Return to Form

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

Just watched a preview or "local European Premiere" & really enjoyed the film.
I feel that this movie makes better use of the characters we have collectively rooted for an loved for decades, than Episode VIII.
There are some plot twists, emotional moments & character developments which I won't spoil here, but they added some depth to the story. Fewer moments which felt like replication of the older movies (as in Episode VIII) but still capturing some of the "essence" of Star Wars.
The new characters now have enough depth and back story to make them interesting protagonists for another trilogy in the future? At least I hope so!
