I think it fares extraordinarily well. Just wait til’ you guys see the first 10 minutes. I think it stands out really well. Obviously, I can’t really spoil anything, but the movie takes enough of its own unique twists and turns that it manages to become its own individual piece.

Personally, I think the script we have now just manages to ease newcomers in a lot better. There are minor references to canon, but they’re done so subtlely, anyone can follow it.
