Star Wars "fans" are honestly the worst

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2019)

It's honestly sad to see how much hate is already spreading about this movie. Is it perfect? No. Are the effects, acting, and pacing done well? Yes. Did JJ do the best job he could to finalize the Skywalker saga? I personally think so, here's why.
Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver brought their A-game to this film and it shows. They convey so much emotion throughout the film and you can feel their pain, frustration, and agony as the story unwinds. Carrie Fischer also gave it her all in the final installment and when Chewbacca mourned her, I tested up.
In the end, everyone that bashed on this movie went into it already having a vendetta against it. I went in with lowered expectations and I was pleasantly surprised with how good the film was. This was never going to be a citizen Kane...people need to realize that. I would LOVE to see a person that hated on this film direct a better one. People complaining about the dialogue need to watch the OT and the prequels, like seriously, their are WAY to many cringeworthy lines to even list in them.
People complaining about Palpitine being alive don't realize how powerful and smart he actually was. He was a mastermind and always had backup plans for his backup plans. It's not a stretch at all that he was alive and that he was a master of prolonging death (a power that all Sith strive for). He did it for Vader on Mustafar, who's to say he couldn't do it for himself?

Also, "fans" want 100% fan service but they also want a complete original Star Wars film with no tie in to the originals. Which one is it, you can't have both. Watching this movie in IMAX was breathtaking and my theater was so non reactive and boring it almost made me mad. I feel like the magic of Star Wars is gone for them and that sounds like a personal problem. Me, I chose to sit in the theater and become fully entrenched in the lore, universe and characters and to me that makes my heart happy.
Go into this film with a clean slate and you will not be disappointed.
