My new personal favorite

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2017)

Fabulous, a Star Wars movie that takes its theme completely seriously. I ditched High School the day I saw the first movie, and I don't think I've found any of the sequels quite as satisfying, until now. Having met Peter Cushing as a young teenager at the 2nd Annual Famous Monsters of Film convention, it was great to see him resurrected for the film in a role most sinister. And having lost Carrie Fisher recently, her digital appearance as a young Princess Leia is also too cool. I've had some trepidations over the idea of Disney taking over Lucas Films. But frankly, if this is an example of the caliber of what they will produce in the future, this galaxy is in good hand.
