Episode VII (spoilers)

[Drich]

I saw this movie a couple of days ago...
Nice entertainment value...
Nice SFX...
The story... well... too reminiscent of star wars, the original movie, which was later called "episode IV":
- Droid lost in desert planet holding some important piece of information
- Droid found by person who has some connection with the Force, but is unaware of it.
- Person and droid go off-planet to join the rebellion
- Big bad guys have a super-weapon which "is no moon".
- Newly found friend of main person get killed by main antagonist. (What is it with all the gaping chasms in Star Wars? I wouldn't be caught dead on that flimsy walkway - not even a measly safety handrail...)
- Rebels manage to destroy said weapon with a handful of X-wings. (seriously, I was expecting such a planet-sized battle station to have more than 10 tie fighters, when they are ALL requested to engage the enemy).


Apart from that, I really liked the actress playing Rey.
And the passion and dedication in Finn were spot on!


On the other hand... how the heck does that hologram guy get to be in charge of the galactic empire's remnants?! And, just out of luck, he gets to "seduce" the new impressionable kid, who's probably the second most powerful Force user in the Galaxy?
"always two there are, a master and an apprentice", I know... but these seem to have showed up right after the previous two got busted! Come one! Some consistency! Where do they get so many dark Force experts from?!

Right after??? 30+ years has gone by or hasn't Leigha's and luke's haggard appearance given you a good idea of the time that has passed?
