Haters hate because it's not their head-Canon...

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2019)

"Fans" hated The Force Awakens because it took the Skywalker saga in a different direction by introducing a completely different set of circumstances than what they had in the Expanded Universe. "Fans" hated The Last Jedi because they didn't get what they thought should happen. And "fans" hate this movie because it ends the Skywalker saga in a way they didn't expect. For the past 2 years, we've had tons of fan theories, suppositions, and guesses as to what would happen...and now that the movie is out, these same people are literally finding (read: making up) BS reasons to hate this film...and what it all boils down to is this film they didn't make is following a story line they didn't write and is going to make money they can't benefit from.
If you go into this with preconceived head-Canon, then you're going to hate it...because as Luke said in TLJ, "this is not going to go the way you think." But if you go into it with the understanding that it is it's own story with it's own details and own ending and your looking to be entertained...then do so and have a ball. I did, as did my son.
If you want spoilers, read a different review. All I can say is I loved this movie and can't wait to get the BluRay to see all the extras.
