An end to the Jedi? Why can't we get rid of the fanboys...??

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2018)

I like the whole Star Wars thing, i like it a lot. Seen all of the movies, bought them all on various formats from VHS, LD and onwards. Yes, I really do like Star Wars. Am I a fanboy? Hell no. And that's a good thing. I'm not locked in to all of this crazy mythology that appears to have been translated verbatim from some deity and then brought down on stone tablets by Moses for us all to devour. There are no 'rules' here, nothing we can't change and have a bit of fun with. We can do whatever we want with this universe, it doesn't exist, we're making it up as we go along. Do you supposed fans out there in Geekland understand that very simple fact? Somehow, I doubt it...
What we should all be asking is simply this: Did we enjoy it? Was it entertaining, was it fun? Did the plot take us anywhere interesting and, most importantly, are we all up for more of the same? For me, at least, the answer must be yes, yes and absolutely YES!
Prior to this movie, my favourite of the Star Wars movies had been TESB, and last year's Rogue One aside, that may well still be the case. But it's a close thing. Like everything else in life, Star Wars needs to evolve. Well, with The Last Jedi, that is happening. Strap yourself in, it hasn't finished yet.
