It comes across as a politicized drama, a far cry from the space opera we have grown to love and cherish. The Force Awakens marks a disturbing decline for the Star Wars series and fans of the original series may struggle with this new direction. His persona lacks the compelling allure and ruthless power that characterized Vader, leaving him as an antagonist unworthy of the Star Wars legacy. On the antagonistic front, we are presented with a villain, Kylo Ren, who fails to command the same dread and fascination as his predecessor, Darth Vader. These seasoned characters hold the heartstrings of many devoted fans and their callous disposal is a disservice to the loyalty of the Star Wars community. This sudden "mastery" weakens her character arc and dampens the credibility of the narrative.įurthermore, the film's decision to abruptly discard long-standing characters like Han Solo, arguably because of financial constraints on retaining Harrison Ford, is jarring and disappointing. In stark contrast to Luke Skywalker from the original series, who we witnessed transform from an unknowing farm boy to a Jedi Knight, Rey's character seems to have sidestepped this necessary journey of growth and development. Our protagonist, Rey, is unfortunately portrayed as a character who is inexplicably proficient in nearly every skill presented, with no clear justification or storyline explaining her talents. This may be a trend in current-day Hollywood, but it surely doesn't suit a universe as distinctive as Star Wars. It took on the colossal task of revitalizing the most cherished franchise in history and instead of channeling its original essence, it morphed into a spectacle with undertones of political discourse.
The much-anticipated film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, sadly falls short of its lofty ambitions, as it seems to have traded its beloved interstellar odyssey for blatant politicization and lackluster character development. A Disappointing Resurgence: Star Wars - The Force Awakens and then Dies.
