Here it goes…
My favourite Star Wars film, encapsulates everything I love about the science fiction genre, adventure genre, and just film in general. Absolutely stunning to look at. Phenomenally directed. Passionately acted. And perhaps the saga’s most thought-provoking and nuanced picture. Yes, it’s flawed to a huge degree, and I can completely understand why it’s so divisive, but this one’s the one I’ve resonated with and enjoyed the most over the years. More than a Star Wars film for me.
NOTE: I view this still part of the Star Wars canon, but not really part of its trilogy. Kind of a standalone film, for me.
