Not bad, but not great

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2019)

I've grown up with Star Wars, and to put it simply nothing will ever come close to the original trilogy, it was ground breaking in so many ways. I walked into the theatre with trepidation, will they ruin a large part of my life.
No they didn't ruin it, but did they make it better? No they didn't, was it breaking new ground ? No it wasn't. There was some nice moments, Chewie getting his medal at last, I think what they did with Carrie Fisher was very well done, you would be hard pressed to know that it was old footage they used, although you could tell if you looked for it.
I said to my friend, when they were rescuing Chewie, that if they end up in a trash compactor I'm walking out. They didn't do that thank god, but I do think that they tried to shoehorn in too many Easter Eggs for the original films.
Marvel knows how to spend Mickey Mouses's money wisely, Star Wars I'm not so sure, although The Mandalorian does give me hope that it might turn into a universe that we are all are dying to see more of.
And where was baby yoda ?
