A rip roaring space opera of a movie !

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2017)

This is an entertaining, rip-roaring, space opera of a movie. Not since the original Raiders of the Lost Ark or the first Star Wars series have I seen such an enjoyable Matinee style adventure movie. Some old favourites hand over to a new generation of Star Wars characters and we even see the Ewoks done right with the brief Porg scenes. The director is a fan and it shows through his care and attention to detail. I think that cinema history will judge this film much more kindly than some of the IMDB reviewers - the professional critics are right this time.
