THE FORCE COULD BE IN BETTER HANDS.

Category: Entertainment

Even though STAR WARS may be in pretty good hands. The Force Awakens is clearly made as a sequence by sequence nostalgia trip. Right from fighter pilots cruising through the death star, to a an even bigger death star to a parent less stranger alone on a planet with misplaced ideas of amily and belonging. And yet Star Wars: The force Awakens, gets a lot right. From the Storm Trooper with identity issues to the scavenger who finds her way into the force. The one thing that they didn’t really treat with as much respect as they coud have, was the Force. The Force under JJ abrams’ leadership ends up being a reflection of this generation and the stark differences between this generation and the one that began making Star Wars what it is now, as viewers. The Force under JJ Abrams’ leadership doesn’t have to be learnt, there are no teachers required, there is no failing at it, there is no practice required, there is no sense of ‘riyaaz’, no sense of needing to work hard at it no matter how strong it is within you. The Force under Lucas’ leadership was almost like talent. You could have oodles of it but you’d still have to hone it, work on it, train under someone who’s a master at it to really be able to harness it, fail, stand back up time and again, the Force, just like inherent talent isn’t something you can just get to be good at, in a flash. The Force isn’t two minute noodles.
