I am one with the force and this review is with me

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2019)

I am sad to say I have only recently watched this movie as when it was released I heard nothing but negative things about but after watching it on Blu Ray years past its release I regret not giving a chance sooner.
The movie is a prequel to Episode IV A New Hope and the story of how the death star got built and how the flaw in its design came to be and how the rebels came to possess the information the story on paper doesn't sound groundbreaking but it is honestly very good as it sets the stage for the original trilogy.
This is look into the other side of the Star Wars universe putting the Jedi aside and focusing more on the rebels who turned the tide of war against the empire which isn't something we see a lot in Star Wars.
The movie is very well shot and plays on the strengths of the Star Wars Universe with even with an all new cast of characters we have never seen before you feel at home in this movie the battles and effects are well done making this movie look and sound incredible.
I urge anyone who is a Star Wars fan to watch this movie it truly is a worthy entry in such a beloved franchise and will not disappoint you despite what others say.
