I watched this for the 2nd time on Vudu. It's like the three prequels never existed. I'm no Star Wars fanatic (not that there's anything wrong with that), I loved it as a kid then moved on, but this film is the best of the Star Wars series, including yes, Empire. Rey is the Luke Skywalker of this generation but more compelling. That moment she turned on the blue lightsabre framed against her face, that moment just represented all that was good.
Speaking of, I have a problem with the whole "balance" of the force thing The dark side doesn't subscribe to this ying and yang and would wipe out the jedi if it could.
There needs to be a balance. So if the light side of the force prevailed and everything was hunky dory then there would still be an inbalance in the force that needed to be addressed?
thanks George Lucas, for this eastern mysticism b.s. So the force isn't a force good, it's a force for equilibrium. Inspiring.
but I digress.
