Mark Hamil, Ridley, Dern it is good to see you again.

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2017)

I have to say in the words of Yoda! (Yes I was surprised to see the wise little jedi master) "It is good to see you Luke Skywalker" and I hope we will see him again in part three, please because we lost Mrs. Fisher whom we will always miss, so please let him be in a significant part of the film. There was a part where Kylo Ren is so convinced that we must let go of the past (yet I am still waiting the Return of Han Solo in part 3 do not disappoint us, did I mention that Mrs. Fisher passed away and that we will always miss her and that there is an ache that can't be filled in her absence.) But I have to give you a snippet from this review : A Lesson in Ageless Thinking From James Bond "Age is no guarantee of efficiency," the quartermaster says. "And youth is no guarantee of innovation," Bond replies. Quite true. Please be careful that you don't disrespect the elders in your midst while seeking to carve a name for yourselves. Whatever you do to the seniors amongst us you do to yourself and later when your own handiwork returns to the hands of the masters seeking the same fate for you that you handed out in your youth. It was also George Lukas in an interview (I cant remember which one) one time whom mentioned the old saying "old sins cast long shadows", I think the best way is to respect all life, all things as Jedi Master Skywalker tells Rey on the first of three lessons he gives her and I add to forgive and forget, seek to heal old wounds with the balm of kindness, gentleness, good will and honest diplomacy. This does not mean that evil will not raise its ugly head, as Skywalker said there will be evil it may be here to stay for now but it doesn't have to be here forever, cruelty, hate, war, violence, can go away and we can find the way together, hand in hand as Rey tries later with Kylo Ren who refuses in his quest to destroy everything and start anew which we can't do, you destroy the good with the bad if you do that and we cannot do this as Rose Tico (a rebel fighter) tells Finn's character "we fight for what we love", which hit me like thunder when she acts out of love for him in a special scene which should bring a tear to your eye or atleast leave you with a lump in your throat. Moving away from the philosophical, I have to say that I wanted more at the end, that I was at first dissappointed with Skywalkers behavior at first but then realized that yes after so many years of fighting it takes it's toll on anyone but I need to see him again in part 3 triumphant in every way as he was when the first films came out because it does a heart and soul good to see him one in the force, one with the force! Lastly I would have like to see a more exciting sword fight, like the kind in Phantom Menace with Obi-wan and Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul which is one of the greatest fight choreography I have ever seen (along with the fight scenes in Ipman part 1 which are incredible). Also if this movie is some 20 years later shouldn't the technology be more advanced, the space ship that Laura Dern's character (was great although too rigid, but good to see you back laura) is in towards the end seems advanced but other technology seems the same, for the next and future films and yes there should be a follow up to Rey's character she is just exciting as a jedi, her youth and please her purity must remain intact as the years pass to light and gui de the rest through the darkness that surrounds the jedi universe and I am excited to see new Jedi and hopefully alien ones like Asokah Tano from the animated clone wars. Hopefully Star Trek (the competitor) will not go Rated R but remain PG-13 but follow many of the same advice I gave above especially with the elders, while enhancing the story and action. I would like to see William Shatner make a significant Cameo alongside with John Luke Piccard (yes Kirk LIVES! As in the self written answer to his untimely death in the time traveling storyline, hey he could appear before that story line, just have him and the rest of the surviving cast appear to pay them tribute and satisfy age old fans and show respect), p.s. Chris Pine is great as the young Kirk, he has grown into the role and is very charismatic. I would love to see some new droids and more aliens and alien creatures a jungle planet would be awesome to see and a great back drop for a great battle scene as intense as you can make it with hundreds of resistance/ emperial fighters making their stand. By the way the 3D Effect continue to disappoint because although there is depth perception in some scenes, the whole idea is that the scenes need to POP-OUT at you and they don't. Come on guys get this done to really give us a real experience like no other, during some of the regal cinema promos we get the regal cinemas logo POP right out to us in TRUE 3D but that's it, can you guys get this happening, I mean we're paying a bunch of money to go see it in Imax 3D just for this (once again yes the depth perception is well done).
