Its not an epic, but it's still good.

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2019)

The reality is that this trilogy isn't as good as the original was. But let's be honest, that's very hard. I think they have 3 good films, but they just don't join them up to tell an epic story. The plot needs a little more thought. Some good characters are not fully explored into depth, and it feels like they have too many characters not getting enough screen time. And Palpatine. I just don't get it. If you were going to do this - bring him into the TFA and give him some structure with a better plot line. Sadly my favourite character didn't get enough of a final swan-song.
In twenty years time, this will probably grow on us all, as I think, the prequel trilogy did. But as my headline states - it's not epic, but it's still good and worth a watch. And millions of kids have new idols to support - and that is a great thing!
