I just saw it. Thoroughly entertained.
In retrospect, nobody will ever be impressed by the old Star Wars if it were new today. It Was Magic! for us, especially if we happened to be just the right age!
Nothing Lucas or anybody else could have done would have lived up to the hype in our own heads, and Eps I-III should be all the evidence you need. Sure they all had their moments.
Of the prequels, III was the most engaging for me. Perhaps it was just because of the final turning of Anakin and the birth of Darth Vader (as we grew up with Vader in our imaginations). But still, IV and V were the best.
The climatic battle between Skywalker, Vader and the Emperor in VI will always be a special moment, cinematically, as well as the culmination of that childhood fantasy...
And that goes for these final 3, too. VII was exciting! JJ Abrams did manage to breathe some life into the story when we all had various expectations. I easily could have allowed myself to be disappointed in it too. Granted VIII was more of a let down, but it was still a pretty good ride compared to everything else I've watched in recent years.
And then IX. Dark this one is. And frankly, a worthy conclusion to a story that some of us have waited almost 42 years to see play out on the Big Screen.
How many epic Star Wars battles did we create in our heads or with our action figures?
It's not surprising that people are unsatisfied.
To each their own. And for me, at least in the short term, I will continue to enjoy them!
