Loved it

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2020)

I'm a life-long star wars fan. I was disappointed with episode 7 and 8 but I'm very pleased with episode 9, I loved it. The film is clearly influenced by the original star wars universe books and comics: Leia as a Jedi, Jedi healing and emperor palatine's resurrection into clones and trying to pass his spirit into a person strong in the force (in the comic he was targeting Luke).
It was also great to see some core-fan favourites back too, the B-wing's (sadly missing from the last 2 films) and Wedge Antilles put a smile on my face. Lando's appearance was a bit too obvious but still welcome.
The previous 2 films felt like they were just ignoring the original star wars fan base but I feel that in this film they have redeemed themselves.
