Best Star Wars

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2015)

The Good: great plot, aesthetically pleasing visuals and stage-setting, humour, great screenplay, great camera work (dynamic, never a dull shot), excellent acting performance of new and old actors, good and innovative play with tropes and themes from the original, interesting continuation of the Star Wars franchise (world building), great finale, great use of pathos, real world settings and finally great and convincing special effects.
The Bad: Phasma is out of place in the main narrative, often breaks suspense. The CGI Maz Kanata was also a bit out of place in a movie which prided itself with practical effects like the originals.
