Review: This movie is great. Let’s just go to the positives. The action scenes were great and enjoyable than first two installments. The VFX was a lot better and alluring to watch unfold. Luke’s story arc was the most compelling in the movie. The dramatic tension between Darth Vader, Luke and the Emperor created an engulfing progression toward the climax of the film. The finale became really emotional and joyful simultaneously. The sub-plot of the Ewoks moved the movie towards a new feeling for the audience. They added a new layer of dramatic story function to the entertainment (it is no wonder, they appeared on TV, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985)). The space battles in outer space didn’t feel as great as the two.
Recommendation: In the end episode 6 is a great way to end a trilogy with fun and excitement for everyone.

Tyler Perry is the critical elephant in the room as Hollywood elites discuss diversity. When Carnal Knowledge (Mike Nichols) came out in 1971, I was twelve. The name sent shivers up my spine.
