*spoilers*
I've read nearly every Star Wars Book, every book report throughout my school years was on Star Wars, I played the games, I always had to wear my Star Wars sweats to pre-school, I have hundreds of action figures, a dozen T-shirts, I recognize every species by name, read the comics, I'm only 20, so I can't remember a time in my life without Star Wars. I wanted to like the film, but was extremely reserved about it, for it stands for the destruction of the EU. Like I said, I wanted to like it, and gave it a chance... I feel like Disney spit on me again, and my Knowledge of the galaxy far far away! They took one of the most important things in my life, and replaced it with this trash! The story is a complete copy of episode 4! Oh lets start with a droid that gets away from a fire fight with a secret, same thing happened at the beginning of Ep. 4. Then the droid finds a lonely girl, R2 found a lonely boy (he was, all his friends left Tatooine years before him), and both took place on a desert planet. Both Rey and Luke were reluctant to realize their destinies, for Luke it was cleared up with the death of his aunt and uncle, for Rey it's later, but very much the same. They then take that droid to where it needs to go, Rey and Luke both get a lightsaber from a teacher, sure Rey's isn't as in depth, but Luke's was't much longer. The main villain is a powerful force wielder that struggles with his destiny, and serves a master that's only using him, sound familiar? He's no Vader though, dang what a child he is. Oh, and the new Death Star, call it Starkiller Base, all you want, but it's a death star, in the movie they even make it a point to say there's a difference, but the only difference is it destroys a system, completely unoriginal! Oh and don't forget the "resistance." That's not at all like the rebellion, nope, not one bit. Not to mention all the things in the movie that don't Make sense! BB-8 had a huge chunk of the galaxy in that map, and they couldn't figure out where a hole sector in the mid rim is? Why would Han, and Leia call tier child Ben? Ben wasn't a master or teacher to either of them! In the EU (the true Star Wars), Luke names his son Ben, that makes sense. Leia is a General out of nowhere, and I quote she says "I went back to doing what I do best." What the Heck? She was never part of the military, or had anything to do with it, she was raised to be a politician! That's even Cannon info! Then Why would Han run away? If he learned anything from the first three movies, it was his friends needed him, and he needed them! Just grrrrr! How stupid is Jar Jar Abrams! The misplaced references to the original trilogy, didn't make sense, the characters didn't see the movies, but it was written as if they did. Why was it our world modern? With the phrases, and words they use, the only connection between our world, and the Star Wars universe is that it's written here. Everything was also too just so happened. All the events just line up, Han and Chewie, just happened to have the Falcon stolen, and out of a huge Galaxy, just happened to be there, and that was the hole movie. You can argue the other movies to be the same, but not the entire movies. Like when R2 and 3po where picked up by Jawas, and sold to the Lars, jawas are scavengers, and pick up everything, and they sell to moister farmers, it's cause to effect, not just so happens. To top it all off, the misplaced comedy. All it was missing was Adam Sandler, then it really would have been a bad comedy. It just wasn't Star Wars, like the Rogue One pic, most of the movie didn't even give a Star Wars feel. Think what Lucas did, he gave us recognizable species, and droids to complement the new ones after the first movie. TFA gave a lot of new in that category, but nothing to tether it into Star Wars. For me Star Wars is dead, and for that, a part of me is dead, with the EU, the true Star Wars, so much better than episode 7, I feel completely alienated, and lonely... and all because I love Star Wars... Sorry to rant, but I'm not going to lie I need to let it out. 20 years is a good run I guess, but I don't know what it's like to not have Star Wars.
