Spoiler softcore mega geek review

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

First of, JJ is a genious. I'm gonna talk about the things most others don't.
Let's take this chronologically from where Anakin fulfills his role as the chosen one and ends Palpatine's life, ending his reign of terror and ending the Sith, bringing balance to the Force.
However, as the dark side is a twisted thing, and tapping into this power is going against the laws of the universe, can lead to corrupting destiny itself... Palpatine is ressurrected! "The dark side is a pathway to abilities many consider unnatural"
This happening leads to the Force having an Awakening.
Que Rey, a being made from destiny, and an heir to power.
Rey is linked with Ben Solo in something called a "dyad" in the Force, which further explains their power beyond their heritage, but also the ties they both have to the actual Force.
This isn't confirmed, but it is implied that the Force works "in mysterious ways". The Force seems to work similarly to how shatterpoints work with Ben and Rey in certain situatiouns.
Now Rey is being revealed as a Palpatine, and by the end of the movie she claims the Skywalker name. At first this bothered me, until I gave it a proper thought (hence why JJ is a bloody genious).
Let me explain by giving you some insight into Kylo Renn/Ben Solo.
His arch is portrayed beautigully throughout the movie. We learn it was always Palpatine who was behind all the voices in his head, pulling all the strings. This has visible effect on his psyche, making him stronger in the dark side as it fuels his suffering and rage. Later, when Leia uses her last powers to contact Ben, just in time to save Rey, she gives him hope, this breaks him enough to realize his struggles can all end if he just lets go of his self hatred and forgives himself. He has a vision of his dad, whom he also realizes would forgive him, like his mother has.
BEAUTIFUL.
Ben Solo tosses away his lightsaber (later actually has a pro scene with a gun, reminds us of his father, Han)
In the end of the movie, the last fight, Palpatine has only one last desperate plan, to pass on the Sith ( which all live within him) to a worthy heir, his granddaughter Rey. They fight him together and he steals their lifeforces to revitalize himself. Palpatine realizing he can continue his reign after all releases his regained and boosted power as a Force Storm onto the resistance, causing mayhem.
Rey and Ben, still fighting aginst the emperor who is on the verge of finalizing his "Final order", the actual final order of Sith that will rule the galaxy through pure evil and darkness, Rey manages to destroy him after unlocking in life, what the Jedi before her has only seemingly achieved after death: becomming one with the Force, in a sense.
Rey, top of power, backed by all Jedi before her, overpowers the emperor and destroys him with his own powers against him, but dies from exhaustion.
This is where Ben Solo makes the ultimate sacrifice in resuscitating Rey, giving his life to save hers, doing with the light what his grandfather sought notoriously for in the dark: the power to save someone you love from dying.
They share a kiss, pleasing fans, before Ben passes.
Rey, burries the lightsabers of Leia (yep) and Luke in Tatooine, where Luke was raised, revealing she has constructed her own saber: an orange one.
Rey also adopts the Skywalker name, as an honor to Ben, Luke and Leia.
Now as Rey is the only Force master left, I cant help but think of her going into a role of being a something more than just a Jedi. More like a Guardian of the Whills, kind of thing.

The movie adds things from what I feel is Lucas' vision, but still manages to take an original spin on it. It also adds lots of new material and possibilities for the universe, which is very nice.
Thank you J.J. Abrams
