The Star Wars Universe has expanded massively yet despite the undoubted quality of the
offshoots (notably the superb Andor) they are a fairly long way from the
tone of the 1977 original. Here though is a branch of the tale that indulges in
exactly the same fast paced action orientated type of story that lit the fuse. The Mandalorian and Groku hardly rests,
pinwheeling from one place to another frantic to throw our unusual heroes into
ever more perilous situations. What you gain from the action you do tend to
lose in terms of character but this is a film that brings the fun back to big
screen Star Wars.
