A friend and I saw the new "Star Wars - The Force Awakens" movie today (20 December 2015). I was disappointed with the movie. My friend was too. It seemed to me to just be a second class remake of the very first Star Wars movie to come out. Two people meet in the desert, join up with a smuggler and his Wookie, meet the princess/general, and lead a resistance rebellion against a death star in order to save the universe. Father and son fight. Been there, saw that . . . in the first Star Wars movie! Didn't really need to see it again. Sure they added a few characters and had a wonderful family reunion the next generation, but the basic plot was still the old same-o, same-o. In addition, the acting was pretty wooden, and the spirituality written into the original movie as the "Force" was sadly lacking. Moving a few things and reading a few thoughts hardly imparts the original wisdom of the Jedi and the "Force" that was inherent in the original movie.
