I love Star Wars, especially the first three, the second three, not so much, but still enjoyable
When the first Star Wars came out, it knocked my socks off. I had only recently seen"Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" . The last half hour was just wonderful.--_before those two films there was 'War Of The Worlds '(1953) Forbidden Planet (1956) and' Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.'(1956) As an 11 year old, I also loved "Robby The Robert and the Invisible Boy" (1957) . Australia had strict censorship at that time so we never got to see most horror movies being churned out by Hollywood at the time. Very slim pickings.
Rogue One; pretty good.
The Last Jedi; OK, not wonderful.
Solo: I enjoyed it. I liked the back story.
Was annoyed when I learnt Disney had bought the franchise. I presume future films will be made by Touchstone. Even so, I suspect Disney may follow the old formula of trying to offend as few people as possible, which tends to produce some really boring shit.
PS am also enjoying Star Trek Discovery on Netflix.
