Star Wars Episode 9 Review *Spoilers*

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

I've been a Star Wars fan my whole life. Say what you want about the sequels and prequels, you and I can have an opinion. I grew up with the originals not watching the prequels until after they came out. I loved 1 to 6. When I found out they were making 7, 8 and 9, I was very excited. 7 and 8 were great, 7 being better than 8 and it was a long two year wait for 9. Now, I did go in with low expectations, I read a leak on the internet weeks ago which actually turned out to be accurate, and written down it sounded lame. Seeing it on camera though was completely differnt. Finally the burning questions of who Reys parents are are finally revealed, Snokes origins were revealed to be nothing, and it went over a lot of peoples heads how Palpatine was still alive. He cloned himself, which means the Palpatine that died in 6 wasnt the real Palpatine. And the people that did catch that and hated it... How come you liked it in the Expanded Universe/Legends but not canon? Hmmm okay.... Anyways, it was also the first Star Wars film my wife saw with me and she liked it as well. To me, it wasnt the ending of the Skywalker saga I wanted, but I finally got closure which is what I wanted and needed. The movie wasnt perfect in any way shape or form, but it was a comfortable ending I think we all needed. The problem with Star Wars and long time fans is that they're stuck so long in the past that they dont know how to enjoy a new one. Give it a chance, stop looking at silly theory stories and let the story unfold for you. I thought it was good.
