Good but not great.

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2015)

Basically a remake of a New Hope. Some great acting from some quality actors. New light saber seems a bit daft and impractical. Great locations chosen for filming and I liked the original characters and actors being a big part of it.
I think I'm mainly disappointed because it's not really a sequel, there is so much of the film that you have seen before. Same Death Star ( but bigger) same Darth Vader type character, even a Yoda style 1000 year old character. The 3d is good but not as necessary to the film as say Avatar, it doesn't make you feel a part of the film.
I have to say that at least Disney have kept to the Star Wars ethos and have not changed the style that much, which was something I feared.
