This ends like the first chapter of the story I feel. Honestly this bit reminds me of a DnD campaign where the dm has a thousand pages of back story but due to only playing a couple of hours per week, the players never learn it. There’s just so much tossed out there. Take General Grievous. Ok. He pops up, and is pretty much ended in the first act. Like what was the point of that? And there’s a lot of that. Like I said, the story seems to work better in serial format where there is enough time to actually establish characters. Now the final fight on Mustafar is again visually stunning. It really is gorgeous. But Yoda fights the emperor? Why? Who cares? One cgi character having a go just isn’t really all that impactful. Granted I do feel that the prequels really do have a serious problem in that we already knew that the bad guys are going to win. So a series like Star Wars ending on such a down beat is always going to be a hard sell. But I just found myself not caring through so much of this movie. Well, Disney plus says Solo is my next show. I saw this in the theatre with my girls and, unlike the many, many (oh so freaking many) complaints that this was the worst movie ever, I had fun. And my girls had fun. It was worth the price of admission. We’ll see how it holds up on rewatch.</blockquote>
