Star Wars Lives Again

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2017)

Many say that this is just a placeholder until Star Wars Episode VIII comes out later in 2017. If so, I found it quite worthy of the Star Wars label.
Exciting story line, typically well developed story lines and excellent battle scenes.
The music, for the first time, is not by John Williams. Rather, Michael Giacchino takes over and does a fine job maintaining the feel of Williams' music and supporting the action.
I had to click on the spoiler box because I did have one minor complaint - the beginning lacked the regular explanatory crawl.
