The lost Jedi...

Rating: 6/10 (8 April 2018)

I'd like to preface this by stating that this is the first of the numbered SW films that I did not see in the theater.
This movie starts out with a bang - an X-wing versus a New Order fleet! Awesome! And then... not much for about an hour and a half. Then it revs back up, but dang that's a long way to wait. It ends well too, and inspiring in a sense. Good movie, but not epic.
Sadly, like #7, there are a lot of repeats in this film. The Snoke, Kylo, Rey scene is almost a complete copy of the Empero, Vader, Luke scene in ROTJ. And the attack on planet Hoth from TESB is replicated here, only on a salt planet, not a snow one. Well, at least there wasn't another Death Star/Planet, right? And we got Benicio! That ruled!
