Best Film of the Sequel Trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2019)

If you are a Star Wars fan, there is an awful lot to love here. Great lightsaber battles, lots of heart, awesome worlds, genuine stakes, fun new characters, a few old favorites, and more beautifully thought nods to the franchise than you can believe. Only people who expect too much from this franchise that has always been about fun and emotion will not enjoy this adventurous ride. Very well might be the best-acted entry in the franchise, too. Bravo, JJ Abrams!
