"George Lucas was right with his 2005 claim (later reversed) that there wouldn’t be an Episode VII because there was no more story to tell. Filmmakers can bring back Han, Luke, and Leia but that doesn’t mean there’s a compelling narrative for them."

"For this post-Lucas trilogy, the stakes seem smaller, the villains less intimidating, and the story too familiar. Every new movie gives us additional planets but, with the last two films, the far, far away galaxy seems to be shrinking."

i was struck by how it all feels so SMALL. in the original trilogy the galaxy felt vast, packed full of strange sights and creatures

in the new movies, it somehow doesn't feel like much exists aside from the characters we follow

it really loses something in that
