As a Star Wars fan, I highly recommend The Last Jedi

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2017)

I had been a kid growing up watching the original Star Wars trilogy from the late '70/early '80s in movie theatres during their first release so I know about the excitement that often greets these movies though I also admit I've only watched Episode II when it came to the prequel trilogy. So it's that in mind that I write this review of the second in the latest trilogy and declare this was even better than The Force Awakens. First, Mark Hamill makes a welcome return as Luke Skywalker though not having the same attitudes as his previous portrayal. I actually found this quite refreshing as it gave Hamill new nuances of his characterization. I also liked many of the new characters introduced here. Also, John Williams has not lost his touch in once again scoring another series entry. He's always the best at what he's done and this is no exception! And finally, the late Carrie Fisher does herself proud in playing Princess General Leia one more time. I especially liked her scene with Luke near the end. Great final scene with both together one last time. So, overall, I loved The Last Jedi and have no hesitation saying so!
