Hey everybody- making my annual check-in.

I liked it a lot! Maybe even love- time will tell.

At least, those were my thoughts prior to the Maul ending. Anyone who brings up the Phantom Menace around me gets a paddling (except Frink, he can do whatever he wants). I watched all of Clone Wars (not a fan) so I knew this guy was still tooling around. But still- don’t want to see it or have to think about it. (haven’t watched Rebels yet- I don’t trust anyone who says it’s good- that’s how I ended up watching 6 seasons of Clone Wars!)

And there are a couple other things I disliked, but what the heck- on the whole it was actually pretty good.

Like others, I felt like it was a little rough getting going (the scene where the Imperial Recruiter calls him “Han ForeverAlone, no… Han HomeAloneKid” was a lowpoint) but I thought everyone did a great job and it really started to cook by the end. Too bad about the TPM reference.

I almost sat this one out due to what a stinker Last Jedi was… but my office paid for my ticket and I went during business hours.

See you all in 1.5 years!
