Interesting, Satisfying and Hopeful

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

I am a fan (not a super fan) of the Star Wars universe and I thought this movie was a lot of fun. While I do not believe the plot was ironed out completely; I do believe this film to be a satisfying ending to the saga. It has a ton of fan service, great special effects, amazing space battles, some fun lightsaber duels, a compelling inner conflict narrative, solid acting (especially from Adam Driver) and some shocking moments. The overall tone of the movie was dark, but one could always see a bit of light shining through. While not the best Star Wars film, it was a film that kept me interested, satisfied and hopeful for the future of the franchise!
