An unexpected watch after just walking in randomly into a showing. This beats its predecessor by a mile with superb action, sound, and visual effects, as well as epic storytelling and stellar acting from the ensemble cast. Special shout outs to Austin Butler-Presley and Rebecca Mother-Ferguson. Runtime could have been a tad shorter, but the build-up to the final battle (and Paul as the One) did pay off in this climactic conclusion. Master Skywalker would disapprove of the plentiful sand though.
