My The Rise of Skywalker review: the story didn’t make sense and it wasn’t a good way to end the saga. I’d have preferred almost anything else. 2 out of 5.

My Return of the Jedi review: the Ewoks put people off but I loved it, from Han’s rescue to Endor to Vader and the Emperor. Better than Empire for me.
My The Empire Strikes Back review: the Hoth battle, Luke and the wampa, Yoda, Cloud City and Vader’s reveal. One of the darkest endings ever. 10 out of 5.
