Star Wars is back

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2015)

Characters feels REAL, ALIVE, COMPLEX and fun to watch, opposite to episodes 1-3. I did not know what to expect when Disney bought franchise, but they and Abrams succeeded. Very strong start to new series of Star Wars films. This movie was also very good in 3D, opposite what I experienced when watching for example Hobbit.
How ever, I did not get a pure experience, because some jackass without SPOILER warning revealed in forum section what happens to Han Solo. I read it accidentally few days before going to cinema. Well, it was my bad also. I did not read a single review, and this is the way you should watch a movie, specially this. Clear your mind. I don't know, how movie would have been emotionally different if I would have not known Han Solo's destiny. Or if I would have read dozens of odd 1/10 reviews.
There is great old cast, but new characters are also interesting. Finn, a stormtrooper who is switching sides, is very interesting to follow. Kylo Ren, new bad guy who is very skilled in the use of telekinesis and is able to use it to immobilize people and scan their minds. But he is afraid that he would never be as strong as Darth Vader. And that is true in TFA that he is weaker then Vader, because he can't control his anger and loses his temper all the time. But he is not fully trained. Snoke is going to complete his training after the destruction of Starkiller Base. Who is main character Rey? We did not get a whole picture and it is good to leave questions unanswered. It is already told she is more than scavenger from Jakku. She is interesting to follow and it is good to have a girl in lead this time. She can resist Kylo Ren's mind scanning and use force more powerful than Luke or anyone else could ever before without training. Or has she got some training before Jakku time? We don't know this. She is very connected to Luke. At the end of TFA Rey landed to the island of an unnamed planet, which she had previously seen in her vision. There she met Skywalker and presented him with his old lightsaber.
Yes, there are similarities in script compared to episodes 4-6, and that is intention. Abrams wanted it to evoke the feel of the originals rather than the prequels. This is Star Wars film, very entertaining to watch and at least first film should be like this. How ever, it would be interesting to know, what kind of script Lucas had in his mind before selling franchise to Disney. He has said that his script was about family problems, and Disney did not liked this. But TFA is about family problems, so this does not match. Also the ending in TFA is something Lucas had in his mind back in 1983, but vice-versa: An interview with Mark Hamill revealed footage of Luke Skywalker talking about how Lucas approached him about playing an Obi-wan-type character in a sequel and passing the torch to another generation of Jedi.
