Haven’t seen it, but I heard it’s a really bad quality rip-off of the story in the first Star Wars, incredibly lacking in originality. To the point where any criticisms against how references to the original trilogy were handled in the prequels make Lucas seem like a master of subtlety…
Is that the feeling a lot of other Star Wars fans have that have already seen it?
It’s a well made, fun movie with genuinely lovable and empathetic characters.
Sure, the plot is predictable and too reliant on ANH, but the characters and the energy of the direction makes up for it.
