Loved it

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2020)

Yes I know I was not around when the original films came out and since I am not the ORIGINAL fan I don't know any better and have no right to have an opinion, but I loved this film.
First I take into account the fact that its impossible to come up with something as original as the original films, however unlike popular opinion I do not think they should stop making films in this universe because of it.
Agreed several terrible choices in the film:
1. Palpatine is alive - it diminished Anakin's sacrifice
2. Rey is Palpatine's grand daughter - just absurd
3. Rey's and Ben's healing powers - not really in line with how the force works
But the first one sort of could make sense since it has been outlined in the prequels that Sith have such powers, the third one's thought process could have been that Rey and Ben both have a touch of dark side so...
Now what I loved ... all these maybe because I have never had any expectation for these movies to have the originality and depth of the original trilogy, but still:
1. Fight scenes - the whole film is set almost entirely of the fight scenes of some kind which was really cool
2. Parallels to the other films - several times in these film we have seen some kind of scene that has reminded me of the old films
3. The final battle - this film has outlined very strongly that the Sith are over, the balance has been brought, so it was a nice ending to what has started in the original films.
In this sense, for me this trilogy and the last film itself was kind of a small shot of Star Wars to make me remember that adrenaline once more. Not an in depth Star Wars movie but still great to watch.
I had fun, I enjoyed and that's all I had expected so I am satisfied. Surely this will not remain a classic as the original films did and the attempt to create new Leia, Luke and Han in Rey, Fin and Poe will not work, but enjoyed this and will watch if they make another one as long there are light-sabers and that soundtrack.
Oh, and one last thing I was worried about since it had to be done for obvious reasons I think it was a perfect way for Leia's ending to happen for connecting to her son and saving a new hope of the galaxy.
