It's not really grumbling over it per se. It's more.. I think if they'd blazed a completely original story it would have made it better than simply a "good but.." sort of film. I

Just saw it as my first Imax experience. It was that... hm. I'm conflicted. It has that "good but.." vibe. As a general movie it was good. On most things a lot better paced, acted and looking than all of the prequels. However, as has been mentioned now, it also basically re-runs a lot of A New Hope with little twists. But the one major problem I have with it.. is the music. Sure, the blended in pieces from the original trilogy are nice call to emotions and events, but there is not one single stand out piece of recognisable music that is The Force Awakens own. At least the prequels did have that nailed, even if you didn't like the music, you had bits that were distinctly recognisable and tied to each film.

I like how people have stopped using spoilers when mentioning direct points of the film rather than general impressions...

Since we're diverting from Star Wars slightly...

Well, to be fair, he's more of a supporting character in the Mad Max remake.

And for the other consideration, just where would Star Wars be without John Williams? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jWb9Z2k20M

From a certain point of view?

Is this in bad taste?

It's all about the tshirt timing?

Not something new but...
