Honestly... ignore keyboard warrior haters

GO SEE THE MOVIE, it was a fitting end to the Skywalker saga, closing the door on the family and leaving the universe to go off new directions rather than being constrained in timelines.
Ok so this was movie was never going to please everyone... those of us who have been with the Star Wars universe 40 years and loved the original trilogy hang on to those as the holy grail of what a Star Wars movie should be (ESB top of the list) and people are quick to say this movie wasn't that.
However I think differently, I've enjoyed the last 2 episodes, yes TLJ had issues (it nicked battlestar galactica premise, rag tag fugitive fleet) but they were Star Wars for the 21st century and this movie closes out that.
With massive nods to everything that's come before it had me laughing, crying (Chewie on his knees) and whooping at some of the cameos (not going to spoil them but I counted at least 6 that were so clever and important Yet subtle to not confuse non die hard fans even if they amounted to a fleeting 2-3seconds of screen time). I'd have liked 5 more minutes of flashbacks around Reys lineages but I know that book will hit the shelves mid next year and the movie had enough to satisfy the story.
Ignore those who are so bitter they are writing negative review full of spoilers and well we knew that was the case comments... every possible scenario about Rey has been discussed in the last 4 years so of course some of them had to be right. Enjoy it and watch out for ***** and ****** and ***** ;)
