Happiness

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2019)

I was 24 when the first Star Wars movie came out - it blew my mind. I soon heard that George Lucas envisioned a 9-movie epic story, but after Empire Strikes Back, it seemed like the rest of the story would never be told. Now it's been told (although not exactly as Lucas dreamed it, which possibly is a good thing - no disrespect). I'm 67 now and very happy to have witnessed the entire cycle in real time. The character of Rey is the zenith of the franchise and Daisy Ridley perfects that character in this movie. It's an extravaganza. See it.
