So many things I loved about this - the opportunity to experience Star Wars in unfamiliar territory being chief among them.

I found the first half to be endlessly engaging, a true page-turner. The second half… wasn’t for me, though I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Many new heroes I love and new villains to hate.

As someone who has been frustrated with Star Wars lately, focusing all their attention on middling TV shows, this was a welcome change of pace. I love you, Star Wars!
