I was really afraid to watch this, but, hey ... this is a totally decent and worthy finale for the series and FINALLY recaptures the spirit of the original trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2020)

It's definitely the best part of the new / last trilogy, better than VII (which was decent) and way better than VIII which was unwatchable for me.
After 40 years and 9 films for me the only thing that really mattered was that the series finds a honorable and worthy ending that does the legacy justice. This is accomplished. Episode IX again finds the tone and atmosphere of the first trilogy (ep IV-VI) which were basically a fairy tale in space.
I don't know if it's very logical but what about a space fantasy that all rewinds about super natural powers is very logical? At least it spares us those completely senseless 3D action sequences of the last episode.
I really was afraid to watch it... but now I'm relieved and the nine-ology is finally finished.
...and to all those haters who wrote overly negative reviews and gave it 2 points - what do you give episodes I and II If you give this IX only 2 points?? You would have to rate it with a MINUS 10 in order to get the relativity right!
