Only Disney Star Wars that comes close to George Lucas

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2018)

I don't understand the hate for this movie. In my opinion it is by far the best Disney SW movie and the only one I wish I had seen in theaters. Echoes of The Empire Strikes Back for sure but not a hack remake like The Force Awakens or a B-movie with a blockbuster budget like Solo or Rogue 1. The new actors are fine, Mark Hamill does a good job and so does Carrie Fisher. Luke's island and the casino are visually cool. Is it my favorite Star Wars movie? No, not by a long shot, but it's the only Disney one that tries to be anything more than mindless entertainment. After TFA I almost didn't even watch this but I'm glad I did and I'm actually excited now for the conclusion to the story.
