I'm 47 and a woman. So, not your typical reviewer.

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

The issue with IMBD is the following: us in the older generations will read the review but rarely write them. It's usually the 20 something or younger writing them. I saw New Hope when I was seven, and I've been a fan of Star Wars ever since. So, my review is geared toward those from my generation who watched the series in order.
I agree with the other reviews that this episode is MUCH better than the most recent two. However, I will also say it is the best behind the original three that has been made. As far as I'm concerned, the original three and this one is all anybody need watch. I believe it is that good and, the movie does a good job tying all the new and old together. I did not once look to see the time, and I was extremely satisfied with the story. I will not go into detail because the spoilers are too good to give away. I suggest you see it immediately, and go in as your seven year old self who is seeing Star Wars, again, for the first time. Don't pick it apart, just enjoy the movie.
