The rebellion faces renewed danger as a young pilot travels to a remote world to learn the ways of the Jedi from an eccentric master. Meanwhile, rebel leaders and their companions flee relentless Imperial pursuit, confronting peril, difficult choices, and an increasingly personal conflict with the enemy.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an iconic space adventure with strong character chemistry, memorable action, and a darker edge; Not for you if dated effects or slower training scenes frustrate you.
