Went in with low expectations--MY FAVORITE STAR WARS MOVIE EVER

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2016)

I was completely blown away by this movie. While I have seen all 7 of the other movies, I really don't acknowledge episodes 1, 2 and 3 as I did not enjoy the silliness. If you are not familiar with the plot to this movie, do yourself a favor and read up on it!!! I went with a group of 10 and those that didn't know what it was about were lost and did not enjoy near as much as I did. All you really need to know? They are stealing the plans for the Death Star for destruction in episode 4. That's it!
Many did not like the digital imagery for Grand Moff Tarkin and Leia but I thought it was fantastic. Gave me chills when I saw Tarkin, immediately knew who it was, and he turned around and stared into the camera.
Darth Vader? Did not see that coming. The final scene with him in it is one of the greatest movie scenes of all time!! Badass!!
I left the theater very happy! Just to warn you though---some in my group were not near as enthused.
