The best of Episodes IV-IX

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2019)

I have more than 40 years invested in this series, and I've been selective in seeing only the original trilogy and the newest trilogy. And only in theaters where the full effects can be felt. No prequels, no odd rip-offs, no watching on TV with commercials. And only showings when school is still in session so I can enjoy the movie with just adults. So, yeah, I'm a big fan.
I think Episode IX is the best of the six. It was exciting, satisfying, and kept me interested every moment. (Except when some idiot's cell phone rang. Twice.) The story was gripping and progressed well. No slow moments that make you lose your concentration. There were a very few moments that seemed to have odd direction for the characters, but not enough to ruin the storyline.
If you are a Star Wars fan, you will enjoy IX and leave the theater satisfied. Even though it is billed as the "last", the conclusion seems to leave plenty of room for future installments. I hope we don't have to wait too long, because we original fans are in the Medicare age group now.
