Fine conclusion

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2019)

A vey good conclusion of the Skywalker Saga. Its not perfect because there are many things that might have worked better in other directions or if they changed several things but it was good that J.J. Abrams was back on the directors chair as his film is very fan serving. Daisy Ridley was very good and delivered her best performance as Rey in this installment. I always loved how Adam Driver developed his role which was extremely well done and also here. Carrie Fisher was heartbreaking but I thought they served her VERY well in this film. Also good to see Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams. back and many other great cameos to look out for which I won't mention here but fans are in for a treat. Richard E. Grant was a bit wasted but I liked the new character played by Keri Russell. The Visual Effects were absolutely stunning and the films strength lie in the perfect imaginary and general visuality. If I know in my mind review all the films from Episode 1 to Episode IX and see the whole Skywalker saga as a total the film definitely succeeded. The only thing I had some troubles with is that it is basically a bit of a copy of the events in Episode VI, if you look into story, structure and that it makes many things established in previous films kind of useless. But thats the only big flaw I find with it. It was perfect entertainment with many nostalgic aspects. But yeah I think its now time to really call it a final. This film did prove that there isn't much more left to tell about the Skywalkers, Sith and Jedis.
