Time to let go of the old and embrace the new.

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2018)

I'm an old massive Star Wars fan. I grew up with the original movies, owned the toys, played the video games, growing up I wanted to be Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and the gang. I lived Star Wars.
The preludes were then introduced when I was much older, I wanted to love them but didn't. I felt cheated.
The new films have now hit and although there is a familiarity to them and the originals, they are different again.
So I'm not going to review the film on what I think Star Wars should be, it's based on the reaction I saw in my nine year old sons face when we went to see it. He was glued to the screen as I was 40 years ago watching the original movie. He loved it, loved the characters, enjoyed the stories, wants the toys, he has taken the baton from me......
Star Wars will evolve, it will change and some of us may not like the route it takes, but looking at the reaction of the younger generation, the Force is still with us.
Always.
