Abrams saved the franchise

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2019)

I grew up with the originals, so I am very emotionally invested into this storyline. I was not a huge fan of episode seven, and I out right hated episode eight with a passion. Rian Johnson almost destroyed the franchise, but JJ Abrams just saved it.
The pace is fast, the action is everywhere, and the storyline makes sense. Everything just works. Abrams is a brilliant storyteller and Driver and Ridley are great actors. Will definitely be seeing a second time.
Thank you J.J.
