Has the original Star Wars feel

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2016)

First I am an original star wars fan,I was there in 1977 in the theaters when Star Wars opened.I saw the film countless times and bought all the toys.It funny to me people old enough to be my kids are so passionate about these films but for a person like me who saw it from the start,the last 4 films have fallen short of capturing that feeling I got back in 1977 but this film brought it back.
The main thing that went away in the more recent star wars film is the grittiness and edginess of the original 3.Lucas wanted to show off his new tech and made the sequels too glossy and wrote them for an audience that he thought was 12 years old(he keeps referring to them as kiddie movies and wrote them that way)
This movie has that grittiness that edge the original moves had,it does no over explain everything (again the Lucas style).It knows the audience is fully aware of the characters and know every aspect of them.It was made for a star wars savvy audience
Its a harsh movie, its brutal at times and has humor all well worth your time.The originals like me will get that feeling back that was lost in the last 4 films..
