Star Wars - May the Force be lucrative....

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2015)

It's a shame that the writers were not afforded creativity over the storyline. Unfortunately movies seem to be written for absolute certainty of a financial return. There was a great opportunity to develop a new plot and explore the creative scope of the galaxy given our past knowledge and relationships with the previous characters. I watched this movie with great aspirations but sadly I could predict every scene and felt like I was watching the movie for the second time! It was great to see the old characters, just a shame to see them emerced in the same old plot.... we know how it unfolds!!! Here's hoping the next two installments are not replicated from Empire and Jedi, however I am sure creative originality will be scolded and substituted for "the formula"...
May the force be lucrative.....
