A Star Wars Movie That Was Needed

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2019)

Short review here, since there are already thousands of others making their voices heard ....
In essence, I really liked this movie. It's still not a great movie by any means, but honestly, how many of the nine Skywalker movies have been "great"? I hope that everyone who complains about this movie not living up to the legacy of Star Wars remembers that the legacy has been broken for a long time.
This particular movie righted some of the wrongs of The Last Jedi, touched briefly on touchstones of all previous eight movies, and told a pretty good story along the way. In the end, I breathed a sigh of relief that at least this "last" movie wrapped things up fairly well. It's a solid "B" all around, which is what we all needed at this stage in the saga's history.
