Old and young Star Wars fans will enjoy this epic second revive of Star Wars!

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2015)

I just got back from the cinema. My gut tells me 10/10, of course! That was kind of obvious when feeling the hype that's been raining all over the internet these last few weeks. But where to begin, when I try to describe my emotions after watching it?
Maybe I can start off with this: Star Wars fans, old and new, you will most assuredly feel a chill spreading through your body and warming your heart when you see Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill on the big white screen again, resulting in goosebumps arising on your skin while your heart pumps just a little faster from the joy. It was truly amazing to see all of these three actors back in action again. It's just so delightful to see that age isn't necessarily an obstacle for being the star of a legendary world class movie (which can gross $238.000.000 in one day.) Moving on, of course we can not forget the phenomenal new additional characters to the Star Wars franchise: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver just to mention the most important ones. I am so happy that these are the people who were casted to revive the Star Wars universe once again after a second long break (luckily, I am from the 90s, so I only had to endure one of them.) But maybe it was all for the best though; to give the franchise time to manifest itself in us for generations (talking about both my father, grandfather and me for instance.) Anyway, this new cast must also get a very big applause for their excellent work and for not being too intimidated by the franchise due to what it has become today.
I would say the movie perfectly unites the original Star Wars trilogy (4-6) with the latter Star Wars movies (1-3) by recasting the SAME brilliant actors (who are still acting brilliant, despite their age) and introducing fresh, new and young actors who so eloquently live up to the high standards of their predecessors.
Of course, you will also get to see the epic, mandatory light saber duel, which in this movie at least keeps up with the recent Star Wars movies. Whether or not it is as good as the Anakin vs. Obi-Wan duel on Mustafar is up to you to decide, but personally I think this one added a nice extra element to it. At last, I feel obligated to mention that Star Wars fans all over the world will be thrilled to notice certain familiar elements from the past movies (like a certain light saber perhaps; that is in no way a spoiler by the way) and much other stuff, which I will gladly send you in to watch by fully recommending it to you.
So grab your family or friends and head to the movies as long as it's still on in the cinema.
