Intellectually superior but really flawed movie

Rating: 6/10 (27 June 2020)

All the themes always touched by the franchise are done with a more sophisticated perspective. Sometimes it contradicts the "truths" of the Star Wars saga. Good and evil is a bit more complicated of an issue. There is more than rebels and empire, a class of people that benefits from it. The knowledge of "The Force" shouldn't be only in Jedis hands. The ego in trying to be heroic vs. the real heroic act of sacrifice without wanting to be recognize for it. Etc.
Again, most of them are part of the franchise, but are often simplified. The problem is that it sacrificed entertainment to make it happen. The amount of subplots (Luke and The Jedi, Snoke and The Sith, Rey and Kylo, Poe's character development, Finn's character development) and the way they were executed, made the movie a bit tedious.
In the end, the core of this movie was the Kylo and Rey "fight with the Force", their past, and their "destiny". That was awesome and elevated the other intellectually great, but poorly done elements of this movie.
