Mediocre - Not Bad But A Good Tribute To Carrie Fisher.

Rating: 5/10 (2 January 2018)

Being an ardent Star Wars fan and having watched every single movie since the first one was released in 1977, I was looking forward to watching this one. It starts off in the normal way, which was good as it keeps with the normal Star Wars style.
Daisy Ridley, continues well to play the character that she did in "Force Awakens," as do Joh Boyega as "Finn" and Adam Driver as "ben Solo." The late Carrie Fisher, who has been playing the role of "Princess Leia.' ever since the first one was released all those years ago, along with Mark Hamil as "Luke Sky Walker," are also good in their roles. But perhaps the writers could have introduced "Rey" and "Luke Skywalker" earlier then they did and this could have got the public a bit more interested in the plot. The action sequences were predictable at all times, while the sound effects were excellent and worthwhile listening out for. The cinematography is also good and for those interested in it, I would suggest viewing this movie. It was also good to see some of the old and original characters back - Chewbacca, R2D2 and C3PO. The only issue is that the movie drags on a bit.
Conclusion: If you are a Star Wars fan, then don't expect much out of this but it would be worth just to see it once. And for those wanting to pay a tribute to Carrie Fisher, then its definitely worth watching. What let's this episode of Star Wars down, is not just that its dragging at times and the length of the movie itself, but also it has two plots running along at the same time.
Possible chances of next episode of Star Wars? Don't know. Let's just wait and see.
