Star Wars: The Force Compareth

Aka JJ Abrams "Inspiration"
My comparison of A New Hope and The Force Awakens

              As I previously mentioned last week the new Star Wars movie takes a lot of inspirations from the original. This has caused some derision from fans as well as some dividing opinions. Since I've seen the new one more than I'd like to admit on here (sorry wallet) I thought I'd do a comparison between the two. I won't be going into too much detail since some similarities were intentional fan service but I will do a general outline and well as a comparison diagram. Hope this helps the fighting stop and we can just concentrate on the fact that it was a beautiful movie to watch (thanks to 3-d light-sabers). Everything in italics and bold is similar.

Open space, ship coming down	Open space, ship coming down
Worried droid is worried	Desert world with rebels on it
Evil villain introduced	Gives info to droid, stays behind

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review

To celebrate the Blue-Ray release I present my

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review:

          The Force Awakens is the first new Star Wars release in 10 years. It an almost perfect juxtaposition of the old and the new. It may be that one piece that we were missing in order for us to forget the errors and misstepas of the prequels. While treading carefully on sacred ground the subject material is treated with an almost reverence, steeped in nostalgia (sometimes even a bit too much) and is used to introduce us to a new generation of Star Wars. Most notably it perfectly captures the spirit of the original trilogy, most markedly A New Hope, evoking a sense of discovery through unforeseen encounters. Thanks to much secrecy on the part of Disney the entire experience is layered with a child-like sense of discovery and trepidation, awakening awe in even the most cynical of fans.
