What Star Wars Films Should be Moving Toward

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2018)

A grittier, darker, more adult treatment of Star Wars. For once, a Star Wars prequel takes full advantage of its chronology and the lore of the series, by fully taking advantage of the many opportunities to connect and tie itself into that herritage. The ending alone, warrants high praise. The action is also much more intense and mature. The feel is closer to a war movie (which the story really demands) as opposed to mere action-adventure. The tragic sacrifice of the plot marks the series finally taking full ownership and responsibility for the full scope and consequences of the subject matter used to form this now-classic story. This might be my new favorite film of the series!
