Better than the episodes

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2016)

I preferred this to the force awakens. It was more focused location- wise and it's a much better idea for me than the episodes in general outside of the first 3 which didn't seem focused in terms of events either.
It may have been full of holes, shallow cameos of the first film and enough big star wars things to remove their impact in Star Wars films for years to come... But it's still better than the complete tangents the episodes go off on.
SPOILERS I like that everyone dies, that's my kind of result, but at the same some there were some cool characters I would have liked to see again. I guess they're gonna have to make prequels of this prequel if I want to see them again. The only moment where I really felt the effect of what you could call fan service, was the darth vader bit near the end where he comes in kicking ass. Even then I was soon like, this is fun so fair enough, but it was very blatant in its insertion.
