Not entirely perfect, but a heck of a great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2019)

Ok so most if you have seen Rise of Skywalker but I'm not into spoiling anyway. I thought the film was entertaining, I cared about what happened to the characters, I liked the new editions, I appreciate the humor involved and the story kept my attention.
Was it different than Last Jedi - YES.
Was there a lot of things that fans wanted to see - YES.
But why does making a movie that at least somewhat caters to what fans want sound like such a bad thing???? I watch Star Wars because I want to continue the stories I grew up with! And Episode IX checked all the boxes for me as a life long Star Wars fan!
