A long time ago in a galaxy far away, Star Wars ruled.

Rating: 6/10 (18 January 2020)

I remember the excitement of the original Star Wars films and the anticipation of of the original sequels, not any more, just another money spinning release living off the legend. Not that this particular film is a bad film, it's just the same as the rest of them, pretty much the same story, same action, same outcome, just the names have changed. Obviously well made and special effects are great, as they have been for over 40 years. Still I watched and enjoyed it, even though you know the very predictable outcome. But to be fair, they are never going to recreate the excitement of the original trio of films. Still, no doubt fans will flock to see it, and if there is anyone left alive who hasn't seen the original films then you'll love it.
