I Appreciated it more second time around

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2019)

You dont need me to point out the flaws of the trilogy they are well documented and plain to see. But if you are judging this film on its own merits then, as with The Last Jedi i don't see the argument for it being a poor film. Yes some of the narrative choices are bizzare in the context of the trilogy as a whole, but once you get past that like me you can appreciate the awesome set pieces and worthy conclusions for two of the sagas best characters in Rey and Ren. The final battle feels slightly hurried, buts delivers some big emotional beats whilst the final scene is (as a life long SW fan) everything i would have wanted.
