And appropriate for kids of all ages.When I was a kid, my favorite Star Wars stories weren’t in the movies. Don’t go too deep or too edgy or too complicated, just make sure people don’t hate it.Īnyway, I’m hoping the plots gets better and the rest stays good. I was shocked!īasically, it felt like they were going for. Why do they even have shafts? ( I kept thinking of The Emperor’s New Groove.) There’s a death that is very reminiscent of a death in the original trilogy. BUT ITS REALLY BIG! People get killed and fall down shafts. I didn’t love how the plot itself was so self-derivative. But what I liked was when they put nods to the original movies in a new setting, like the lightsaber in the snow, wiggling.
Wasn’t even really explained (who made the map? Why not ask that guy? What if the person you’re looking for has, ya know, changed location? People do that.)Ĭlearly the nostalgia factor was high. Isn’t a thing ( unless you’re Maroon 5) and B. Pretty much the whole plot was trying to find a map. I appreciated that they went simple with the plot after the prequels and their Senate resolutions and trade agreements and Midichlorians and other unnecessarily complicated plots.īut I think maybe they over corrected. Han spoke almost exclusively in action movie one-liners, which got old. The mature relationship between some of them is bittersweet, but seems in character. It’s wonderful to see them again, having aged as actual people do. (There are some battle scenes, but nothing gory.) I LOVED that there was no language or innuendo or suggestiveness at all. There was a realness and heft to the traditional effects that was refreshing. There’s been a lot of talk about the return to models and real stunts and film cameras (alongside digital effects), and I thought it was all worth it. So, I would have had to have a heart of stone or it would have had to be truly terrible for me not to like it. I watched it surrounded by ecstatic little boys, who loved every second of it, from the opening credits on. They also played the trivia game and no one barfed.
