Powerful, Moving, Epic, and Everything You Want It To Be

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2019)

Star Wars is a story that means a lot to me. It means a lot to a lot of people. Having finally just witnessed the epic finale to the 9 episode saga, The Rise of Skywalker, here are my (spoiler free) thoughts.
The movie is powerful, moving, epic, and everything I wanted it to be! I actually got really emotional watching this! The stakes in this final film have never been higher, quite literally everything and everyone clashes for one final battle! Every single previous movie in the series (Episodes 1-8, plus a nod to Rogue One) has a reference and relates to what happens in this one! There are also so many satisfying moments, and a TON of surprises including a lot of surprise cameos!! Every single loose end in the series is tied up at the end. It's a joyous celebration of an incredible tale 42 years in the making! The movie is so so great and everything you want in a great Star Wars movie! Go see it!! It's so good!!
