While some critics noted the film’s narrative similarities to A New Hope , most agreed that this "rhyming" was a necessary step to stabilize the franchise. It set the stage for the subsequent films and Disney+ series, revitalizing the brand into the powerhouse it is today.
For anyone revisiting the saga or introducing it to a child for the first time, Episode VII remains the perfect on-ramp. It respects the past while whispering a promise of the future. And for one winter in 2015, that was more than enough.
Then there’s Kylo Ren (Adam Driver)—the film’s secret weapon. A Vader wannabe who is actually weaker because he’s torn apart by guilt and light. When he pounds his blaster wound to fuel his rage, or admits “I’m being torn apart,” he becomes more tragic than any Sith lord. His patricide of Han Solo isn’t a moment of triumph—it’s a failure, and he knows it.
