New ... But still Star Wars

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2015)

I feel like this is brand new, with new actors and ideas being thrown in the mix. Yet it still feels like Star Wars. This burst of new life into Star Wars is defiantly worth a watch despite complaints of similarities to episode IV, whether a Star Wars fan or not.
I love how they have brought back the older characters (e.g Han Solo, Leia, ...) To pass on the mantle of Star Wars to some new characters. As much as I love this film it would be nice to have some more light sabre fight scenes but I feel as though this can be overlooked due to the fact that this is the first instalment of the series and brings you up to pace with the current affairs of a galaxy far far away a long time ago.
