Finally a missing link for grownups

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2017)

Just a few statements here: This is the first episode of Star Wars I truly enjoyed watching. Putting aside usual nonsense like sound in space and laser fire visibility and sounding, this is the first intelligently written and directed Star Wars episode. Now all of the story (I mean the whole saga) makes sense and is beautifully connected. The cast is very good, and so are their performances (which I cannot say for the rest of the movies). This is also the first Star Wars movie with almost nothing stolen from already told stories like John Carter and others. No J.J. Abrams ("damn the story! just shoot and kill and destroy! and do it fast!") here and no G. Lucas ("I love fairy tales!"). Almost perfect. Too bad this was not filmed before (by the same team). And - yes: the ending of the movie is fantastic. Recommended with all my (old) heart.
