Not the way the Story goes.

Rating: 1/10 (18 April 2016)

I was an original fan of Star Wars from 1977 and every movie since made me say wow! I have always been excited for the next installment of this saga but after it was over The Force Awakens was very disappointing for those that enjoy a good story and forward looking sets and effects. The whole thing felt like a cheaply put together, rushed, formulaic mess. George Lucas innovated, JJ Abrams imitated. No space battles, plot holes by the dozens and 4 months later the questions about the story confusedly remain and not because of some nicely placed mystery but lazy writing and multiple rewrites. 15 minutes into this I knew it was off right after Han and Chewie showed up. Sorry but no.
