One of the best star wars films

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2020)

This films honors the complexity of characters, especially those deemed "villains". Character is not sacrificed for skeptical, which I think is often the case for the JJ Abram star wars films. This film gave me hope. It gave me new perspectives on characters and found myself to see myself within characters of the dark and light side.
There are moments where the dialogue may sometimes be sappy and may make me cringe. Though overall, I love this film for its attention to detail, lore(especially the prime jedi!), dissection of ideas of the force and good and bad, and scenes such as the incredible Red Room scene. I have gone back to this movie purely to rewatch the throne room scene. Rian Johnson's passion come through. It is easy to minimize this film, as many have unfortunately done. I praise Rian Johnson for his care of the story and the characters. Thank you for the side of Kylo Ren you showed us.
Knowing more about this movie, the inspiration and connection to past star wars movies, has helped me further appreciate this film. With Disney overseeing the film with hawkeyes, I would assume there are unfortunately some restriction etc, but Rian Johnson did a god damn good job. Thank you for giving us this story.
