Relatively disappointing, but yet not quite

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2015)

I went to the movie theater at the last moment and with mixed feelings. I was prepared for a major disappointment. And perhaps that made me resist and fully accept this Star Wars edition. In short, the first time I saw the movie I thought I am done with Star Wars. But... Apparently it is not that easy to reject this powerful dope, the saga turned into for such a great number of people.
After a week I went to see it a second time. Surprise, surprise... I enjoyed it. It touched me. This sci-fi soap opera somehow managed to touch me again. What have you put inside, people? What is the secret ingredient, I wonder...
Many reviewers say it is nothing like the original Lucas trilogy, which it definitely strives to carry on, but I would say it feels very much like the "original" Lucas.
There is one character I still cannot swallow completely, but it seems everything fits much better than the first time I saw it. And I can see now, I will be expecting impatiently the next episode, as it seems there are too many questions screaming for answers.
One thing is for sure - the saga is definitely NOT dead and will continue to entertain us for eternity (as many of us most likely will not see the end of it).
Let the Force be with you all and I do hope some of the basic wisdom preached in the movie will spread around in our reality. As the real world desperately needs it...
