Best Star Wars film to date

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2020)

I believe this is what star wars truly is. You have great performances by Ewan Mcgregor, Hayden Christensen, etc. I do believe that the previous prequel films were not that good but I hate seeing this amazing movie being belittled by just the fact of being a prequel. Lucas could of easily just redid the elements that made the previous movies work, but no he didn't unlike what Disney did. He wanted to tell what us the story of Star wars in his vision. It wasn't about making money for him (Some of it was, but we are all motivated by greed in some way), it was about telling a convincing story of the rise of the empire and fall of the good. The Clone Wars series really made this film go from a 7 to a 10 because you create an emotional attachment to these characters and feel sad when things go dark. I love the inclusion of politics grounding it to reality. This is how empires rise, and I love it. WATCH THIS FILM, it is a must see if you are a true starwars fan.
