Mixed feelings

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2019)

I was excited and nervous for this film. So just want to say first of all this is a good film if it wasn't tied to a story that I and so many others love...
First of all, the Skywalker saga. Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one. He was to bring balance to the force. You could argue that he did in episode XI. But in my opinion they almost completely ignored that and brought back the emperor which conflicts with Anakins contribution to bring balance to the force. They try to remedy it by having him say in the film bring balance to the force, as I did". (Not exact quote) This is not what anyone wanted
This film was just chaos until the end. It's like someone doing their Christmas shopping last minute, everyone running around.
The story was too thin. I kinda liked the end because I realized that they, as mentioned before, ignored Anakin's saga. So if they had to ignore him then this ending was OK.
The use of force in this film was not like any of the other trilogies. They once again ignored the logic of the other films. Too OP.
I am not a super hardcore Star Wars fan. I haven't read that much (Star Wars) but Star Wars is and always will be my favorite saga. The movies and TV shows that I have watched are my favorites. So I don't have the knowledge to tell you everything they did wrong compared to George Lucas's vision but these are my first thoughts after thinking about it w while.
