It felt like a re-boot even though it was not. I agree with this assessment but there were so many more questions now then answers from a story perspective. They could have added 40 mins in runtime to further explain everything thing like "What the hell really happened since ROTJ. How did they find Luke’s old saber? " I guess this how Disney make more money. Fin is the new Han, and Rey is the new Luke but there characters traits are now switched. From a story perspective it lacked originality. I might be onboard for helping u with this but I would wait to see how this plays out in the future movies.

I plan to make minor tweaks in the vfx and sound wise especially when it comes to Luke’s light saber… Mabey some space shots restore the way the falcons engine originally looked like flying in space from the original trilogy.

But over all this movie clearly is a lot better than the pre-Quils but, I’m still trying to get over the way they killed off Han Solo, he was one of my favorite boy hood characters. I am exhausted and heart broken. I think Ren is only a half baked Sith Lord. No Sith eyes? They mentioned he needed more training. I think the Fans wanted to see him wounded by chewie.

Luke did look good in the end. Still wishing he had some dialogue at the end. But out of the 6 official movies I would rank this at #3 beating ROTJ at #4.
