How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling space opera that darkens the saga's tone with losses, revelations, and the sense that the Rebellion is genuinely cornered. The film balances intimate character moments with the grandeur of intergalactic conflict, leaving you suspended in uncertainty.
