Star Wars for A New Generation

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2016)

I am a big Star Wars fan and I like almost everything about it, from the movies to the toys. Most people disliked the prequels from last decade feeling that Lucas was losing his touch. I liked Episode I just fine. Now Episode VII is a different story. Lucas made a mistake in selling his franchise to Disney. This story was OK but not great. The villain most of all feels weak and I cannot understand his intentions for turning to the Dark Side. It seems to me that Lucas and Disney have turned to the Dark Side. This Star Wars is for a different generation than my own but why did they forget about mine? We are the loyal fans from the good old days when things were done right. Now our favorite characters are forced to take a back seat while younger nobodies take the helm. Perhaps Abrams is the wrong choice for this type of production. I hope Disney changes writing and directing staff in a more correct direction for the remaining two sequels.
