My Take on it – As an unabashed fan of all things Star Wars, I was intrigued to watch this behind the scenes look at the final film of the entire series.

The way that this film presents interviews with the cast and crew of the films of the entire 9 movies of the saga is done really well because it all converges and culminates with the final movie in the entire series.
