Did Lucas really write this episode?

Rating: 3/10 (23 January 2016)

After watching this much hyped movie, I was left wondering - did George Lucas really write this episode as #7 of 9 30 years ago? It felt more like a remake of the first film, A New Hope. Or was it left that way when JJ took creative license? Whichever it was, I was sorely disappointed in this movie and will be the first of seven that I will not watch again. It lacked everything. From the time I was young I watched the first 3 lots of times. I heard about the 9 episodes that would someday all be made into movies and couldn't wait for each. All Star Wars fans will likely still want to watch for themselves, just set your sights a little lower so you won't be so disappointed.
