One of the Best Star Wars Movies
Repeat viewings of the The Empire Strikes Back are a must. These movies are some of my favorite of all time. This movie in particular is so jam-packed with amazing acting, cinematography and action that there is nothing not to love. I will always be a fan of this film.

Best Star Wars game yet from a visual perspective (3 more)
Game-play is addictive and challenging
Free DLC so far from EA/Dice has only made game better
The whole 'Microtransactions' saga was unfounded and people who jumped on the bandwagon should actually play the game first before judging.

Well I finally saw it. It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it better than its two predecessors. The only problem I had with it was that it tried to put too much into this one film. They could've spread the story out more through the trilogy and made them all much better. That being said, this is a must watch for any Star Wars fans. A good end to a long run. Worth a watch.

I don't feel like I need to rehash the story, as most people already know. For those who don't already know, you should. With that being said, go watch this now. One of (if not the singular most) important films in sci fi (perhaps all film) history.
It is my opinion that this is the best of all Star Wars productions to date. You can't change my mind, though I don't think many would bother trying.

The homage to Obi-won’s sacrifice in New Hope when Luke does the same thing for Leia and the handful of rebels. (2 more)
The teaming up for Rey and Ben with guards.i was looking forward to this movie. I have always been a Star Wars fan with R2D2 being my favorite droid. I think the change of director changed the story’s vision a little. I wished
The death of the supreme leader.

To Infinity and Beyond?
Toy Story spinoff featuring one of their most famous characters, here voiced by Chris Evans rather than Tim Allen.
Cue card at the start of the film states something along the lines that 'In 1995, a bit called Andy received a new toy based on his favourite movie. This is that movie'.
So, we have what is in effect a prequel of sorts - this version of Buzz is not a toy, nor is there and Woody or any of the other gang from those films. Instead, we have a very obviously Star Wars/Star Trek inspired movie, with a few twists along the way and some (as expected) drop dead gorgeous animation!

Aug 2, 2017
This is Carrie Fisher's memoir of her time during the filming of Star Wars Episode IV, including entries from the diaries she kept during that time that she recently discovered. I think this was the first time that Fisher really talked about her relationship with Leia, and what Leia has offered to her over the years. She also talks about her fans, and how much they mean to her and everything about the ending of the book was so much more heartbreaking given the circumstances. I was genuinely surprised by how touching her closing chapters were, in regards to her relationship with Leia and the Star Wars community as a whole.
It was a little surreal reading this so soon after both her death and her mother's, as she talks frequently about her mother in the book, as well as mentioning a couple of times, in an offhand manner, how she would like to be remembered for certain events. Perhaps it was too soon for me after her death. Not that I was ever necessarily a huge Carrie Fisher fan, but I've certainly been a Star Wars fan my whole life (I saw the original Star Wars when it was released - I was 3), so while there was never necessarily a Carrie Fisher in a my life, there has always been a Princess Leia, and it seemed to hit home a little for me. It also made me unreasonably angry that Carrie Fisher died; in a year of so many celebrity deaths, it seemed like just another death to some, but it made me angry because she overcame so much, and still had so much to do and offer to the world. So, yeah - maybe I should have put a little time in between her death and reading this book, knowing it was her last, but it seemed like the thing to do at the time. It is typically funny in that Carrie Fisher way, but equally sad given the circumstances. I fairly certain, however, that again, in that typically funny Carrie Fisher way, she would have found some way to turn her death into an appropriate epilogue to this book.

The best Star Wars game so far!
After many years without a Star Wars game with a proper campaign, this truly delivers something excellent to the fans.
The story follows Cal, a survivor of the purge, and his mission to find a list of force sensitive individuals. It has a great story, that takes you to several planets from the Star Wars franchise, some new, some old favourites that I'm pretty sure we've all wanted to find out more about.
In the game, you have freedom to do whatever you want, and view the Incredible scenery around, but the maps are quite limiting compared to what they could have been. There are set paths, and doesn't allow for much more exploration outside the missions, a Grand Theft Auto style free roam would be better, maps representative of large islands instead.
Exploration can also be made difficult by the holomap, as it shows multiple transparent levels, making it difficult, sometimes impossible to figure out where you're supposed to go.
The characters for the most part are brilliantly written, each one reminiscent of other characters from the franchise, but all still individuals. The best character addition to the Star Wars canon is most likely the droid that sits on your shoulder for most of the game, BD-1, a handy little guy with the personality of R2 (seriously, if BD had a Lego model, I'd buy it, he's that cool).
The game is not the hack and slash game you expect, but improves upon it with quite a few puzzles to stop you from getting bored, requiring moving objects with the force to allow entry to other areas.
Finally, customisation. The different skins for the ship, BD-1 and Cal are pretty pointless, but when it comes to the lightsaber, the possibilities and upgrades are brilliant, allowing for other colours (apart from red, which was quite disappointing), but with colours, looks, and upgrades, it can keep you amused for ages!
Enjoy everyone!
P.S. Don't bother with the Deluxe Edition, thr extras it includes add absolutely nothing to the enjoyment of the game.
