Star Wars

I absolutely loved this.

More importantly, I'm so glad I got to see it at the cinema. Some films are made for the big screen, and this is definitely one of them.

Monica's billionaire boyfriend from Friends, Jon Favreau, has done it again.

Visually, the film is epic. The story is great, and the pacing feels just right. One of the challenges of turning a TV series into a film is knowing what to cut, but this never felt rushed. Instead, it made excellent use of its runtime to tell a complete story while still giving us plenty of time with everyone's favourite tiny green troublemaker.

And yes, I'm talking about Grogu.

The little green goblin is as cute as ever, and I loved the extra time spent with him. Favreau knows exactly wha he's doing there, and frankly, so do I.

One of the biggest surprises for me was seeing the Razor Crest back in action. As someone who still has the Lego version firmly parked on their wish list, this made me happy. Seeing it souped up by the hilarious Anzellans and their tiny ship only made it better.

The only thing that felt a little strange was hearing the Hutts speak English. I completely understand why they did it. It keeps the story moving and makes things easier for the audience. But after years of subtitles and Huttese, it was a bit like hearing Chewbacca suddenly start speaking in a Yorkshire accent... "Ay'up solo, you deffo did shot first ya bastard".

Overall, this is an excellent Star Wars film that makes full use of the extra time that a cinema release allows. It expands the story, delivers spectacular visuals and gave me plenty to enjoy without forgetting what made the series work in the first place.

This is the way.
5/5

This was the perfect ending to the Star Wars Skywalker saga.

It's big, ridiculous, emotional and completely over the top.

There's so much packed into this film that at times it feels like someone at Disney had a massive checklist and was determined to tick every single box before the credits rolled.

I know this film gets a lot of stick, and I'm sure there are people who could spend several hours explaining everything that's wrong with it, but I had a blast.

I've always thought of Star Wars as a massive Space Opera, and this feels exactly like the ridiculously dramatic final act it deserves.

After nine films, countless lightsaber battles, several missing hands and one family causing absolute chaos across an entire galaxy...

The Skywalker saga was finally over.

5/5

Had to re-watch this after seeing The Force Awakens. This is such a Timeless film, it's a classic and iconic. Superb. 5/5

The Force really has awoken. A cracking film. I'm not going to say much about it now, I'll write a full review when it's been released on Blu-Ray/Digital Download. 5/5

Classic and superb, I must have seen this 100 times. I really want to watch the original film without all the new special fx. 5/5

Bit boring compared to the first, although we did get to see Yoda. Still a classic. 4/5

In preparation for the new Star Wars film, I'm going to watch the previous 6.... In the correct order.
I must have seen this about 100 times but there's still so much that happens that I don't remember.

A brilliant film and still hard to believe that it was made in '77. 5/5

Back before Indiana Jones was a teacher he was a Space Cowboy. He travelled the galaxy with his human dog like friend. Met up with this dude from a world that has 2 suns and they set off to bring down Darth Joffi Jaffa Vader, The King of Zamunda Empire. Anyway, they blow up this egg thing then party time! Wooo! 5/5
