Same old story - re-done

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2016)

Wife and I went to the theater 2 weeks after the premier. Paid $6ea, glad we did.
The story was the same as past stories. Only this time it is "politically correct" there is a "black" and a "gal" that are the "hero's". There were numerous chances in the story to deviate from past Star Wars. But Lucas stuck to the same old script. My wife fell asleep at about 45 min. I woke her up near the end. The sound and special effects were great, the only thing that saved the story. Come on LUCAS - you can do better???? I know your only interest is in the "bottom line" but how about a FRESH story. If you cannot come-up with one, I can. You had several openings in this script. I was disappointed, but hopefull of "Star Wars" of the future. I usually do not like change, but in this case it is needed.
