Daniel’s review published on Letterboxd:
It begins. I'm seeing The Last Jedi tomorrow, so I thought there would be no better time then now to start a re-watch marathon of the original films and The Force Awakens the day before I go and see the new entry in the franchise.
As it does with millions of people across the globe: this film still and always will hold a special place in my heart. It's an incredibly fun adventure from start to finish - it made us fall in love with characters and fear others.
I absolutely adore this movie. It's barely aged a day despite coming out 40 years ago. That blows me away. I love how it set up this entire universe and introduced us to not only the characters but this whole new galaxy.
I've already spoken probably a million times about my love for this film but I thought as I'm re-watching these movies the day before I see the new one. I would throw together some quick thoughts on them. Plain and simple: I love this movie.
