Absolutely Fan-tastic

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2016)

With this movie not being an episode and being a Star Wars nerd I was worried as to how well this film would turn out. I really need not have feared, the film was amazing. Captivating throughout with tense moments, which I thought was impressive given we know the outcome (A New Hope). The last sequences for me was the outstanding highlight of the film, not only do we have Darth Vader showing how he would kill a load of rebels in battle, but we also have the return of Leia! This film is amazing. Top marks to Disney. Additionally the return of Grand Moff Tarkin and the lack of the Emperor was a very good decision, the cameo of R2 and C3PO was enough to bring a grin and brief enough to be just perfect. Episode 8 can't come soon enough!
