It felt like a true Star Wars movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2015)

Some people think it was a "remake" of the earlier episodes and I completely understand that. However, to me it was important that this FEEL like a Star Wars movie, unlike episodes 1-3, this 100% does. There were many details that a Star Wars fan would pick up on that I appreciated. I think it was a perfect introduction to a new storyline. Are there similarities in the storyline to the originals? Yes, but I think that's completely OK for the first movie in what will most certainly be the first of a series. So let's be kinder, those who gave it a 1 would have probably given it a 1 in any circumstance. It's completely unfair to give it anything below an 8. Also, I love love loved that there wasn't excessive CG throughout every scene.
