Better Than Episodes 1 and 2

Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2019)

Somewhere there should be a review from one of us who gave this a positive scor - mine 7/10.. The re-intro to Luke is a bit ho-hum. Indeed, the first half of the movie is a bit substandard. But the action picks up in the second half and the story is advanced. It's visually stunning, and there are some things unexpected that apparently upset the rigid Star Wars nuts. Still I give it 7/10 and rank it ahead of Episodes 1 and 2. Now the hardcore can go after my lack of Roman Numerals. For the record, I rank the episodes: 5, 4, 6, 3 (all 10/10), 7 (9/10), 6 (7/10), 2 (6/10) and 1 (4/0) Episode 1 is the only bad movie of the Saga.
