Mission Accomplished

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2020)

Abrams accomplished his objective to wrap up the Skywalker saga - unfortunately the story he wrapped around his objective was really weak. Having said that I would give this effort a 7.5 or so and rank it about 5th of the 9 Star Wars movies behind The Force awakens . The action and special effects were excellent and seeing Leia,Hans, and Luke one last time was worth the ride. One thing that isn't working for me is Rey and Finn's possible more than friendship. I was pleased that Finn seemed to find love with Rose in "The Last Jedi " and the friendly introduction for Poe to Rey at the end seemed like a possible Leia - Hans romance in the offing. It wasn't to be and an opportunity lost. One reason Star Wars IV- VI all got ratings over 8 was because they all had humor and Romance - None of the other 6 stars wars had both. Rey and Poe would make a great team to protect the Galaxy Far Far Away given the chance - Finn does nothing for me except provide comic relief.
