I liked all the bits with Han Solo.

Very derivative of Episode IV though. Kinda wish they did more of their own thing. Finn was probably the most original idea on offer.

this movie was a right the ship movie

Played it kinda safe to regain faith in the IP, but still managed to do its own thing to an extent in establishing the new leads and such.

My personal theory is you have to know the staff knew they were making something incredibly derivative, and it was entirely intentional. I mean, you have a huge plot McGuffin hidden in a droid. So, going from that basis, TFA is meant to be an Episode IV for a new generation.

They're moneymaking ventures not entries into the artistic hall of fame or whatever.

Phantom Menace was boring and relied on a child actor which is always a crapshoot

it's only yearly if you factor in all the dumb spinoff films, and while I'm sure those will make bank I don't really care about a young Han Solo or bober fitt film.

I'd also like to say that everyone in the First Order looks way too young to be holding the ranks they've allegedly been assigned.

When Darth Vader Jr. was talking to that one guy I thought he was just some random low-level officer, not acting general and pen pals with Emperor Hologram Giant.

Supposedly people are expecting the writer for the next one to do some fresh things based on his previous work. Personally I've got no issue with the new one being basically A New Hope again. It hit the right blend of nostalgia and feeling updated. I look forward to the next one.

the first order being a bunch of kids makes sense, all the senior officers got owned by the rebellion. it's a bunch of younger people trying to pick up the torch.

The First Order is emo teens who think the empire is soooooo cooooooool, and gently caress the rebels for taking them down, with a authoritative voice from an old guy in a giant hologram.

I liked the new movie a lot but introducing the ~new death star~ like a minute before the rebels start trying to blow it up kinda cheapened the whole thing imo. made for some really neat imagery once poo poo started exploding tho

First Order sure knows how to build poo poo, though. Gotta give them that.
