over the last 11 days we have made our way through all of the star wars movies in order - number order, not release order - sorry all you die hard fans. we even included rogue one which we slotted in after number 6 and ended with solo.
well. i don't hate them. in fact, i have never hated them, i've just never really had the desire to watch them all. i've watched 1-6 with doug at home after the girl we bought our house from insisted it was important now we had a big screen. i saw attack of the clones at the cinema years ago with friends, doug and i saw the last jedi at the cinema... then we got joseph a kids garmin watch this past christmas which was a star wars one. it comes with a game which you get moves in depending on how many steps you take for the day. he started to recognise the characters, asked doug about them and next thing you know, it's a movie a night for 11 nights. thank goodness for having nothing else to do or i don't know how well we would have handled it.
so. here's my opinion.
i like the remastered versions of the old ones a lot more. they are nice and clean and easy to watch. i had a look at one of the old ones on the special edition dvds doug has (i married him having no idea h was into these?) and wasn't that impressed. thank you modern editing.
the story line isn't bad. i quite liked it all by the end.
contrary to reviews, i liked the rise of skywalker. i thought it was a pretty good ending!
anddddd
i really, really, liked solo. enough that i would probably watch it again. i thought their casting of the young han solo was great and i loved watching his back story. possibly even my favourite of the series. although, i am well aware it didn't do well. meh.
kids mate. it kept them entertained for a week and a half. wonder what we will move onto next?
