   Not really. Still just a tired rehash / reboot of what has already been   
   done before - the Rebels (oops, "Resistance") fleeing the Empire (opps,   
   "First Order"), a ground battle on an ice (opps, "salt") planet, the   
   Sith sidekick turning on his Master, ...   
      
   In terms of actually *new* Star Wars movies, both Rogue One and Solo   
   are much better additions to the franchise, but those too are full of   
   "Politically Correct" silliness simply for the sake of it.
