Movies in the very least should have an original storyline. Otherwise, they are just television shows with no plots.
This is a major science fiction film. In the least, the storyline should've been original, fresh, new and exciting. Not a mish mash of stolen storylines from the previous film.
There is no excuse for this failure other than corporate greed. They created a film that was a guaranteed HIT because it was created with the exact same ingredients and format as the prior hit.
That does not constitute what film is all about. Star Wars IV was a real film. Original and unique. VII failed because it lacked the most basic elements of a film, which is a unique storyline.
You can whip out light sabres and explode ships to dazzle the eye, but without a story, it's all visual masturbation. Star Wars VII should've been about more than just explosions and hiding the plans in a droid.
