Brilliant movie and fitting ending for the saga

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2019)

I avoided all reviews and all other opinions for a week and then went to see the movie. I was not disappointed.
I have been following these films since I was a kid, and this is one of the best. The unfortunate loss of Carrie Fisher and the use of a restricted amount of footage did make her a limited part of the story, but other than that this was an exiting and very enjoyable film.
Perhaps I have gone soft in my old age, but on a couple of occasions tears ran down my face, and at other times I became tense wondering what was about to happen.
Set aside your prejudices and expectations and go and enjoy this film as a roller coaster ride that it is. Enjoy it with the eyes of a child just like you did the first time you saw Star Wars.
