The Last of Lucus, goes out with an almighty bang!

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2019)

Firstly i'm not so qualified to review a Star Wars film, as I'm not such a big fan (especially the latter ones). 'Star Wars' is now thrilling an entire new generation, with some actually following the franchise as a religion. You can't be blase about a movie that cost a telephone number amount of dollars and thousands of man hours, just to produce a few seconds of screen time. It's so technically perfect it's in danger of becoming over polished. I really miss the risk taking of the original and the jokey but memorable dialog, delivered by the first set of (mega) fantastic characters. Perfection but at a price; as it always opts for the safe, middle ground (Spielberg was typically employed for some directive). George Lucus, has made the dumbing down of sci-fi into a fine art and in his very own words (whilst consulting his crew) "This is what Steven wants!". To end on a high note though, the scene when Anakin changes into Darth Vader, was truly a masterful stroke. Apart from 'Rogue One', it was all down hill, from the moment Lucus, left the building.
