Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

It's good. It's really good.

There has been some backlash among some fans, some anger that has divided the fan base. But it's better to throw all that to the side and just talk about the movie in and of itself. It may not be my favorite all-time film in the franchise, but it is close to the top of the pile.

It's funny that I liked it so much considering that the experience of enjoying it in the theater was so crazy and ruinous. Lisa ordered 6 tickets online, and we should have all been in the same row C of theater 14. When we got to the theater and printed the tickets, we found we were in three different rows of theater 13. Something with Fandango didn't sell enough tickets so they shuffled everyone into the next theater. And by shuffled, that meant we were all separate rows; A, E and C. I sat by myself, next to a total stranger who fell asleep four times and snored loudly. We got refunded for all the tickets and new passes for another show, but I still never want to go back to that theater.

Despite all that, the movie was a great ride. Two and a half hours of Star Wars action and story. It was wonderful. I can't wait to see it again.
