Insulting, Lazy and Poor.

Rating: 2/10 (2 January 2016)

HK-47 with not approve.
Insulting: This film is a complete remake of Episode IV and a bit of V with extra battle scenes crammed in resulting in a hasty and hashed story.
The public has been treated like fools and the Star Wars franchise has been shamefully exploited in the name of financial gain. The quote from George Lucas now seems all too pointed 'I worked very hard to make them completely different, with different planets, with different spaceships – you know, to make it new'. Something The Force Awaken fails to achieve.
Lazy: The Force Awakens replicates every previous theme from Episode IV and some from V. One can only assume the decision was on purpose and will be defended under the guise of artistic continuity; however it comes across as lazy.
Episode IV vs VII Repeat Themes in Chronological Order: - Origin planets are both desert worlds. - R2-D2 cute, eccentric droid given stolen plans / BB-8 cute, eccentric droid given stolen plans - Luke Skywalker good with scavenging technology / Rey good with scavenging and technology - Luke Skywalker restless on home world but loyal to family / Rey restless on home world but loyal to family. - Obi-One retired father figure and guide / Han Solo, retired father figure and guide. - Escapes from desert planet on the Millennium Falcon. - Death Star / Bigger Death Star - Planet blowing up scenes - Escapes from Death Star / Escapes from Bigger Death Star - Han Solo not wanting to initially get involved / Finn not wanting to initially get involved - Grand Moff-Vader power struggle / General Hux-Kylo Ren power struggle - Mysterious Emperor on holoprojector / Mysterious Overlord on holoprojector - Torture droid scenes. - Fighter trench scenes - Vader struggles with light side / Kylo Ren struggles with light side - Obi-One killed by Vader in front of Luke/ Han Solo killed by Kylo Ren in front of Ray
You can go on but their is a word limit.
Conclusion: Poor Will boycott the next one.
