I was so hyped for this film when is was announced and leaked back in 2014, It had been nearly 10 years since the last film and the whole community wanted more to kind of remove the sour taste left from the prequels. Once the film was released we were all amazed, the film felt like the originals and the story and characters were amazing, JJ Abrams did a great job at recreating the original star wars feeling once you watched the original trilogy. However after maybe the second watching you started to release how similar it was to the original star wars film, A New Hope the film effectively had the same plot and story line and was kind of just a rehash of the original. In comparison to the prequels however it was amazing and we could not wait till the next film in the Disney trilogy.
