Shot amazingly

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2019)

The cinematography is amazing. But not in the way that other films like blade runner are. It looks like it was shot in 1977, which in any other film would show a lack of quality if it doesn't look "modern" but my God they put so much effort into making it look like it was part of the A New Hope timeline, which I imagine would be constricting but feels so natrual, so much so that you don't even notice it but it makes it so much better.
To quote Futurama. "When you've done something right people won't know you've done anything at all."
It fits in with the Star Wars legacy so well while being something fresh and different so you know it's not part of the main saga. I originally hated the fact that it doesn't have the main roll and it has labels for the planets, which makes it more Star Trek than Star Wars, but on a second viewing it doe a great way of separating itself from the Saga.
Only thing that brings it down is I didn't feel that emotionally attached to the characters as much as I wanted to be.
