The force had a big nap

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2015)

In 1977 I was 17, I attended a Cinema in Sydney Australia and watched the new release of "Star Wars (1977)" now with the added words "A new Hope" ... Already a fan of Sci Fi I found the movie to be excellent fun.
On the 17th Of December 2015 I went to the Cinema here in Sydney and watched what I consider to be a revamp of that 1977 movie.
This new offering was fun and visually exciting.
The thing I found myself thinking during the movie were, couldn't we have a new plot with our new actors?
Yes, as I said, good fun, and I did enjoy it a lot, though the fact that I had thoughts that I'm sure many others had and will express here means that for all the $ spent of the movie a completely original plot was not worthy of such spending, and this meant I was noticing those things instead of being absorbed in the movie, so my hope to find 2hrs 15min of total escape from my mundane life did not happen.
So, we have a promise of more movies, this plot line can no longer be used again ... I hope, surely the next movie will not be based on "The Empire Strikes Back"!
