Not the ending we hoped for but not the worst either.

Rating: 4/10 (23 December 2019)

This movie for me from the Disney franchise was definitely the most fast paced film. Something that irked myself from the get to. But as avid fan of the series I did mange to keep up. There is moments in this film that leave me scratching my head. Like the extremely pointless scene where Rey heals this worm like creature. Or the final battle scene where after rey is brought back to life by Ben ( formaly kylo ren ) they kiss in a moment of pure awkwardness, the best thing from the movie was probably poe's role in it, unlike the last 2 I feel he played a real significant part in fighting against the first order and it showed why his character is so very well liked. Moving on to Palpatine, yes I'm not the biggest of fan finding out he's the grandfather of rey, looking at it from another perspective, the Skywalker bloodline is dead and the Palpatins Live on, but in all honesty I think it showed a different side of rey. She turned her back on the dark side and Palpatine in stood with the resistance, I thought the battle scene with her and Palpatine was great. It felt very emotional with falling jedi's commentating with her and inhering her strength with the force. We get a ending where it sums up blood isn't always thicker than water and rey is very much a Skywalker by heart here she buries and returns the lightsabers that belonged to Luke and Leia, then in a emotional end we see Leia and Luke look from beyond in a rather emotional close off, for me is enough for a pleasant way to end a 42 year franchise, my only real complaint of the film is we never got a proper redemption of Ben solo. Him dying I feel was a huge waste by J.J Abrahams and ruined for me the star of the franchise. But again
Not a breathtaking 10/10 film. But a film to the franchise I feel very content with to close it off.
