I really miss George Luca's. For all the flak the original trilogy gets. They were still good movies that FELT like Star Wars. The Force Awakens was a very good movie, but lacked the Star Wars magic. I do have faith that Episode VIII and IX will be redeeming of this mess.
I want to go and watch it again before I really make a strong opinion on it. |
I am not here to look for a fight over this movie. I am not here to feed myself on upseting people about anything. In the end, it's only a movie. And yet... You don't know how happy I am not to be alone in this. I agree with what you said. There is no STAR WARS magic in the movie. It's just another movie with the toys from the SW Universe... It makes me said. But we have what we have and no one will take it from us. We have the passion, the truth about what STAR WARS really is. This deep Universe with the force, the Sith, the Jedi.... With the feeling that this movie is not only blasters and lightsabers. It's the meaning of every prolonged moment and thought that can lighten up our imagination. The feeling that there is focus on what we believe in, and that we can see in between the scenes, receiving the true nature of the STAR WARS essence and every little drop of the force that it gives us... It's true, all of it. ;) I love STAR WARS and I won't be fooled by the look of the new Episode.

Can you describe in more details what is not Star Wars about The Force Awakens? I can't recall a moment where I said to myself this doesn't have a Star Wars feel.

Can't speak for him but, for me, it just lacked imagination. I won't speak on the plot or the (admittedly) awesome characters;
New worlds that seemed to have their own ecosystem, creative alien designs, cool new ships,new gadgets and technology. That's what is missing. Heart.
Aside from the "been there, done that" feel, I could buy that it was the Star Wars universe. I've enjoyed things like the Clone Wars cartoon and TV show as well as the video games but they always felt like they weren't canon, even if they featured the same characters. The movies are the big deal. This felt like a long, live action episode of a Star Wars TV show.
The old characters and the Millenium Falcon did much to make it seem "Star Warsy" but it didn't ever feel like these were alien worlds or civilizations with their own lore. Just different places that might as well be earth.
