Conveniences and Nostalgia: The Movie

Rating: 6/10 (27 June 2020)

But it's understandable, considering the objective: Pleasing as much people as possible.
They had to "correct" the "disruptives" ideas presented in "VII", even if not necessarily negate them. So yeah, "elite Real blood" IS important. Your "Name" IS important. And yeah, the world is back to being basically "good and bad" without time giving for those in the "grey zones". And "The Jedi" as a religion is really trascendental too.
So yeah, a lot of time dedicated to re establish the lore. But with Abrams the visual spectacle came back from vacations, and also the frenetic "speed of light" pace. For better or worse, you get entertain and that velocity makes the many conveniences less relevant.
Rey and Kylo. That's the core of this movie (and sequels) and that was still awesome in this one, with both actors being great again. The rest, it's ok, but had been done better in the franchise. Together they finish the Skywalker saga (for good?) in a satisfactory way.
