One of the best SW movies

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2019)

I love the original episodes 4-6 and thought Lucas' 1-3 episodes were okay. This movie was amazing!!! I knew nothing going in, and loved every minute of it. There are plenty of surprises in the movie, all of which I didn't see coming and loved - one in particular. I also cried a lot, sometimes from the story and other times from the significance of moments. It has a lot of action, beautiful scenes/cinematography, well-done expansion of the SW world without it seeming out of place (like the casino scenes in episode 8), and most importantly good character closure (Adam Driver in particular really stands out). The ending I found very touching. The only criticism is that I would like to have seen the characters interact more, but I also feel that way about episodes 4-6.
Don't listen to other people. If you're a Star Wars fan, don't read any spoilers and see it yourself. It's a lot of fun and a touching ending to the Skywalker series.
