For me, I like the idea that I can just accept the original three movies as they are, and then see this as kind of another continuation that I don't have to accept. This definitely throws a wrench in that fairy tale, and people are either gonna love that or hate it. It's a happy ending, the people who should be together are together, the people who should be dead are dead, the people who should be alive are alive, and they're all happy. (An image of the final scene in Return of the Jedi is shown)ĭoug (vo): The ending, though, is mostly fairy tale. The original Star Wars trilogy combined a lot of different elements of myth and fairy tales and folklore and philosophy and religion, all these different things. ![]() And while it's not exactly a shocker, it is still kind of a risky move. And I'll keep this spoiler-free, but if you know how A New Hope goes, you know there's a death in it. For example, Han Solo and Princess Leia are no longer together. Details that some fans might find upsetting, other fans find actually kind of intriguing and good at continuing the story. While what actually happens in the movie is a little too familiar, the setup is actually kind of different. Wow, didn't even need to change the names on that one.ĭoug (vo): So, yeah, as everyone has said before, this is pretty much a retread of New Hope, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't exactly a big fan of that. The race is on to get the droid to the Rebellion, while also getting help from Han Solo and Chewie. They come across a poor young person who doesn't know her family and, coincidentally, happens to be really strong with the Force, and she's being hunted by a dark, masked entity. An escaped pilot named Poe and an ex-Stormtrooper named Finn escape the First Order and get to, what a shock, a desert planet. You'll find there's a lot of repeating in this, though, as a droid has some information about the First Order that could be incredibly helpful. They didn't even change the Stormtrooper clothes. The funny thing about it is, it's probably the Star Wars movie that plays it the most safe, yet somehow also still takes a few risks.ĭoug (vo): The story is years later, the Empire are gone, but the First Order is now in charge, a.well, let's just say it.another Empire. Force Awakens is the first Star Wars movie that pretty much had no input from George Lucas after he sold Star Wars to Disney. (The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from Star Wars: The Force Awakens)ĭoug (vo): I know I already reviewed The Force Awakens as a Sibling Rivalry for Disneycember, but a few years have gone by, and even more Star Wars movies have come out, so I think it makes sense to look back and see if it still holds up. ![]()
