True fans will love it for what it is.......

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2019)

So I'll just lay out something first. There are three types of SW fans:
1. The casual fan who seen the movies.
2. The hardcore fan who seen the movies, maybe played some games..etc.
3. The super nerds who seen the movies a bazillion times, read the all books, played all the games....basically obsess over it. They can tell exactly how to build a lightsaber and likely tell you how many hairs were on Yoda's body.
Group 3 SHOULD be the ones appreciating this movie but instead 1 and 2 seem to be loving it more. I am part of group 3 and am disappointed by my group.
The movie was amazing in my mind. Were there things that contradict some past SW things? Yes. Were there things that left you asking "But how...?", yes. Is this movie perfect? No. No movie is. But I accept it for what is and always was supposed to be. A series of movies for all types of people that was meant to be enjoyed.
I also remember JJ (who did Force Awakens) had to recover the story since Rian (Last Jedi) really went crazy with the story and messed up JJ's plans. So it does sort of leave this movie in a frenzied state. Often times rushing things to fill in some plot holes due to Rise of the Jedi messing up alot.
And if you talk to me in person I can tell you ALOT of problems with the movie in terms of lure and storyline. But I put that aside and accept this is now how it ends. Can't change it and no complaining will change anything. I gave it a 9 despite all of this because I thought it still wrapped up things well.
I'd lastly point out that this movie would be more near a 9 out of 10 (for overall IMDB score) if not for the "group 3" people who just gave it on a 1. This is why I ignore any review that gives a movie a 1 or a 10. No such movie that can be a movie that is either score.
No matter what group you belong to when it comes to the series, go see this. Put aside the nerdier side of you and just accept it the movie as it is. It will make enjoying it much easier.
