Fitting Ending!

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

As a fan of this beloved franchise, I admit I was let down by previous movies in the sequel trilogy. I commend Abrams with his direction in this movie as he was able to overcome issues faced in the Last Jedi.
The pacing of the movie was evident as a problem with the beginning being packed with scenes and introductions to the movie, evidently revealing the reduction of the original cut into this final cut.
Abrams did fill fan service which left me on the edge of my seat with nostalgia and connections to previous characters and stories in the Skywalker Saga, however some of it was a bit over done which did expose a child like nature more suitable for younger viewers.
Overall I commend Abrams and the cast and crew of Episode IX and I recommend this movie to all fans as a fun, exciting and action packed adventure to conclude the Skywalker Saga. Although some of the movie I didn't agree with, Abrams did fulfil his obligations to connect with the fans of the beloved franchise as best as he could, with the ending really completing the nature of the saga with carrying generation to generation.
