This movie is one with the force, the force is with this movie.

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2016)

I'll try to keep it short. This is the most mature Star Wars movie ever made. They say it is depressive. Of course it is. It is the story of a rebellion. They say it is morally tangled. Of course it is. It is the story of a revolution. Do you think any of the past revolutions in the history that somehow helped you to live in a considerably freer and more just world today were totally innocent in their course? Were they worth it? You tell me that. Why do you think the extremist (!) (or militant?) rebel is named as Saw 'Gerrera'? Think whose name it resembles.
I think the biggest dilemma a revolutionist faces is to have to betray his own belief at some point. He acts probably because of ideals such as freedom, justice, equality, etc. There are raw emotions such as trust, compassion and love at the basement of these ideals. And at one point, in order to reach his ultimate goal, he realizes he has to lie, act as somebody else or even maybe kill someone who doesn't really deserve it. An oppressor might be never facing with such dilemmas because he wouldn't care about others as much as he cares about himself. But for a freedom fighter such dilemmas might exist. And how many movies do you know that bring this paradox up: the only way to serve your belief is to betray it.
This movie is a pretty mature and well acted, well directed, well edited one. Beside this general stance of the movie, i must say (spoiler this might be), despite i never liked Vader even as a Sith Lord (as someone into the lore, i must say -arguably- there were true Sith such as 'Bane' in the past), his short scene at the end was epic. There i felt the terror (of course partially) poor soldiers felt when he boarded the ship. That is how you describe the horror of a Sith, the horror of darkness.
A very good movie. I hope we'll see more of this kind of mature Star Wars movies in the future. Please make some Old Republic movies too.
