Top 10 Biggest Problems With Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Some similarities: the protagonist is a young Force-sensitive human from a desert planet who finds a droid that has important plans. She then finds an old man who helps her give the plans to a rebellion that fights against an empire that has created a superweapon capable of destroying planets. The female protagonist then gets captured by an evil Force user who is under the control of an even more evil Force user. The other protagonist then rescues her, and the old man gets killed by the evil Force user. The rebels then find a way to destroy the superweapon with X-wings, but the evil Force user survives.
URRG! THIS makes me mad more than anything else in this movie! All throughout the Star Wars movies and many books, it states that you DO need years and years of training! Why the hell did Abrams and all of the other makers of this awesome movie mess this well-known fact up? I have no clue as to why they did it!
As much as I was disappointed in this, I'll try to defend it as best I can. Remember, Ren had just been shot in the side by Chewie's crossbow, a weapon previously proven to send Stormtroopers flying through the air. Not Ren. He took it like a champ. He then fights Finn, yes, an ex-janitor without any lightsaber experience, but he wasn't trying to kill him. I thought Ren's lax fighting style made it obvious he was only toying with Finn rather than actually trying to dice him up. This is made more obvious when Finn actually lands a hit on Ren, who then immediately disarms Finn and slices his back.
A combination of grief after killing his father earlier, being taken by surprise when Rey uses the Force, and bleeding from Chewie's crossbow shot all account for the fact he lost to Rey.
The CGI was actually very good, but the terrible amount of CGI bothered us.
Hey! Luke Skywalker's back! But he's not showing up in the trailers! So, that means they've got a big surprise for him, right?
Oh? He's only there for thirty seconds at the end and doesn't say a single word? Why is his name second on the credit billing before all of the actual main actors?
I mean, come on, people, it's just Rey climbing stairs for 2 minutes and holding out a lightsaber. She doesn't even question if it's Luke... This part bothered me.
When they said Mark Hamill would be making a return, I didn't think they meant ten seconds at the end, looking barely recognizable.
Spoiler Alert: This was the most tragic scene, along with the destruction of Hosnian Prime by the First Order, in Star Wars history, making it the saddest movie of 2015, and in a while.
Harrison Ford didn't want to be in Star Wars anymore. Disney was not originally going to kill him off. But it was very sad nonetheless.
If Kylo Ren were real, I'd do to him what he did to Han Solo.
Are you kidding? Everyone is whining because it's too similar to A New Hope, but think about it - this would have made him more like Vader because Vader didn't remove his mask until Episode VI.
Kylo was a ferocious villain, but the moment he took off that mask, I lost respect for him. He looked more like a gawky nerd with a big nose and a geeky voice.
I laughed so hard when I saw his face. He should have remained masked until the third movie. It kind of ruined him, honestly.
The Newcomers
Same thing. It's a mashup of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
Star Wars tried to add a new character, Snoke, but they decided to make a Gollum/Voldemort wannabe that's like Emperor Palpatine on steroids. That's who he is.
Snoke was just a boring leader.
I know the First Order is supposed to be the bad guys in this movie, but this scene brought too many Nazi allusions.
Where did the First Order come from? Where did Kylo Ren come from? Didn't the Jedi come back from the dead?
Honestly, by Star Wars standards, it was very underwhelming. Even the prequels got that right. Still, Force Awakens is a great movie.
He was just a loser in this movie.
Abrams lied to everyone about this movie using less CGI than the prequels. The prequels actually had less than this movie.
It was expected to be the greatest movie of all time. Fans bundled up, but when it came out, people hated it.
