A missed opportunity.

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2017)

Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a missed opportunity and another example of how Hollywood has run out of ideas and stories to tell. Out of all of the stories that you can tell in the star wars universe they chose to tell a story we have already seen. Episodes 4,5,and 6 tell of the epic, galactic struggle of the rebels to overcome the evil empire. They succeed. They make you feel like good has won. There was a good arc and that story is told. The Force Awakens chooses to negate everything that happened in the original trilogy and tell the story of the resistance overcoming the first order. We have seen this. This is nothing new. In a universe full of interesting aliens, cultures, and worlds we are going to get movies full of everything that we have seen already.
