I have a love-hate relationship with Star Wars. No matter how I try not to watch it, I end up seeing it anyway. For some reason, I always get swayed into watching it. Perhaps, I never quite understood why I liked it before. Growing up, I always thought that the themes in the series were too complex, probably because there are too many characters that even now I can't name them all. But, as a screenwriting student years ago, I began to understand why people love 'Star Wars'..... I don't want to get into too much details because being a screenwriting graduate, I could go on forever about structure, character personas, and setting, etc. There's a reason why they teach screenwriting. Just like everything else in this world: there are right and wrong ways to do things. I just feel that learning screenwriting structure is not for everyone because it will change one's perspective on movies. Well, that being said, I must be the first one to admit that the creators of 'Star Wars' have mastered how to make people care about the characters. That is part of the aura that makes the entire series enticing to many viewers and readers of the saga. It goes beyond the cool outfits, the cool fighting scenes, and the bad ass villains.
I am also a big fan of Felicity Jones, so there is no way I am going to miss this new film in which she is the major character in.
