Go watch it before making an opinion!!

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2019)

I went in pretty blind, I love the original trilogy so so much and hold all of them really close to my heart as a childhood memory especially.
Wasn't a fan of the prequels too much, found them a bit too boring but admittedly they had their place in the story and help to establish the relationship between anakin and obi wan to set up for a new hope.
I thought force awakens was pretty good.
last Jedi just dropped the ball though sadly, bit too boring again, none of that same Star Wars magic.
However, this film... is really really good! I was crying the whole way through, they really did Carrie Fisher justice, Rey gets a ton of character development (she's actually interesting now) and Ben Solo is someone you actually WANT to like, not just some emo 'feel sorry for me' kid like in the last films. Also all the cameos are amazing - saying that, this film really does pull on the nostalgia strings once every few minutes but there's so many plot lines or just little odd details from previous films that it solves so our minds can rest at ease that i actually appreciate the film MORE for doing it so much.
All in all this is a true return to form for Star Wars. Better than the rest of this trilogy, better than the prequels, not as good as the originals (but how good it ever be, come on ðŸ˜‚)
