Celebrated #MayThe4thBeWithYou with a rewatch of The Force Awakens and reminding myself much I enjoyed first seeing it nine years ago. Mainly because it was fun - F-U-N - in a way the prequels hadn't been. Even Harrison Ford seemed like he was enjoying himself.

I enjoyed The Last Jedi too, but on a different level - because it thwarted expectations at every turn and actually had a message for the audience - that your bloodline is not what makes you a hero, and that there is a difference between heroism and leadership.

And then there's The Rise of Skywalker, which is.... very average (the title sucks too) and an object lesson in why you shouldn't tailor your movies to the opinions of angry internet nerds. Plus it climaxes with the most tired film fantasy trope (hero & villain shooting lightning at each other).
