A worthy successor

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2017)

Summary: There are a lot of fanboys dissing this movie, but I loved it! It had amazing space battles, saber duels, etc. It had all the goods!
Good:
1. The space battle scene was very well done. Like Rogue One, I had the sensation of speed/flying.
2. The interaction between Rey and Kylo is very interesting. I believe the next/final episode will explain more. I really feel like they MUST be related but we will see.
3. It's Star Wars... If your a fan you really should love this movie. All the details are there.
4. The cast is very integrated. Many races are represented. I dig it.

Bad:
1. My number one complaint is that Luke Skywalker is "different" in this movie. He should probably be one of the most powerful beings in the universe but not in this movie. This could of been handled better IMHO. This is my top complaint. The Luke Skywalker of Return of the Jedi was a badass. This Luke seems like a has-been or a bum.
2. Story seems really rushed. There are character arcs that could really be developed, but the writers were in a hurry to get to the next movie.
