If You Don't Cry

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2019)

Nearly four decades after 'Star Wars' fever hit the world for the first time in 1977 and initiated 'The Skywalker Saga' (1977-2019) with 'The Original Trilogy' (1977-1983), and thirty-two years after 'The Return of the Jedi' (1983), the original cast is back in 'The Force Awakens'. A seventh episode that marks the beginning of 'The Sequel Trilogy' (2015-2019), which is about to close the 'The Skywalker Saga' with the release of 'Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker' on December 20, 2019.
Star Wars is political, and it always has been. The Empire is a white supremacist organization that wants to dominate and destroy all known worlds and civilizations. Each episode is a powerful allegory and parable about fascism. A rallying cry to stand up and fight back Nazis all of kinds wherever they invade in the universe. A sumptuous cinematographic fresco painted by a team of visual artists who enlighten, inspire and bring the impossible to life, while upholding the right to difference and equality regardless of origin. A standard of universal love that teaches who our real families and allies are regardless of blood and traditions.
In this extremely emotional episode, if you do not cry when Han Solo and Chewbacca appear for the first time since 1983. When Princess Leia shows up after 32 years. When the son Han had with Leia kills his father, and when Ray finally climbs up cliffs and finds Luke Skywalker with all the wounds and scars he has accumulated over time and fights, I don't know how I can explain to you what Star Wars was, is and will forever be.
