Let's put it simply: The best SW movie, along with Episode IV

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2015)

Sometimes the universe created by a genius becomes larger than himself. This is exactly the case. The legacy of Star Wars, so wonderfully established back in 1977 in the first film made by George Lucas, was not only fully respected in minute detail in "The Force Awakens" as introduced pounds of excitement, fun, wonder and cinematic quality. I always had to myself that the first Star Wars was the best of all episodes in the franchise, even better than "The Empire Strikes Back" because it was the film that established most of the canons of this series we love so much. "Return of the Jedi", closing the original trilogy, was also an excellent movie with excitement and entertainment. As for the episodes I, II and III, also directed by Lucas, I like them. Apart from midichlorians and Jar Jar Binks, almost unanimously despised by fans, in those stories Lucas introduced a lot of interesting ideas that will remain forever in the imagination of the Force universe.
Now, as I have just watched the new VII Episode, I can see that, curiously, Lucas's imagination power is more present than ever, even though he personally has not worked in this film. This is a classic case of the creation surpassing its creator in the sense that the creator can no longer follow the evolution of his work, but holds forever the merits of having created something so important, so concise and striking in the lives of people to allow this magical universe continue indefinitely. Congratulations to JJ Abrams for the skill with which led the entire Project of "The Force Awakens", which is spectacular in many ways, being a movie that will certainly please the most different audiences. Now it will be very hard to wait almost two years for Episode VIII!
