The Verdict
Thumbs Up: Highly Recommended
Star Wars fans, especially anyone who wants the feel of the original trilogy back.
- J.J. Abrams brings the franchise back to its glory, and it's way better than the prequels. It looks amazing, and it blends the old characters with great new ones like Finn.
- Some characters' storylines aren't fleshed out, which leaves more questions than answers. It's predictable at times, and the villain is weak.

I’m trying out something different with this review. I have two YouTube videos instead of my typical writing. The first video is for you non-spoiler folks. The second video spoils everything that I felt like talking about during my time with the camera. Enjoy!

DC's Hypothetical Corner
Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.
Give the new characters more story time so their arcs feel fleshed out, and make the villain a lot stronger, because a movie is only as good as its villain.
