A Fitting End to the Series... A Sweet Goodbye!

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2019)

Abrams did a fine job wrapping up the series. I went in not reading reviews (and would honestly suggest the same to you). Like most people (less the die-hard fans), I liked most of the Star Wars movies.. some more than the others. This was NOT the best, but certainly NOT the worst of the series. I'd rank it certainly in the upper half.
Acting was very good.. and the story really did bring it all together. (only spoiler) THANK YOU to Abrams for NO guest appearance of Jar Jar Binks in this movie.. and nice to see most of the little surprise visitors.
Quick observations: C3PO's voice was WRONG!! Too high pitched.. right accent. Digital work on Leia was good, but certainly not fully convincing. Front shots had a soft focus, while back shots (with other actress and no effects) was sharp. It was clear they had done effects to put her there. Part of the illusion of movies is not not recognize the effects AS effects. Still.. great to see the cast all together (digital or not).
