maybe not for all star wars fans

Rating: 6/10 (31 December 2017)

I didn't like The Force Awakens, I thought it was lazy, predictable and badly thought out. And I didn't think Rouge one wasn't any better.
I thought this was a slight improvement, better fight scenes, a new story line. People are complaining about the jokes, didn't they watch the original trilogy? I think the Force Awakens tried too hard, yes this is a easy money grabber and hardly a great movie but it flows a bit better and at least has a new storyline. Although it could easily be an hour shorter, there are times it feels it's dragging.
New Empire, new people, new story, if people thought that because the force awakens was a remake of episode 4 they were going to get a remake of episode 5 then they will be disappointed, but that is only a good thing in my opinion.
So maybe not for all star wars fans, but if you ignore the loyalty people have for the original movies, this on its own is ok. Corny, massive plot holes, people making decisions that make no sense at all, all the time. But nice battle scenes and the right amount of cheese.
