Trying to keep a well ended story going.

Rating: 5/10 (14 February 2017)

After letting it sit in my mind for a while, The Force Awakens seems to get worse and worse. I enjoyed the movie the first time, but the more I think of the story, characters, and plot devices, the more bad it becomes. In my opinion, Return of the Jedi wrapped up the Star Wars saga perfectly, and to be brutally honest, The Force Awakens feels like just another way for Disney to make money by bringing the legendary franchise back. The new antagonists don't seems to have any meaningful motivation and follow the original villains WAY to closely, with a pure evil character overseeing the whole plan, and a younger villain struggling between the light and dark side. And just like before, there is a resistance fighting against a bigger empire trying to take over the galaxy. For the most part the movie felt like an unoriginal cash grab trying to start another saga from the ashes of an old franchise.
