It's 8,5 but let it stay 9. Movie has issues.

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2017)

SWTLJ definitely has a different tone than rest of SW episodes.
It is packed with a lot of action, but it also has a drag part (all summed around 30min) .
It is clear to me now that Disney wants to "slowly" reboot the saga.
I can't blame them tho.
The force awakens was a letdown in a way, but I realised that that force awakens just sets the new tone for Star wars saga, and therefore I see FA from a different perspective now.
I'm a fan, but not a fanboy, so I will try to clearly point out why the movie is good, and why it's bad.
Without further ado, let's start.
As I said tone of TLJ is different, some might find it odd.
The beginning of the movie was action paked, but also felt disconnected from ending of the force awakens.
To clarify, it does start where FA ends, but changes a setting a bit.
It keeps audience on the edge all in all, but drags a bit.
There are some, in lacking of better word, amateur mistakes.
I'll point them out spoiler free for now:
-odd, kinda forced plot twists.
-lack of explanation for some major plot points (I'll explain this in spoiler part down bellow)
-pacing issues
Good points are visible if you are open minded, and if you want to see the new perspective of saga.
I don't want to list them here, because I would like it for you to see it for yourself.
SPOILERS BELOW -----------------------
So ... wtf was Snokes role in all of this ...
Amazing villain build was shanked with a lightsaber throu ass... littleraly.
I really try hard to see bigger picture here.
Ben solo is a amazing caracter and even better villain.
But there must have been a better way to make him main villain than this.
That was the part that needs explanation.
Pace of new "romantic" sub-plot was odd.
The thing that im trying to understand is how Rey became a jedi master-like powerful with couple of days of training?
She, in some way, literally defeated Luke in one on one combat!
Hope the pacing gets better in next movie.
I would give this a lower score, but it was amazingly fun.
