- PapaHamzehApril 2, 2025This movie really showed the world the direction Disney was going to be taking their franchises, and I dont think enough of us really paid attention to the signs. They had the world by the balls, and we couldn't help it. The slop they made for the pings was pretty damned good slop. Rehashed story? Boring. Familiar bloodlines for villains, playing on the literal ashes of those villains? Snooze. Science fiction that manages to be so glaringly stupid that even people who are here for space wizards are left thinking "really"? MERCHANDISING, MERCHANDISING, MERCHANDISING...but again, and even harder. I give it three stars because, at least up till this point, Rey and Finn and Kylo are enough of a tease that we don't really know better. They are decent characters in their own right, and really could have set the franchise up for success, had they been given the opportunities to do so with a good script and cohesive direction from Disney execs and not JJ Abrams and the resulting mess. Instead, Disney was beginning to realize what 'nostalgia' could do for the profits, and the doom was upon us.
- Eric BakkeOctober 9, 2024The "Force Awakens" perfectly captures the spirit of the original Star Wars trilogy with a mix of innovation and familiarity, while introducing compelling new characters and cutting edge special effects.
