Brief Review of Star Wars VII
It's better than the last 4.
Other than the beneficiaries of the senior citizen actors' initiative, three out of four of the new generation were horribly miscast, although I was glad to see the lead in Attack the Block get a big role.
The one bright spot was the actress who played the Jedi natural, Rey. She was terrific. British, of course.
So two more to go of this ever more irrelevant series. They are merely recycling ideas from the first six, particularly the first two, but at least those movies had some ideas, somewhat silly, to recycle.
I'll still go and see them.

A New Beginning
As opposed to the old beginnings we're so used to. The franchise went Disney with the freakin' Ewoks in the third film. The recent set of three prequels sucked from beginning to end. This new set of three sequels (always on George Lucas' mind) by Disney probably will be bad as well, but if Lucas is not writing it, all I see is up side.
