Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker


The kids are in bed and are still knackered.  They woke up early and while I was also awake, I waited until both went downstairs before I did the same.  While my son watched cartoons I sat and made comments to my daughter who was watching Scorpion about how they got the science wrong.  I do like the characters in the series, but the extremely sloppy science annoys me and I like to share my annoyance if I see my wife or daughter watch it.

Later though, we went to watch Star Wars.  And I loved it.  To be fair, the last really good Star Wars film was Revenge Of The Sith.   It still came up short compared to the holy trilogy of Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.  But episodes seven and eight, while enjoyable, have had a few issues.  However this film was the best of the new trilogy.  Seeing references to the original films was great and all four of us liked the film.  I do not want to say too much as I do not want to spoil the film for others.

Later, Nick and Lyndsay came round bringing her son, Hamish in tow.  We owe them lots for keeping an eye on the house while we were gone.  It was great to see them again.

Anyway, time for bed!
