so good. All “This will begin to make things right.” So speaks Max Von Sydow in the first words of The Force Awakens and how appropriate that is. “This will begin to make things right.” So speaks Max Von Sydow in the first words of The Force Awakens and how appropriate that is.
