Best of the New Trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

This movie was very entertaining. I think JK abrams had a solid vision for the Star Wars direction, but rian johnson messes with it with last Jedi. I love the dynamic between Ben and Rey and I love the backstory behind them. However, the movie felt rushed and didn't capitalize on some potentially emotional scenes. Ben was kind of thrown in the garbage at the end of the movie. There was no sense of respect for him from Rey at the end. He saved her, she kissed him, he died, and then it was almost as if Rey forgot about him and his memory. He disappeared as a Jedi and that was it. Too sudden for one of the top 2 most important characters. A simple force reunion at the end with Luke and leia would have sufficed.
I do think this movie (as well as the previous 2) abused the power of the force. Everything was super overpowered. Almost like they wanted to show different cool powers and just chalked it up to the force. Went a little overboard in that respect in my opinion.
Overall, I did enjoy this movie and it was a decent ending to this trilogy.
