This surely has been a great disturbance in the force. George Lucas sold to Disney for the money, although 4 bil does seem a bit low. They sold Pixar for 7 bil. He wanted the Star Wars legacy and his companies to live on. Too bad he didn't have a family of heirs to keep running the company and who has as much magic as he did. But for Star Wars and his companies to keep profiting big time in the long run, part of that would be to keep making good movies. Outside of the core Star Wars Trilogy, and Indiana Jones, the rest of the movies are garbage; sorry Lucas. You know that too.
His companies, Lucasfilm and ILM are the masters of computer animation and special effects but he took all that potential and turned Episodes I-III to CGI on crack. The core trilogy was better without all that crazy CGI. I watched Episode VII right after the Trilogy. The Trilogy was CLASSIC. None of the other Star Wars films will ever compare. Episode VII had more of an X-Men type of feel: good, but forgettable. I love X-Men btw. I was excited to know that Lawrence Kasdan wrote Episode VII, since he also wrote Episode V and VI; well I agree w/ a lot of folks that Episode VII is Episode IV rehashed lol; THANKS TO Disney!! When I was watching Episode VII, I was like WTF? important data stored in a droid again? another Death Star destruction? another Tattooine? Girl doesn't have family, oh the list goes on, and I do agree w/ a lot of the critics out there. Well, we let George write the prequel, look what happened there... They had fckn 500 books and all they basically did was pump out Episode IV all over again, hahaha. Like someone else said, Darth Vader and Yoda must be rolling over in their graves. Episode VII catered to the typical movie audience, it definitely did not cater to the Star Wars Universe. I agree w/ a lot of the other critics that nothing made Star Wars sense in Episode VII. As someone else said a lot of "coincidences" happened. Han and Chewie just happened to come across the Millennium Falcon, Rey just happens to know how to pilot and fix the Falcon that Han has been piloting for 30 years. Rey, without any force training defeats a Sith, (who looks like Keanu Reeves mashed w/ Marilyn Manson btw), knows how to use Jedi Mind tricks, ETC, ETC. JJ Abrams didn't give a shet about the Star Wars universe, he only catered to movie audiences. Oh gawd, and the way they killed Han Solo, ohmahgawd, that was a Travesty!! They dumped one of the most iconic stars of Star Wars down the shoot like he was junkyard parts!! But as someone else has said, I'm sure Harrison Ford was happy with that since he wanted his character to die back in Episode V. In addition, the overt displays of Natzi Fascist overtones was overdone and became cheesy.
As I've said before, and I'll say it again, NOTHING in other Star Wars films will ever compare to the Original Trilogy. The story, the plot, the character development, the lines, the iconic figures, the motivation, the musical score, and on top of all that, it made Star Wars sense. The original trilogy is truly a classic. I never write reviews, but I was compelled to write this one. I'll go back to reading the Star Wars books and watching the Trilogy over and over again, hahaha.
Oh, and btw, I'm pretty damn sure Rey is Luke's daughter; I don't think she is Kylo Ren's sister. Even though I know the books said that Han and Leia had twins. May the Force be with future Star Wars movies, hahaha.
