Star Wars Force Awakens is a complete disappointment

5 Reasons why Star Wars Force Awakens is Bad
Kotaku

Lets Embrace our inner Jedi and admire the work that LucasArts have given us over the years, and the creation of fanatics. When Disney bought the rights, a lot of fans feared the worse for Star Wars which they were right to. Disney is a Renown Company who has made a lot of very fantastic movies, but Star Wars is in a league of its own, and The Force Awakens could had been a lot better. These are the top 5 problems I had with the movie.

1. Opening Credits

The opening credits in every star wars film always gave a lot of information telling the viewers what is happening currently and what happened from the time skip from one movie to the other. In Force Awakens, the Credits explains nothing from Return of the Jedi to now. Only that Leia is looking for Luke... can we get information from the huge time skip from Return of the Jedi to now or no....?

2. Characters

For years since Revenge of the Sith ended the trilogy, we have been craving for another Star Wars movie. We've read all the books after Return of the Jedi knowing the story for Episode 7 just seeing it live in action makes it all better. How can Disney throw away everything we know. In Force Awakens why isn't Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin introduce to the big screen?

Another thing about the characters which is the biggest flaw that Disney made is Kylo Ren. He is supposed to be a Dark Jedi (any jedi who uses the dark side of the force). Also, if he's an apprentice to a sith lord, why is Ren's eyes brown?

Natural eyes are not the way of the dark side, even if he was conflicted between the dark and light. We have seen Anakin battle between the two, but once he helped kill a fellow jedi, he had those yellow orange eyes. Could we have seen the transformation when he killed his own father, now that would be something to be excited for, but he killed his own father like it was nothing while still trying to battle between the light and dark. No! major plot hole


3. Luke

By this point and time, Luke is supposed to be a Grand Master Jedi just like Yoda, not as old though but powerful.. Are you telling me that he could not stop his nephew from destroying the new Jedi order he was building? I get that it was his nephew and all, but stop one little boy or let your new Jedi order get destroyed and he let his order be destroyed instead. Disney spends all this money and only thing we get from Luke is an erie look. Really?!

4. Rey

As known, she is going to be the next "Anakin" with the force maybe even more powerful...(GREAT!) all for it... But the mistake that was shown was how fast she was able to use and hone the force without training. For a person who has no clue about the force and what it is; How is she able to use Jedi mind tricks so early. Not even Luke could do jedi mind tricks when he was in training with Ben, when learning the ways of the force. Not even Anakin again could control all of his powers at first, he had a great master, you telling me she just did it like that with ease....

5. Story

This is the biggest problem out of them all. The story is that there is no story. This movie doesn't make the viewer ecstatic for the next movie. What is almost been clear to me that this movie is almost a duplicate of New Hope. Except for in New Hope there had been intensive background information and it would actually go somewhere with the story. Force Awakens as of right now what is the main point that the director is trying to achieve with three films? I guess finding a map looking for Luke is all the story your going to get from this movie. Star Wars is known for its mature, deep, dark nature and the vibe that this movie gave is too commercial and trying to be too funny. Character Finn is always cracking jokes, and it's over board. I felt like I watched a movie with a bunch of goofy characters....

Star Wars The Force Awakens was a disappointment and let down to a lot of fans I am not saying that there are not people out there who did like it. I'm glad that some fans did like the movie, but the way it's been set up already we have another prequel in the works again. Just with different titles, comedy, and really fast character progression. Can't believe that a side story movie is about to be better than the Main Story!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
