Reboot of A New Hope

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2019)

Who are we kidding, this is a retread of A New Hope. It's fun and interesting, but it's not original or worth the long wait. Lucas was a visionary storyteller, but selling to mega corporations like Disney, was not a great move for the fans. I enjoyed this film, but it is not even remotely close to Lucas's style. Say what you will about the prequel saga, at least it wasn't recycling plots, or replicating story beats. Another Death Star. That was done in the original saga. Great range of characters, but this is only for the masses. The sequel would deliver an original storyline and leave us in some interesting places for the concluding episode.
