Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) by Hollybush — 02 Feb 2016

JJ did it. Easily the best Star Wars since Empire, and it might even match that movie for emotional punch. Feels fresh and new, mainly due to injection of brilliant new protagonists Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren.

The only scene I personally found disappointing was the Rathtars on board Han's freighter. This scene had the look of a generic fantasy/sci-fi pic with its use of CGI. The Scottish guy was a bit unnecessary as well, would have prefered they used more of the guys from The Raid.

Hope they develop Maz Kanata a bit more in the sequels, I found her to be quite charming and unique.
