This is the journal header. Nothing to see here, get to reading the actual journal yah goof!
So went to see The Last Jedi last night. (Fear not, no spoilers ahead).
Yeah, it was alright. That's about the long and short of it really.
If you're a Star Wars fan, see it. But personally I thought Rogue One was better, and still the one to beat for Disney Star Wars films.
It had it's flaws, there's plenty of cheesy humour (then again, the original trilogy had it's fair share of hammy moments so nothing new there). There's a fair bit of faff, but it moves the overarching plot of the new trilogy forwards enough to keep you invested.
The action scenes are also nicely varied and don't feel samey as the movie goes on.
Poor ol' Carrie Fisher though, it's obvious she was flagging during filming but puts up a damn good performance despite her advancing age and potential health issues at the time (and even has a couple of badass moments).
Mark Hamill makes a good return, and his own age adds a grizzled, "tired of it all" edge to Luke Skywalker.
That's about all I can say without going into too much detail and giving away anything. My recommendation, see it for sure. It's not the best SW film, but it's by far from being the worst and has plenty to entertain even a non-Star Wars lover.

Also, our princess was great in the movie. She will be missed.
