    Pretty good war film, interesting story and famed for being filmed to look like its one long shot (its not, there are several obvious cuts).  Watched it on my PC via Amazon Prime with some 3d surround sound haptic headphones on - there is one bit in particular near(ish) the beginning of the film that really immersed you into the action.  Overall the cinematography and sound were excellent, story was fairly straight forwards.
    Solid 7/10 maybe 8/10+ if war movies are your thing ?

    Exactly - which I why I'm looking forwards to these new tv shows, they have the potential to be edgier or darker than the movies, which were always sci-fi light, good vs evil, family friendly affairs.
    The best Star Wars stuff has always been in the Expanded Universe tbh, for any nerds out there such as myself a lot of this stuff is essential reading ?

    What people forget is that when they watched the first ones they were kids and loved it. By the time the prequels came out, they’d grown up but Star Wars hadn’t.

    If you started from episode one, that would be a fair assessment. 
    it’s funny that the first 3 have their critics, and the last 3 certainly do, and a lot of people weren’t too happy with return of the Jedi when it came out. So out of 9 films, there’s only really 2 that are actually universally loved and appreciated. And they’re the oldest two. So all the new dangled technology and big budgets hasn’t really helped it at all. 
    more important than the films though is the universe, the history, the mythology that Lucas created. Which allows for a million different stories to be told (hence why we’re getting a million new series). The Skywalker saga is just one story in one period of history in a galaxy far far away.

    Dunno tbh.
    I just checked my Epic account and I can connect it to xbox, so I guess you might be able to get the Epic Store on your xbox - but I don't have one so can't say for sure.  Can't imagine the deals would be PC only though if you can access it on xbox.

    He is changed man. That was over 20 seconds talk and he didn't mention himself even once.
    His knowledge of football, unfortunately, hasn't changed at all.
