Star Wars episode 7. Good on the outside... nothing on the inside.
My main problem with The Force Awakens is that it feels like a product to me. A product that was made by a (good) marketing team. A product as a result of the huge backlash against the prequels.
They clearly analyzed all the things that people did like about the originals and didn't like about the prequels. They gathered all the data and put it into a spreadsheet. Yes that's how they write movies these days.. in excel
I'm sorry but behind that good Star Wars sauce I can't find the story the movie makers wanted to tell, and not even the story of episode IV (heroes journey) is present in this movie which they were aiming for..?
Disney is already analyzing what movie-goers liked and didn't like about ep7 in focus groups. What will be the result: a perfect Star Wars formula for a product that pleases the audience and reviewers, but also a movie without any heart that's totally forget-able. A movie that will never dare to take risks and as a result it will never impact and inspire like the originals did.
