- STAR WARS (has a better plot than TFA but falls short in just about every other way)
I really like TFA but I’m gonna disagree there.
It’s one of those unpopular opinion things that I can’t adequately explain but every time I watched TFA I enjoyed it way more than I have ever enjoyed STAR WARS. Maybe it’s because it’s new but I’ve seen the film 4 times and it’s embrace has only tightened.
At least STAR WARS stands on its own, while TFA needs its two sequels to know if the story is relevant or not. And the new characters are not as interesting (Rey has nothing to accomplish - everything is easy for her, with “Full Force Unlocked” plot holes… -; Finn is just a “traitor”; Poe is on screen 10 minutes…). The mythology is also a missed point (the soul of an “excalibur” light saber ? Seriously ?!?). Nevertheless I enjoy TFA, but it’s very far to be a movie as strong as the original STAR WARS.
