A great save by Abrams

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2019)

Gosh, what a hard task redeeming the train-wreck that was the Last Jedi.
I went into this thinking it would be trash, having been majorly disappointed with the Last Jedi. But I was truly entertained, like the old star wars movies. The right amount of humour (mostly by the great chemistry between Poe & Finn); fantastic battles and special effects; Many relevant throw backs to the prior films, and decent character development (within the main characters anyway).
Sure, some of the parts were rushed, but it is a colossal film to make well.
As a star wars fan since the originals, this was exactly what was needed to wrap up the saga.
