Star Wars Reawakens

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2016)

This is how you reawaken the Force. This is what happens when you take out Jar Jar Abrams out of the production: you get a better picture. Whenever I used to go to see a Star Wars movie, I felt like a kid again. I loved going with my parents to the movies and having a good time. I miss those good old days from the 1980's and 90's. Upon seeing Episode VII I felt disappointment. Something didn't click right. The problem was Abrams directing in the wrong direction and writing for the wrong generation audience and Disney not caring for Lucas' true vision of the saga.
Here we have a fresh new start. Disney went totally rogue! I love the multi ethnic cast. Episode IV's prologue is retold in this film. Simple formula and it works. At first I was against the idea. I felt an in-between chapter was not necessary fearing it would cheapen A New Hope. Clearly I was wrong and as a Star Wars fan I am satisfied with the story. I felt like a kid again at the conclusion of this movie! I hope Disney does not make it a habit, though. May the Force Be With You Carrie Fisher. RIP. You will be missed.
