Let the Past Die

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2017)

Loved this movie!!! It definitely takes a different turn then expected. Johnson did a really good job writing a script that was fun, bold, surprising, suspenseful, and exciting. He made some choices that a lot of die hard fans might have a hard time with.
One thing that I didn't like about the Force Awkens was how similar it was to A New Hope. I was a little worried this movie would copy the Last Jedi.
Thankfully though, other than a few plot points, it doesn't. The story is an original well written story. It feels completely different from the last 8 Star Wars movies, but yet still manages to have that feel like a Star Wars movie. Forget all the theories you have heard about this movie. That is the best way to enjoy.
New Comers to Star Wars are probably more likely to love the movie then the diehards. Johnson made some really bold moves, there both surprising and amazing. You don't get very many answers about Rey's parents or Who is Snoke., but this movie set up a bright future for the Star Wars Saga. I can't wait for the next one!
