This movie pulled so many threads together in a very satisfying way.

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2019)

This movie was far better than I expected, especially after reading initial critic reviews. The movie isn't perfect but Star Wars has never been about sublime narrative or great acting. It's been about fun plots, homage to the past movies of the series Andy the genre that inspired them, the relationships among the characters, and a present day morality tale. This movie tied up the numerous threads hanging after the eighth movie and it created, to me, a very satisfying ending to the nine movie arc that started when I was 10 years old. I'll miss the sequencing of the next chapters to my life but liked very much the way this movie created seen ending.
