This was a great film, people need to stop whining, just cause their fan theories weren't true.

The only way to please star wars fans is like this...
Make it new and different, but don't change anything. Do something original, but keep it the same. Don't kill off the old characters cause we love them, but kill someone off to surprise us. Make sure all our fan theories are true, but don't be predictable. Got to have it mystical, but don't make it cheesy! Bring back unexpected characters, but don't do it in the way you want.
Seriously, star wars fans are the actual WORST fans in the world. Never happy, so ungrateful and massive whiners. I didn't think this film was perfect either, but I enjoyed it. That is the point. It's a fictional universe, of course it's meant to be fun. The reason there is now so much hate it because it's such a huge and popular franchise.
If you look back, the original star wars film is full of cheesy acting, silly jokes, plot holes and weird decisions. But we still love it, because it's a classic. Back in the day, people didn't have the ability to put their opinions on the internet, and the world was all the better for it.
So it wasn't perfect, I agree. But I think lots of things happened that were brilliant. There were touching emotional moments, twists and unexpected things.
The fact they killed snoke was a shock, yes. But it was unexpected. It shows that the over-confident and arrogant bad guy can be killed off. Which does break the norm. And it now sets up Kylo Ren as the main villain. I seem to remember him being pretty awesome in this film. But fans didn't like it. Wait, didn't they complain about him not being badass in the force awakens? Oh yeah, never happy. Also, they can still reveal information about him even though he's been killed off, seriously. Pretty sure in the EU, lots of new things were learned about Vader and the Emperor, AFTER they were dead.
Reys' parents. Oh no, none of the theories were true. So what? The point of this trilogy is to not make every important person in the galaxy related to the skywalkers! And it's possible they can still reveal who they actually were in episosde 9. I liked this twist.
There were cool new characters, fun moments, and Luke and Yoda had some of the most touching moments in the film. Seeing Luke find peace and become one with the force was very nicely done.
All in all, it was fun, like star wars is meant to be. And it wasn't totally like Empire, which is what everyone was worried about. But now that is isn't, people are STILL not happy! You'll never be able to please all star wars fans, and in that respect, directing a star wars movie nowadays is an immense task.
To round up....let's see all of you do better!
