Yea.....it works! Not perfect, but damn good ride!

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

The rise of Skywalker did mean or end the way I thought it would. But the movie was solid. It was not perfect. But it was solid entertainment! I have to say though, it ended on a rather sad note, one with much impact.
From the beginning we get to see how people have evolved since the last movie. It was good to see relationship and character development. It was also good to see so much of Leia in the movie, and her final scenes did her justice both in real life and in the series.
This trilogy did not go the direction that I wanted it to go, but who am I? Just a fan. They did give me one bit of satisfaction though. I always wanted to see Leia in Jedi training, and we finally got a peek! Maybe we might get to see some more back stories? See Leia in a fight? I want to see Luke in his prime also, but honestly seeing what he did in the last movie was pretty epic.
I have to say thank you to 94.7 KUMU Hawaii for providing us with free private screening tickets! Got to see this in Titan Luxe! Huge screen with lots of vibrations.
I think most of you will really like this movie. Not sure about love. But no reason to hate it, that's for sure. I also think there will be more Star Wars in the future!
