The New Force

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2017)

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

Forty years later,
Change is inevitable,
New generation.
See veteran characters,
Plus feisty new ones,
In this film with a message.
Kylo Ren and Rey's
Intense on-screen chemistry,
Yoda's cameo,
Luke's controversial moves,
Finn with new love Rose,
Princess Leia's last hurrah.
Upgraded cantina scenes,
Gorgeous galaxies,
Spacecraft we'd love to explore,
Droids that make cute sounds,
Cute birds that do nothing else,
Epic lightsaber battles,
Familiar themes
Like good and bad, light and dark.
Somewhat selling out,
But the message is quite clear:
The Force is still strong
Presenting the new Star Wars,
The Rebellion is reborn.
Choka (long poem) was an epic storytelling form of poetry from the 1st to the 13th century, known as the Waka period. The choka is an unrhymed poem with the 5-7-5-7-5-7...7 syllable format (any odd number line length with alternating five and seven syllable lines that ends with an extra seven syllable line).
