Sugar coated it is.

Rating: 6/10 (24 December 2019)

This movie was clearly manufactured to please. It's not bad, but it is clearly a product of Hollywood and that is why I cannot fully appreciate it. Lucas was in his early SW days a marginal, and anti-Hollywood and that is what made his movies so great. JJ did everything that was possible to make this movie acceptable for fans and non fans.
There are many ways where this movie is sugar coated that it is hard to list them all but one thing is sure, The Force was never presented that way. It is now more something from the Marvel universe than the original trilogy universe. It doesn't feel right. However, is it a decent entertaining. Yes, it is. It's just not really a SW saga proper ending. The non fans will love it and then forget about it 10 minutes after leaving the theater.
