It was good not great.

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2019)

The movie was good and harkened back to some memorable scenes and story lines from the first 3 movies but it was also cheesy at some parts. I mean really, pretty cheesy. It's very Rey-centric, who I happen to like but if you don't it might not be your favorite. I was also unfulfilled by the twist of her parentage. Didn't see it coming and didn't appreciate it. She was also very different in this movie, very empathetic and sensitive to other beings, which showed her character development but it was such a departure that it was a bit strange. Luke was strange in the role too; just didn't seem like Luke. Didn't like Leia in the last 3 though either. She's a good character and there were some touching, heart-warming parts as well.
