Star wars : a glimmer of hope

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2020)

I grew up on star wars, saw the first movie countless times in the 80s...Although decades on I'm no superfan.
After 5 failed attempts this feels like a successor at last to the original films and is SO much better than the awful last jedi.
It is undoubtedly silly and full of plot holes (the original trilogy has too when viewed objectively), but what this movie has which the last 5 films have missed is a little heart.
I'd love the producers to end the mega budget trilogy based offerings here and focus more on the smaller star wars stories like the excellent Mandalorian or the standalone spin off films (rogue one being the best of them) but of course they won't as long as the money keeps rolling in.
