I really don't understand how a movie that was meant to advance a story line gets a free pass from so many people with the rehashed story lines. There's a difference between a nod to the original trilogy and we can't think of anything else, so let's just repeat it.

 

The Empire searching again for a droid that contains valuable info?

Two ultimate death weapons that both have a single point failure that require x-wing fighters to attack that one point, but only after our band of heroes disable the shields?

 

Seriously?

 

I thought the movie lacked the quiet time that develops characters, like Luke and Ben in the cave in IV or Luke and Yoda in V.

 

Until I read a few pages here, I was pretty disappointed/sad about the Ren and Rey battle. That she was able to kick his ass like that really turned me off given how much emphasis Jedi training had in all the other movies. I know have hope this is possibly justified. Thanks for giving me new hope.

 

It wasn't terrible. The dialog was decent and the cinematography was excellent. Saw it in 3D. Would like to see it 2D again.

 

The plot being how one family feud screws over an entire galaxy :D

Sorry more of a Star trek fan, all though come to think of it Abrams seems to be getting away with rehashing story lines a lot.

A funny read regarding some of the inconsistencies in Stars War: The Force Awakens, As It Did In The First Movie   ;)

As with most things, the truth lies somewhere in between.  The first article is overly harsh (to even flat-out incorrect) for many of the reasons that the second one points out.  However, the second one does seem to let them off the hook a little too easily on some points.  The explanations sometimes feel like a musician trying to tell you why you should like a song for its technical merits.

Episode 8's release has been delayed. It will now debut on December 15th, 2017. It was originally scheduled to come out in May of 2017. Rumor is out the script had a few changes made due to breakout performances and returning heroes in Episode 7. Supposedly a few yet to be introduced characters will now have smaller roles. Gotta add I watched Episode 7 for the 3rd time today. Enjoyed it just as much as my 1st 2 viewings.

I might be more excited for this than Force Awakens. Expanded universe! New characters! Merchandising!

I'm pretty pumped for this one. I was pretty lukewarm on The Force Awakens. I've got higher hopes for Rogue One.

I liked Force Awakens a lot. The feel of it was right for the "main story" films.

 

I think these side films are going to have a slightly different feel. I'm really excited for that. Different composer scoring them too.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
