Recycling, but no so bad

Well, I'm not sure what people expected? The original trilogy is not gonna happen again. Dart is not coming back, neither is Yoda. JJ did what was partially expected: took several motives from previous parts, put politically correctness (girl-hero, afro-hero) and spiced it with new technologies. Plot is not original, not really. But it got good elements. Kylo - he is not really a Dart. He is Dart wannabe, he does not need to wear a mask and speakers, but tries to imitate the grandpa. He is torn between the Sides, so his power varies and that's acceptable. At least as much as the whole Force thing is - you cannot write equations about that, still, this is a movie, not a Nature paper. I like the idea of runaway storm trooper. We've never seen the human trooper-side before, they were more like robots. SW is much about that "spanish telenovela" motive - who is whom father/brother/sister and that will remain and I'm fine with that. I do expect new things in part 8, as I think of this part as semi-homage and intro to new trilogy. I watch all 6 parts every year. Wonder if I stop or continue with new trilogy. We'l see.
