Not as bad as one would fear, but still ...

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

After the total let-downs of TFA and TLJ I almost didn't want to see this one. Luckily my 10 year old son is also a fan and I promised him we would go.
The film has improved on his predecessors, the addition of Palpatine gave it a boost and darker feel.
But still, where the original trilogy focused on good vs bad, where does this theme remain when the 'bad guys' are such losers that even the most stupid bunch bunch of school kids could beat them. How can there ever any tension or suspense?
Anyway, an advancement on previous films. I can only hope that the success of The Mandalorian steers Disney on the right path for future SW films. Now that the Skywalker saga is completed they can start with a clean slate.
A new hope ...
