Heartbreaking, but not entirely in a bad way.

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2017)

It is hard to write a review about this film without spoiling it, but I'll make an attempt.
As a life-long Star Wars fan who goes out of his way to avoid the prequels and watch the despecialized editions, I wanted to love the new films. TFA delivered, in my opinion, in every way.
Last Jedi is a little hard to follow. It seemed like they seemed to squeeze too much in. Some of the rules of the force we knew and embraced are "bent". And there are some comically bad sequences.
With that being said, it tugs on the heartstrings and offers some reunions with old friends that will touch you and maybe even make you shed a tear.
It leaves a sense of "what the heck is next?" I don't really know. But at the end of the day it's good Star Wars.
