receive to ourStar Warscountdown . WithThe Rise of Skywalkerreleasing after this month , we ’ve been await back at the very beneficial and worst thing from every jaunt for the dealership so far . The prequels have been cover , spin - offsRogue OneandSolo : A Star Wars Storyas well , and the original trilogy has also been rated and slated .
It ’s now time for the first installment of the subsequence trilogy , 2015’sThe Force Awakens . Here are the better and worst thing about the movie .
Best: Star Wars Returned
allow ’s start with an easy one . One of the best things aboutThe Force Awakensis that , after a 10 - year hiatus , Star Warswas back with a bang .
Nobody had ever require another trilogy boast Harrison Ford , Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill as Han Solo , Leia Organa , and Luke Skywalker . Particularly after the prequels had been released to so much criticism . But , with George Lucas no longer at the helm , Disneydecided to go swelled . And the movie was a vast box agency reach showing that fans still very much cared about their pet fictitious character from many years ago .
Worst: It’s A Rehash
WhileThe Force Awakensdid well both at the box agency and among critic , one of the big complaints citizenry have about the movie is how it seemed to copy turgid parts ofA New Hope .
A future Jedi knight who grows up in a abrasive , desert world ? Check . A big spoilt villain wearing all calamitous ? stop . An older , wiser character playing wise man to somebody immature ? insure . The motion picture ends with the bad guys ' headquarters getting blown to pieces ? Check . You get our gist . While we loved the film , we ca n’t help but feel it was a bit of a rehash of a pic released 38 years previously .
Best: Meeting Rey, Finn and Poe
When remember about a newStar Warstrilogy , it would have been very prosperous to have Luke Skywalker , Leia Organa and Han Solo team up to go on one last adventure . But Disney did n’t do that , taking the dauntless steps to introduce novel persona such as Rey , Finn and Poe Dameron or else .
And it paid off , with the triplet easily among the expert thing . Rey is interesting , Finn ’s sudden variety from Stormtrooper to Resistance member is enchant , while Poe is just as loveable a rogue as Han . The film certainly ended with all three characters in challenging position .
Worst: Rey Is Overpowered
Do n’t get us amiss , we were captivated at the conclusion to introduce young eccentric . And , while we admit Daisy Ridley ’s Rey in that , we conceive that Disney may have made her too over - brawny for the first entry of a trilogy .
She ’s spunky at the start of the movie but offers no reading that she ’ll be capable to be a formidable Jedi Knight , particularly when she goes run by in fear after Luke Skywalker ’s former lightsaber had called to her . For Rey to then queer Kylo Ren ’s attempts to read her mind , beat the villain in a lightsaber armed combat and sensationally rescue Finn with a little help from Chewbacca all seems way too basal .
Best: Han Solo
Harrison Ford had always insist that he require Han Solo to be down off - only for George Lucas to take a firm stand that would n’t be fall out . However , it seems his fate was in when Disney completed its takeover with Han perishing during the closing stages of the pic .
But , prior to his end , Ford was purple . Han was very much his old self , have his magical spell , getting into trouble and leading any engagement that came his way . Our only ailment is that we did n’t get to see more of Solo , particularly cave in the interesting moral force of his relationship with his son , Kylo Ren , who killed him on Starkiller Base .
Worst: The Most Predictable Twist
Before the handout ofThe Force Awakens , the net was awash with surmise surrounding the true identity of Kylo Ren . Some believe perhaps he was Luke Skywalker , despite the Brobdingnagian altitude difference between the two characters . Others thought he was maybe Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine , despite appear to see the duet both die at the last ofReturn of the Jedi .
But it was always specify to be the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa . Always . That was the path the old expanded universe had gone down and Adam Driver is actually a pretty effective selection to play the role . We all knew this , of trend , which made the revelation uninteresting and fall a fiddling flat .
Best: Supreme Leader Snoke
Prior to the blockbuster ’s release , fans had been told that Andy Serkis would be playing a inscrutable character name Supreme Leader Snoke . Other than that , nothing had been told about the only somebody , except that he ’d be a villain and , judging by his title , leader of the First Order .
But when we got our first glimpse of Snoke , it sent the rumor mill into overdrive . Who was he ? Where did he come in from ? Where did he get his hideous and distinctive scars ? It certainly had people talking for a practiced two years and it was a crying shame that he was kill off - without audience set out any of the answers they crave - in The Last Jedi .
Worst: Leia Snubs Chewbacca
You expect her to go straight to Chewbacca , cognise how faithful Han was with the Wookie , but instead , she walk straight past him to Rey rather . This is inexcusable - and another reason why Daisy Ridley ’s character is so divisive . Some believe too much of the practiced stuff is being given to the former Jakku scavenger and this seems to back that up .
Best: The Lightsaber Showdown
When you believe ofStar warfare , you ca n’t help but reckon of lightsabers at the same metre . And , luckily , The Force Awakenstreats us to a majestic showdown involving Kylo Ren , Rey , and the noted Jedi weapons .
The scrap scene , as well as being entertaining to watch , is also beautiful . Kylo and Rey battle with runniness and grace in stark contrast to the rapid showdowns that take place during George Lucas ' controversial prequel trilogy . Their red and blue lightsabers complement the snowy background to ne plus ultra and it ends with the shock of Rey defeating Kylo , slicing up his face moderately ill in the process .
Worst: The One Minute Of Luke Skywalker
Okay , this really is our biggest charge , especially with Luke Skywalker now being dead forThe Rise of Skywalker . While we get Disney care to build up up exhilaration , whose anserine mind was it to have Mark Hamill pop out up only at the VERY END ofThe Force Awakens ?
That conclusion would have exploit if Luke had done all sorts of disturbed things in the subsequence but , for the most part , he ’s a miserable honest-to-goodness hermit . Hamill is Star Wars ' post horse boy and really deserved more than just a individual , non - speaking theatrical role at the end of the blockbuster . This decisiveness has also been Disney ’s ruin because , as stated above , nothing really turn out to be deserving the wait .
