I was planning my trip to Skellig Michael for the end of July 2019, when I got the urge to rewatch the original trilogy. I was trying to get a feel for how the original trilogy was written and perceived as it came out.
I actually watched Ep 4 and 5 properly for the first time since I can remember back in 2016, but never finished off the trilogy. This time I did.
I went in thinking this movie was widely criticised, some people calling it the beginning of the downfall of Star Wars as George Lucas started meddling more and trying to make it marketable to children. But I enjoyed it, and Matthew and Darren certainly stick up for strongly. It has a strong and important character story to it, and I liked the action. Having "another Death Star" and "another Skywalker relationship reveal" seemed a bit limp, but it didn't undermine the main plot.
