Outstanding review, and spot on.

I'm a bit of a cantankerous curmudgeon myself, so yes - this movie had issues a'plenty. Entertaining yes, but you're right - its for another generation.

As for space battles, to me nothing quite matches the classic battle of Endor. That felt real, in a way nothing that followed did. That initial shot of coming out of hyperspace and having Endor zoom in on-screen as you (the viewer) looks out the cockpit with Lando.... still gets me every time.
