A timeless classic that will appeal to most

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2015)

I thought it was cleverly done. The mixing of the old with the new which was nearly seamless. Although a little disappointed in the cyclic nature of the story line, the drama,actionable and emotional connect were are all there. When the old characters appeared together it was just magic and a lump developed in my throat. This movie departs with a glimpse of Luke Skywalker the only remaining Jedi. I did miss Yoda//Obi also for those little words of wisdom about the force but hopefully we will get that in the next one. The story line with destruction of the third but larger Death Star/Planet although a bit disappointing rings true almost like the obsession of building a bigger more destructive bomb like we do here. Having said that for sake of entertainment the story tellers will need to source another plot for the next installment. No doubt having to go back to the past and look at some of those World war 2 movies or back further to plot lines /stories from ancient Japan which is where I think Lucas got his initial inspiration. Investment in the story will always be rewarding because when people ask what was it about you need to be inspirational with this sort of movie.
