Warning: Major spoilers below!
Star Wars: The Force Awakens delivers the goods, there’s no doubt about that. It’s a smart, powerful, ridiculously fun and surprisingly funny crowdpleaser, and it’s faithful to the original trilogy in tone, style, and story — almost to a fault. It also helps erase that bad taste that’s lingered in our mouths since the disappointing second trilogy in which, as one writer aptly put it, George Lucas tried “to force the Force.”
But as fans we’ve also got to get a little nitpicky and recognize The Force Awakens’s shortcomings in new hopes that maybe, just maybe, the powers that be will take our gripes into account for Episode VIII. Here’s a breakdown of what J.J. Abrams and company nailed (and even improved upon from the first saga), and what they misfired on.
Its overall fidelity to the originals.
Tons of neat nods to the originals, plus slick reveals.
Kylo Ren is the perfect Vader-esque villain.
BB-8 lives up to the hype.
The stormtroopers can actually aim!
