Simply blown away

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2019)

I'm 41 now, I've been obsessed with Star Wars since I saw Empire strikes back when I was 2 years old at the cinema. Rise of skywalker just simply blew me away. I cannot even put into words how amazing it was for me, I went through so many emotions watching it like I haven't done with any other SW film before. I laughed and I cried quite a few times. It was a roller coaster ride. I feel like the new characters really gelled in this one, more than episode 7 and 8. JJ really nailed this one for me. Its a shame that the trilogy now ends just as it got as good as the originals. In some way it was better than the originals but maybe that's just because it was so emotional and I probably had a lot of nostalgia. But it really was so fun. Ask me in 40 years though after watching it 400 times if it's as good as the original trilogy because right now I've only seen it once :)
Thank you to Disney for making my dreams come true and making this new trilogy. I do wish it had been done 20 years ago with Han Leia and Luke together in their prime, but they didn't, so this to me is as good as it could get in 2019 without those 3 characters together leading the roles, they're like family to me those 3.
C3PO was back to his best in this. I did feel the last two lacked so much 3PO.
Alright I will shut up now. Just so hyped up. Cannot wait to see it in 4D next week!!
