It's extremely fun

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2017)

Let me start by recognizing the best movie of the entire saga is The Empire Strikes Back. But I think this entry has now become its second greatest.
This film is highly entertaining, as a movie that lasts 150 minutes has to be, but the characters are also seen in a fresh new light, that even goes for the characters of the old saga.
Rian Johnson has managed to tie up loose ends from the previous episode and he fixes some pacing issues that I unfortunately have to say J.J. Abrams imposes in most his films. The story is something entirely new, I am happy to report that it has not been recycled, I can guarantee you will be at the edge of your seat until the credits start rolling.
The acting is extremely good, it is bittersweet to see Carrie Fisher, but that's all I am willing to say. The entire cast is beyond well picked, from Daisy Ridley to Laura Dern everyone gives their best.
The story seems mostly uneventful in the larger scheme of things but the beautiful aspect of this saga is you already know the third part is coming and I cannot wait to see what will happen next.
Overall, I give it 8 out 10. I would fix a couple of things but it was highly entertaining.
All that is left is to wait for the continuation of that familiar story that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
