As a lifelong fan, best yet.

Yes, I said it. Rian Johnson gave the finger to the fans, and I thank him for it. Get rid of the crummy nostalgia the last one rode on the back of. TFA wasn't bad, just wasn't great for me. Same story we have seen before. This one has humor, almost a bit much at first, but then tapers off a bit. It's a star wars movie to reach new fans, not to just try and keep a dying breed of fans. Faithful to star wars lore. Yes the jedi "bible" states you can force project for those powerful enough. As for no snoke development. . .did we see that with jaba the hut initially? did we see it for Boba Fett? No, but there was a mystique about the characters that kept our imaginations alive. I enjoyed the hell out of it. More I watch it, the less I see so called plot holes, that even myself picked out, and now see how interwoven it was. Maybe people are being too superficial expecting it to fill their fantasy of what they think it should look like, but now the story must change, and it will for the better. . .best I can do for early morning write up.
