Fitting end for a beautiful saga.

Wow, why all the hate?
Don't buy into the hype or the hate. Make your own path and decision whether you like the movie.
I really enjoyed this movie and to be quite honest with you I enjoyed all the star wars movies for the most part. Lowest points being the gungans and political lagging from some of the prequels.
There were several scenes where I welled up throughout the movie.
Scenes with fairwells to the old guard and then scenes where the crescendo of light meets dark and then the final fairwell scene at the end.
It was very movie and expertly done.
I think people that hate it are perhaps diving too deep on the technical aspect of everything.
I went with a open mind and accepted and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now Spoilers:
The scene where Rey inched closer to palpatine with the lightsaber as he force lightning her was very reminiscent of Mace Windu confrontation where the lightning begins to bounce back until he is defeated. I thiink Mace windu would have ended him in very much the same way if it wasn't for anakin. It was a nice throw back and the sheer weight knowing she had the force and all those past jedi behind her was wonderful.
Sharing lifeforce by the force was a nice touch, essentially we got to see how force healing had worked and how the emperor must have survived. He was a nexus point for the darkside and again really cool effort on the special effects and seeing him absorb the lifeforce of rey and kylo was cool.
Lukes force ghost catch of the lightsaber and then motivating prep talk to put Rey back on the right path was exactly what she needed to hear at the right time. I can see some people trying to complain that force ghosts can't touch stuff and moaning, but lets remember. Luke was powerful and the likes of him hadn't been seen before.
Rey entering the old deathstar and seeing her climb up and around what looks like the same pillar and console where Obi wan previously disabled the shields in Episode IV. Wonderful throwback!
The scene where you see the emperors old throne chair and the smashed up windows and hidden chamber that acted like the testing cave luke did on Dagobah. It made sense as well, a convergence of the dark side in a area. So Brilliant!

Things that emotionally struck me deep:
Seeing Chewie lose another of his old friends. Poor chewie has been through a lot and seen so many die. When he collapsed and wailed, it really had me in tears.
Seeing Han appear to Kylo, whether in his tortured head by his imagination or whether it was a force ghost, I don't know but the scene was beautiful.
The X-Wing rising out of where it had been left. Scene for scene like what happened on Dagobah. Seeing Rey take up both lightsabres and wear lukes flight helmet. Emotionally Moving. She was truly becoming part of the skywalker family and essentially adopted and directed by the family legacy at this point.
The final scene. Binary sunset is probably my favourite scene in any star wars movie and that score. This was a perfect full circle back to Tatooine with the sumbolic burying of the lightsabres amd a new chapter for Rey. I was left with no doubt she will restore the Jedi now with force sensitive Finn as one of her first pupils.
