Unoriginal

Rating: 4/10 (16 January 2016)

This movie is totally unoriginal and stole the plot from the original Episode IV. I did think it was fun to watch and I'm glad I saw it. But I don't think it will be memorable. And I think a huge opportunity was missed to move to the next chapter. The plot contained:

A droid with a message to deliver. - A girl in trouble who needs to be rescued. - A girl who has the force strong in her, but doesn't know it (Luke Skywalker)? - A young hotshot pilot (Han Solo)? - A bar scene with a bunch of rough, strange characters. - An entire village killed. - Someone's home planet blown up. - A new Darth Vader. - A light saber fight to the death on a catwalk.

Need I go on? I did enjoy seeing where Princess Leila, Han Solo, and Chewbacca are now. And I loved the final scene and have higher hopes for the next installment. I think there is an original plot in the making if Luke Skywalker can come back as his older, wiser self and save the Galaxy, which is where I think the movie should have been at the halfway mark.
