Not true at all, but merely a bunch of BS to justify what is an absurd, illogic and outright stupid repetition of previous storylines. Thousands of fans around the world, game modders, novel writers, every Star Trek (SciFi for the intelligent) fan or ST screenwriter, most readers of Science Fiction novels could easily have produced something more interesting. With emperor Palpatine and his lap dog Vader gone, dozens of different factions within the Empire would try to grab power, some worlds would try to become independent, others would try to get revenge or their piece of the cake. The same on the rebels' side, which, no longer united by a common enemy, might have to deal with several different points of view about the best course of action to re-establish a democratic senate, punish war criminals, and so on.

Another robot with another map falling on another desert planet where another rookie with no idea of being carrier of the force catches it? Another father-son drama between light and darkness? Blowing up the death star for the third time (does the Empire never learn?)? Then all the smaller nonsense: Han Solo's son being faster than light and stopping a laser beam in the opening scene, after years and decades of teaching and training from both the good and the evil side, as all Jedi and Sith can only develop their abilities with such dedication. Nevertheless, some greenhorn chick who just fooled her first stormtrooper out of desperation can close her eyes, meditate in the middle of a fight and then kick his butt? The only believable detail in the movie is that Leia's son wears a helmet like his grandfather -- because he obviously inherited his mother's «beauty». And these are just the most obvious discrepancies between logic and story, there are dozens more.

By choosing J.J. Abrams as not only the director, but also the screenwriter of Crapisode VII, the film was doomed from the start. The guy makes nice popcorn distractions for braindead teenagers with attention dificiency syndrome caused by the instant gratification obsession of the trivial crapworks age, films that accompany McDonalds toys «free with your fries», but no decent movies for people with an IQ over 75, ever. Abrams and Lucas had 30 years since The Return of the Jedi, plus 10 years to heed the feedback from the community after Episode I-III -- and this is what they come up with? They deserve to be condemned to Sumo wrestle Jabba the Hut and subsequently serve as his pillow for such an easily avoidable, utter failure and disappointment. The lame statement above won't fly even five yards, let alone to a galaxy far, war away.

Of course they made truckloads of money, any Star Wars movie will -- which is exactly why they can allow and afford to produce something worthy of the expectations and developments over the last thirty years, something better than a stupid garbage in comparison to which the Lord of the Rings series appears like an intellectual masterpiece for scholars.
