Ignore the haters!!

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2019)

Great fun, great special effects. Darker than expected. Ties everything together and has all the throw backs to the other 8 movies. J.J. abrams just made a Star Wars movie for the fans based on the backlash of the last Jedi and I think he made a very good job despite what other people think. Just go see it and take it for what it is. This movie was never going to please everyone. I've watched it twice now and got more from it the second time. I wasn't a fan of the last Jedi particularly so this movie worked for me. Loved it. 8/10
We all know the new trilogy is NOT George Lucas Star Wars, these stories were not his plan at all. Be interesting to see what his opinion is of this trilogy overall.
