The sequel trilogy delivers!

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

I have seen TROS twice now. Once at the midnight screening and once with my family. I have two children. On first viewing I was shocked at the pace and reveals and a bit blindsided. I had mixed feelings and wasn't able to take it all in. On my second viewing I was ready to just enjoy it and had my seven year old son sitting next to me who was in Jedi costume. I loved so many scenes in this movie. It has a lot of heart and the scenery is beautiful. The action and effects are incredibly well done but it is the character moments for me that really work. Unfortunately because of the pace at which some of this is introduced you may need more than one viewing to really soak it in. A big shout out to what Daisy and Adam have done with their roles and to Abrams and Johnson for the interesting way they brought them together through the force. This was something truly unique in the Star Wars universe and gave the new films something memorable. I hope everyone sees this movie more than once, I think it really pays to do so.
