Star Wars is dead! Long live Star Wars!

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2017)

NO SPOILERS
This movie had few main purposes, from the producers point of view. Those are completely fulfilled.
This movie purposely cut the ties with the original saga.
It's biggest weakness is the producers, you can see which scenes were forced in by those with the money. I would say that a lot of money were coming from a country named China. You could say this movie targeted Chinese customers who are not very fond with the SW original trilogy, and even less with the episodes I, II and III.
The plot choices are not bad, on the contrary, the writers knew they couldn't make something too close to the original feel, so they decided to explore ways that could hurt your expectations. It has great moments that are really enjoyable, considering that we're still watching a Star Wars movie, nothing serious, it's a sci-fi fantasy epic saga in a galaxy far far away... but this time the galaxy doesn't feel so far away, you can clearly see and count each and every "quotation scene" from other movies, from the series "clone wars" and so on. The old magic of the Star Wars universe in my personal opinion has been slightly ruined, still i think this is a proper Star Wars movie, maybe not between the best, but still very enjoyable.
There are though parts were it's clear that they are selling toys, and this kinda hurts my feelings.
All this conflict between the new and the old, is well described in the first part of the movie through the character of Luke.
I liked it, because i entered the cinema with no expectation and strangely no hype, and was a bit stoned (not enough to not see these little details that hurt my eyes and my feelings)
