The Final Act is incredible

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2016)

The way this movie sets up where the original Star Wars starts off is incredible.
It would be nice if they had the time to establish the secondary characters a bit more, but i was actually impressed with how much they were able to establish for everyone given that this is a 1 and done story.
There is not a wasted moment on the screen. Everything has a purpose of propelling the characters forward.
There are some very surprisingly well-executed cameos, and a final scene that is everything us boys of the 70's and 80's have wanted in Star Wars since we first saw the thing.
Really solid entry overall in the Star Wars saga. I have renewed faith in these suggested 'Side-story' films, now...
