Jedi vs Cosmic Despotism

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2016)

There are a lot of new characters where lineages of Jedi and rulers brim with revolution, politics, technologies, and ethics. Technologies have become larger yet more ergonomic during the brief exchanges amongst factions and the pictures from the bird's eye view. The large imperial weapon, awakening of key Jedi figures, and each fighters discovery of new skills and self-confidence seem reminiscent of "A New Hope"; same strategy, new fighters. If this movie foreshadows relatively similar sequels of drama and action like "A New Hope" did, then the next two movies may really squash the box office. Predictable landscapes and battle strategies remain threats to earning the kind of awe and respect which the "A New Hope" earned. Each battle, each new Jedi, each inevitable victory for good or bad tilts the scales of justice and power and tests the innocence of the Jedi.
