i hope everyone now realises how good George Lucas was!

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2018)

I give it 5 stars, there is half a good movie here. Great visuals. And of course, an amazing soundtrack.
I love the 6 film cycle because it is one true story from one man's vision (and hundreds of great artists). But it is now clear that, despite the fun of The Force Awakens, there is no planned-out continuing story for this sequel trilogy. What a shame we don't get to see George Lucas's sequel triology. But people attacked him and complained about the prequels.
I don't normally write reviews, but I felt obliged too here and on Rotten Tomatoes, because the ratings seem way to high, and most revoiws I am reading from fans are negative. Most general audience people I know and have read, are happy with the movie, like I would happy with a Marvel movie. But anyone who is emotionally attached to Star Wars is probably going to come out of this movie feeling empty and disappointed; much more so than the Phantom Menace. Episode 1, which i think is the weakest, is pretty dull and boring in many places, but it is still part of an epic story.
