a new hope for star wars to change and adapt

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2017)

No it is not as good as a New Hope or Empire Strikes back, but it doesn't take away from the original stories or previous lore. Rian Johnsons direction is impeccable and although his dialogue needed slight help the movie still pushes boundaries of what Star Wars could be.
It throws away any expectations and fan theories to create an emotional and deep character and action driven film like the originals did. It changes things with tone and lore like empire did, and keeps mysterious characters mysterious just like in the original trilogy. yes it lacks closure, but that has never been a bad thing in cinema. It leaves so much for us, the fans, to speculate and question.
This is more than a star wars movie. Its a great movie (not as good as Empire) that takes star wars into a new direction for the new generation.
I did need to watch it twice (i saw it 3 times on the first day!) to adapt and accept some things but once i did i fell in love.
