Surprisingly Fit And Enjoyable.

Well, all you SW-fans out there. You got It. A well packed-in filler to discuss and analyze into eternity. Very nice effects, and a real well credible crew to enjoy on the journey. You get to know that without some hard-core rebels who were ready to go all-in, the Empire would still run the galaxy today... ;)
During the show's evolution, you enjoy the details who gets you in the right gear for remembrance of a film that takes place before a flick that entered the cinemas in stone age 1977. Some levers, ships, weapons and clothing is very well recreated to get the right feeling.
Key personalities from "the past" shows up very moderate, but with good timing and at important occasions.
It's not a wild guess that we have many more "fill-in" SW-movies to expect in the future. (Already announced, uh?) The Disney factory got the dough for a dozen SW spin-offs for sure. But does the hard core SW-fans want it?
While the usual series continues next year with Episode VIII, I got a bad feeling that too high expectations of a classic middle movie as 1980's Empire Strikes Back really can strike back on you.
But I want to be proved wrong.
