Overall a fun ride - good popcorn movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2019)

Yes, the second act drags. We found ourselves talking during the movie which is something we never do. The plot was a bit all over the place. The music was classic star wars fun. The characters were strong and driven. The direction and special effects were good. It just seemed like a movie we'd already seen. By the end we were paying attention but I think we've about rung this out for all it is going to provide. They left a clue for a future Star Wars but, meh. The MADOLORIAN is much better, much more fun, much more engaging. The big controversy over the gay kiss was just hype, as usual. If you weren't looking for it you wouldn't see the 1% in the background. I read where some countries had them edit it out. Meh. Overall a fun ride but I think they are done.
