Does what's required, and rather well

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2020)

Hardly original, but the Star Wars series is pulp trash, not highbrow SciFi... so we can forgive it that. Flashy camerawork, witty self-referential and 4th wall breaking dialogue, shameless fan service? Yes please! I watch Star Wars to be entertained in only the most superficial way... otherwise I wouldn't be able to re-watch the original trilogy. None of this was ever meant to be taken seriously. Watching this movie makes me feel like the 5 year old child I was back in 1977 watching the very first movie. Thank you for that J J!
