TRAVIS BYRAM'S MOVIE REVIEWS

With a number of people I exchanged this scary thought: I wasn't as hyped for The Last Jedi as I was two years ago for The Force Awakens . And then they did something even scarier: they agreed with me. For Episode VII , there were many factors in its favor: there hadn't been a live-action Star Wars film in a decade, there hadn't been a good Star Wars movie since 1983 (alright, that one is my opinion), Disney had bought Lucasfilm and Daisy Ridley was an unknown for the lead.

Son, I was RAISED on "The Lion King," and if I had had the opportunity to see it in 3D last year, something everybody did, I would've.  The justification of seeing these 90's jewel...
