Where oh where is the continuity that Lucas desperately strove for???????

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2016)

It was a good movie but my problem is that it completely destroys any attempt at continuity that Lucas had always striven for in what is, after all, his baby. The makers of this movie seem to have no idea of the hundreds of novels written by a host of authors in the Star Wars Universe that they have purposely or maliciously disregarded in this film. Somebody had asked if Hahn and Leia had children. If they had read the novels written by other authors i would have shouted from the rooftops 'YOU BETCHA'. For one thing, people, Chewbacca had already died in a novel written some years back. The only character that they seem to have taken from a recent novel was Luke's son Ben and even he has changed in this movie. Oh and one other thing. There was somebody who chose to embrace the Dark Side and that was one of Han and Leia's kids. I will leave it to you, dear reader, to find out who that someone is. Read the novels in the Star Wars Universe and you will see what i mean when i say the producers of this movies motto was most probably 'Continuity be d--. By all means create new characters. After all other authors who wrote novels in the Star Wars Universe can and did create new characters but without making a complete mockery of the continuity that Lucas strove for in everything written outside of the main movies.
