Not Great. Not even good.
So then, Why the 4 stars?
Call me sentimental. Accuse me of liking the music, of feeling roused by the way the opening titles and storyline still disappear into the galaxy. Say that I enjoyed seeing Harrison Ford (again) and was curious about how they'd 'animate' Princess Leia. All of which is true.
But more important, I liked the 'big reveal'. The 'who are Rey's parents?' And grandparents? This is and has always been a family-drama and in this final episode that string of family revelations continues. And continues with a reveal which (1) I never could have guessed and (2) raised the question, Anatomically, how did they do it?
Beside that, not much. The same chases, the same bar-rooms with non-human drinkers, the same warships and fighters and upside-down fighters and more and more and more of the same. You can miss the first 90minutes or so and miss nothing.
You'll likely see it, regardless of what I say.
So enjoy it.
At least, try.
