A good discussion on the movie:

[ahrensNW]

I feel like there are too many people out there expecting too much from this new saga arc. It had to revamp at least some of episode 4 and 5, otherwise it would have felt out of place in the Star Wars saga. And cmon guys, can anyone say they were bored watching it?

Well-made, but totally derivative of the original movie. Unimaginative, and felt like a reboot.

The point, you got it.

I enjoyed it, I don't read any fan fiction or follow any side stories...I just enjoyed it. Lots of action, great acting and the goose bumps from seeing the falcon!!!!

[Dozyproductions]

they did but canon has been altered.

Was very disappointed... Thats all I feel like typing.


But I thought Han and Leia had twins..?

But, the writing, dialogue, acting, and character development are terrible. The editing and the pacing don't feel right.

So pretty much what everyone else thought was great? Lol

Finally saw it, I thought it was great. I've always been a big star wars fan since watching the originals as a kid on VHS. I think they did a great job setting up the movie so that anyone who is a fan can relate to the old movies and see how tings have unfolded in the last 30 years. But it also gave enough back story for any who hasn't seen a star wars movie to understand what's going on and still enjoy it. That's just something I feel they had to do, and why this movie felt very similar to episode IV.

I do think they left a lot of room for character development for the next movie too. Rey has to be Luke's daughter or in some way tied into a powerful Jedi. I mean she could also be Obi-Wan's granddaughter, but that's a long shot. I'm excited to see what she'll be like after getting trained by Luke and learning the ways of the Jedi. I feel Luke has learned more and will be a better teacher since his search for the first Jedi temple. I think we will be seeing and getting more information about the Jedi order and its origins as Luke teaches Rey. Same thing for dark side, I feel we will learn more about it than we already know while snoke finishes Kylo Ren's training. Kylo is the opposite of the Jedi code from what we have seen of his character so far, rash outbursts, ignorant, emotional, ect. Now that he is currently all banged up from his fight with Rey I think he'll be more darth vadorish needing some sort of automated limb, or suit. I mean he was in a great deal of pain after Chewie shot him and I think because he was hurt it's the only reason Rey was able to win against him.

I do think that Snoke is Darth Plagueis in some way shape or form. It only makes sense, Sith lords always come in twos according to Yoda. It also makes sense to why using Kylo Ren, he was trained by Luke, Snoke obviously wouldn't be able to teach him much initially since he is weak right now or so it appears. But now that Kylo knows the basics he can start learning the more advanced techniques of the force that Snoke is able to show him.

That's just what I feel is going to happen in the next movie... Man I'm excited for another now!!

I'm giving it a 7/10.

I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but I'm a big science fiction geek. Really, the only reason I kind of like Star Wars is seeing all the different settings/locations, the droids, the force, and the special effects are good. But, the writing, dialogue, acting, and character development are terrible. The editing and the pacing don't feel right.

I think the Force Awakens tried cramming in too much action and completely ruined the pacing. There wasn't enough character development and the settings were never really established. There were a couple good moments, but I left the theater unsatisfied.

Finally saw it, +1 on Rey being lukes daughter.

I think everyone is being pretty damn harsh on it, expecting it to be better then the original. Plus the main difference I noticed was just the filming style, its a lot different then the original.

My only gripe is I felt the story felt too similar to EP 4/5 mix, and it almost felt as if it was one stage the whole time, just following around the same 2 characters. Verses the old films had that nice switching between different characters throughout the film to get a nice overview on the plot from all sides.
