Unnecessary but entertaining

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2017)

I guess you would call this an insertaquel as it is inserted between episode 3 and 4 and fills in a couple gaps leading to the very first movie released. There are certainly some characters from previous movies throughout this one. It does take 2 hours of your time to fill in the background on how the information for attacking the death star came about. That could have been accomplished in about 10 minutes. There were some good battles with good graphics and they sure were better shots than any of the other movies. I think the biggest benefit will come in marketing new toys of the new spacecraft that appear in this movie
