As I haven't been keeping a proper count of the films & shows I've recently watched I thought it might be a good idea to revive this community for the purpose

The more I've thought about it the more confused I feel why did they make it like that. It was sort of "re-make" more than a sequel but it does not make sense with all the old actors in the cast. I haven't read the books but I think it is a pity they did not follow their plots instead of making this calculated mixture of this and that.

I also felt it was a little bit much rehashing of old stuff. I understand it's a cycle of some sort. But still. That said, I enjoyed it and thought it was much better than the prequels.

I think some themes and mannerisms are part of the world and belong to Star Wars but I don't understand why they had to make so many similar scenes. I do hope the next ones will offer something new.
