“On both sides of the argument (and the Force) we also have ex-Jedi and their students (this is a very female series, there's never been so many good and bad heroes in one entry in this franchise), which makes it all the more. interesting, more interesting” wrote Bartosz Godzinski in a naTemat review.

Curious from the second last room, because on the sofa They won't sit down: they won't watch nonsense). But stay away from “their movies”: superheroes, thrillers, science fiction. In them, men should drive, women can help and look beautiful” – Ola Gers wrote about this in his text.
