Fair point, here's another well stated negative take: http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-star-wars-the-force-awakens-stinks-20151226-column.html (Atlas Shrugged free)

That part was a joke. If John Ford can put Claudette Colbert on the 18th Century American frontier and have her makeup never get even a slight smudge, who am I to ever suggest something similar could be flaw.

This is the best discussion of I have seen in the flaws in the new film: http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/what-went-wrong-with-star-wars-the-force-awakens/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Firewire%20-%20HORIZON%2012-22-15%20FINAL&utm_term=Firewire (I liked Adam Driver...

Maybe he was just doing that money thump thing from Wolf of Wall Street.

Chewbacca is an ageless costume. Why kill him?

I think it would have made more sense if they had just disabled the new Death Star thing. Unlike the prior episodes where one shot could hit the reactor, I don't recall an explanation of why the entire planet would blow up.

Because the people at Disney aren't creative enough to conceive an independent origin for her. Personally, I thought she might be another child of Leia and Han, but it seems very unlikely that she's not a Skywalker.

Maybe they'll eject his casket into a new planet being created and he'll be reborn. (or did that happen in a different sci fi franchise?)

Here are some other questions I had: 1. How did the First Order arise from the dancing ewoks at the end of Episode VI. 2. Who is Snoke? Does he have any relationship to the bad characters in the prior films? (personally, I'm hoping that he is really Jar Jar...

The inclusion of Max von Sydow in this film is something of a mystery. He's the most notable first time Star Wars actor in the film and his part in Episode VII is almost nil. I wonder why. I don't recall actually seeing him die (although it is assumed he does). I wonder if he shows up in the...

Overall, this was an ok film, but it was mainly one action sequence after another. Personally, I liked Phantom Menace and Clone Wars better. The brightest spot in the film is Adam Driver. He really has some presence on film. The other new actors don't seem to offer much more than thousands...

The 3D shot of the First Order Destroyer was the best 3D effect in the film. The rest of the 3D was negligible. Not really sure what the justification for it is other than a higher ticket price.
