When JJ Abrams made The Force Awakens, he may have inadvertently ruined the Future of the entire Star Wars franchise. In this video analysis I will be looking in depth at character arcs and plot development across multiple scenes, and analyzing how the seemingly rash decisions JJ made will have lasting consequences across every subsequent story line told in future films.
When beginning a sequel trilogy, character arcs and backstory are even more important than in the original trilogy, because there are no mystery boxes. We know Luke, Han, and Leia; we know the Star Wars characters, we know the arcs they've already taken, and the way JJ approached the story in The Force Awakens created new backstory...that the audience never even saw. In this video let's explore in detail how the poor story choices JJ Abrams made ruined not just a single film, but all future plot points for the entire sequel trilogy.

These type of analyses takes weeks to write and even longer to edit. I've got so many ideas I could easily make videos full time. But I need time to work on them. Help me grow this channel so I can be a full time creator and I will deliver you videos worth your investment in me.
