SPOILER FREE MOVIE REVIEW: "Star Wars: The Last Jedi"

The Force is strong with this one! We saw "Star Wars: The Last Jedi". I loved it! I felt it was better than "Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back". It was constant story and action. It didn't feel at all like a two and a half hour movie. It was fun. It wasn't predictable. It was beautiful.

It was so nice to see Mark Hamill act. It was so sad to see the last of Carrie Fisher. Daisy Ridley does an excellent job as Rey. Adam Driver as Kylo Ren was so good. Laura Dern has a strong part. Benicio Del Toro has a perfect part. John Boyega and Oscar Isaac are back as Finn and Poe. A new regular, I hope, was introduced, Rose played by Kelly Marie Tran.

The story revolves around Rey training with Luke Skywalker who finds her strength in the Force unsettling. The Resistance faces the First Order and it's quite a fight. The special effects as always are excellent. The scenery is beautiful.

You will run across some naysayers who don't like the movie. Don't let them discourage you. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed it.

So go. Have fun. Eat popcorn.
