An incoherent but very enjoyable film

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

Absolute bonkers movie. This is partly because JJA was clearly briefed to reverse a lot of TLJ and create a new plot. It's also because he wanted to make this movie a celebration of SW, and I liked that. Liked the menace of the knights of Ren but would have liked to see more of them. Of course it would have been better if the story had been written for this trilogy in advance but given that it wasn't I think the three films, although not well connected, are all great for different reasons. Really liked the role of Leia, helping Rey in her epic fight on the Death Star against Ray. Amazing. Love the scene of Leia and Luke training. Explains why Leia didn't become a Jedi.
Overall I think the people making this thought, we can't please everyone so let's just have some fun with this.
