"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."

I seem to be one of the few Star Wars geeks, who enjoyed this totally new approach to the Star Wars saga. I found the movie excellent, the characters a lot more human and interesting than in the previous Star Wars films.
The movie has so many layers to it... it is very different from all SW movies so far, a lot less pathos less myth, and it is being honest about it, does not try to cover itself behind the "delusion of grandeur". It starts with showing how weak heroes can be, and they make bad choices, but when they do the right thing they will become legend through their sacrifice. Then there is the concept that sometimes people do things totally useless due to misunderstanding, then there is disagreement and disobedience in the rebellion leadership (the strange thing is that there was none in the original trilogy). Heroes and villains are not perfect and all mighty, the force is not just black and white and I could continue. The burning of the Jedi scriptures and the tree, done by Yoda himself is the climax of this statement. You need to learn to let go.
I understand that this is hurtful to a lot of fans as the original trilogy and the prequels have been a lot more clear, easy to understand, but the world have changed we have grown up, and new generations grow up in a different world, where there is no space for immaculate hero's and princesses anymore, but there is a huge need for hero's and myth nevertheless.
