I just realized that the Force Awakens essentially “retconned” (does that mean written out of canon?) the PT. The PT made clear that Vader was destined to destroy the Sith based on some ancient prophecy, and I’m assuming that Kylo Ren and that fish guy in the hologram are Sith - or at least the equivalent. So basically all that nonsense about the space prophecy and Vader being the savior of the universe was irrelevant.
The Nightsisters in TCW aren’t Sith and neither is Kylo Ren and his master. Abrams mentioned that Kylo Ren isn’t a Sith. Therefore, the prophecy is irrelevant to TFA. It never said “destroy the dark side.”
If Snoke is Plagueis
I’d rather Snoke be a giant midichlorian than he be Plagueis.
Anyway, I really cared about Finn, Han’s death was an excellent scene, Rey vs. Kylo was an excellent climax, and I love that Luke wears a gold and white version of his ROTJ robes. However, TFA feels extremely disconnected from the OT and doesn’t feel like it takes place in the Star Wars universe. The lighting-pacing-music combination that gives Star Wars its identity isn’t there. The music is performed in a way that makes it fail to convey the emotions that the music conveyed in the OT. The Starkiller Base weapon is introduced out of nowhere and feels like it went out of its way to rehash the OT.
