A story for each generation

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2019)

First of all, sorry if my english is not good enough, is not my first language.
I am not lucky enough as much people here that watched the first Star Wars movie on its premiere 40 years ago. We can say that I belong to the second generation, the one who saw The Phantom Menace on cinemas. I was there, watching how Anakin became Lord Vader and it really blown my mind. But before that, I already was a huge fan of Star Wars. The first triology has been, is and always will be an enormus piece of my life. BUT, and this is a big BUT, I really love the second trilogy. I was a kid and I felt represented by Anakin and Obi Wan. And I deeply admired Yoda, Qui-Gon and Mace Windu. And I feared and hated Darth Maul and Palpatine. I think, at the end of it all, that's what it's about. Waking up the emotions of the people who watch the movie.
And this last triology achives that. For sure it could been better, but my feeling is that we are getting exactly what we were looking 40/20 years ago. Emotion, empathy, adventure and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
Rey is a great Jedi, we are not white or black, we are all grey. And she represents that. Also, she always fight for LOVE, and I do not think there is something better than that. Poe, Finn, Rose, BB8 help carring the weight of the plot. The importance of the characters from the original saga is fair enough and they don't take too much screen time from the new heroes.
Kylo is the representation of our fears. From what they tell us we should be but we believe we don't get. And he is wrong and takes the incorrect path and that is why he represents our generations. But he finds his redemption, he fights for it, because there is always a way back.
The final turn where we can see that everything is a plan from The Emperor is wonderful, because he has always been the one who wanted to erase the Skywalker name from the face of the earth. And there can never be a better villain than him, someone who best represents the evil of the Sith and is the perfect counterpart of the Jedi Knights.
This film (and trilogy) have been an amazing journey and it will awake a new generation of young Star Wars fans.
The Force Awakens The Last Jedi for The Rise of Skywalker.
