Star Wars The Last Jedi [View all]

Went to see the movie this morning. Two words - Totally awesome!

I could have sat through it a second time. I go on vacation next weekend and will have to consider going again.

Good cast
Good sub-plots
Just the right amount of humerous moments
Cuteness meter reading for critters - off the charts. Cutest critters of all the Star Wars movies.
