Unexpectedly good

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2020)

I went into this movie for a rewatch expecting to hate it, mostly because its two predecessors were so awful. But the truth is, this movie is pretty good. Sure, it's nowhere near as great as the originals, but it's really just a fun movie up until the halfway point, when it turns into a tragedy. It's easily the saddest Star Wars film, ESPECIALLY if you've watched the final season of Clone Wars! Yes, it has its flaws-the dialogue is still bad-but I'm willing to look past that for the sake of the story. I've grown to love these characters, and it tied this trilogy with the originals quite well. It's really not my favorite Star Wars, but it's stood the test of time and is definitely one of the most entertaining. And anyways, Star Wars is at its best when you just turn off your brain for two hours and enjoy the ride :)
