It's exactly what the franchise needed and a solid enough ending to the saga

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

Having just watched this film, I have to say it was a lot better than expected. When the force awakens came out, people didn't like it was a carbon copy of a new hope. So long and behold, this film dares to be very different and some people are never happy. It's the modern day troll or tantrum I like to call it. For me this was the true sequel to the force awakens and it passed my expectations which was low after the last Jedi.
It was a beautiful looking film, music score on point. Old characters stood strong, new ones fitted the world and JJ learnt from his mistakes from the force awakens. It was a big step forward and for me, ended the saga (skywalker) story perfectly. Plus showing respect to those who have fallen and sadly passed away. This film doesn't deserve hate and certianly the best star wars film by far in this new Trilogy. Plus in the top 4 star wars films for me (4th spot)
Happily watch again and enjoy the second viewing.
