Which leads someone in the Resistance (formerly known as “The Rebel Alliance”) to call this monstrosity: Starkiller Base. That’s right, the baddies, the so-called “First Order,” have built ANOTHER DEATH STAR! Except this one is really, really, really, really, really, really, really big. Basically, our heroes have to blow up the Death Star. The problem is that the essential plot takes every single plot point of old Star Wars movies and reuses them.
And the look and feel of the movie matches the original trilogy, leaving the cold, digital mode of the prequels in the dust. The old ones (Leia, Han, Chewie), are used in compelling and interesting ways. Which is too bad because there are many great things about the movie that get buried under this avalanche of unoriginality. Abrams at the helm, The Force Awakens is a nostalgia-laden callback that recycles nearly every single Star Wars plot device and trope. The new Star Wars movie is everything I hoped and feared it would be.
