Star Wars: Episode VII - 7.0

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2019)

Act 1 - 7.0
Act 2 - 6.3
Act 3 - 7.6

This is a very conflicting film with moments that range from great to terrible
The whole plot line with Finna and Rose is the worst part of the film and could have saved everybody 15 minutes by cutting it out as it leads nowhere
Don't like how Luke is shown in the film but he still has his moments of greatness
Poe's lesson in the film isn't a very good one as it just lead to nothing and him being in power anyway
Love everything with Rey and Kylo and I hope there is more to Snoke than met the eye as it seems Rey and Kylo and still connected even after his death
Understand the unbridled hate for the film as it does turn most of what makes Star Wars, Star Wars on it's head
Overall a good film that is a must watch for a Star Wars fan
Really good opening Star Wars fight
Shows bullheadedness of Poe not taking orders which leads to casualties on his side but they got the job done
Luke throwing the saber over his shoulder is truly terrible
Luke is a hermit on the island
Snoke's power is incredible being able to use the force on Hux from a great distance
Snoke wants to end the Jedi and wants Kylo to end it but doesn't believe in his capabilities, good scene
Rey pleads for Luke's help but is reluctant to help
Green milk stuff is terrible
Original Jedi texts on the island called to Rey
Luke refuses to train a new Jedi and says it's time for the Jedi to die
Leia demotes Poe for not following orders
Resistance was tracked through light speed which is supposed to be impossible
Kylo couldn't get himself to fire on his mom but his men do blowing her out into space, showing Kylo is still struggling with light and dark
Leia uses the force to get back to her ship but is badly injured
Luke goes onto the Falcon and reunites with R2D2 and plays Leia's original message getting Luke to begin training Rey
Vice Admiral Holdo is out in charge and the Resistance is down to 400 people on 3 ships and wants to bring hope to others
Holdo tells Poe to stay in his place and follow orders
Finn meets Rose and they devise a plan to take down their tracking system and tell Poe who goes over Holdo's head with the plan
Finn and Rose go to a casino to find a master code breaker to help with the plan
Kylo and Rey start to feel each other's presence from incredibly far distances away, someone is connecting them
Rey starts to learn about the balance of the force and Luke says the force belongs to everyone not just the Jedi
Rey went right to the dark and learns Luke closed himself off from the force
Scenes where Kylo and Rey are connected are really good
Casino looks incredible but has a dark underbelly
Kylo destroyed Luke's temple and killed some of his students and ran of with some others
Rey promises not to fail Luke
Rose has her animals rights moment
Rose and Finn escape with a code breaker
Kylo says Reys parents threw her away and tells Rey that Luke tried to kill him when he saw what he was becoming
Rey goes to the dark side of the island to find answers about her parents but sees two black figures turn into one and only sees her reflection
Rey and Kylo continue talking to each other and even touch at one point and Luke sees this and tells Rey to leave
Luke tells the truth about Kylo and what happened, Snoke turned him but Luke says he failed him
Rey believes she can turn Kylo and leaves the island and Luke to go find him
Force ghost Yoda appears to Luke and sets fire to the Jedi tree and they agree it is time for the Jedi to end
Yoda scene is really good
Poe confronts Holdo about her plan and doesn't see the big picture and gets taken off the bridge
Rey gets onto the First Orders ship and is captured right away with Kylo seeing her
Poe tells Holdo about his plan and takes over control of the ship
Finn and Rose also get onto the First Orders ship with their plan
Rey and Kylo both think the other will turn and Kylo said he saw her parents, takes her to Snoke
Finn and Rose fail and Leia breaks into the command center and shoots Poe and everyone boards the transporters and Holdo will stay behind to pilot the ship as a diversion
If Holdo just told Poe about her plan then we wouldn't have needed the casino scenes and there would be less nonsense in the film that could have been cut
Snoke reveals that he was the one who connected Rey and Kylo, played her
Snokes throne room is very cool
Poe learns his lesson to follow orders and doesn't always need to be a hero
Their code breaker turned on Finn and Rose and now the First Order knows about the transports and they start taking some out
Everything in the throne room is very good
Kylo cuts Snoke in half which is cool but dumb, Snoke is the most powerful force user we have ever seen and he does like this
Kylo and Rey fighting together is great, says it's time for the old to die and for something new to take its place, awesome scene
Kylo wants Rey to join him at the head of the First Order and says Reys parents are nobody
Holdo sacrifices herself flying the ship into the First Order saving the rest of the Resistance, awesome shot destroying entire fleet at light speed
Finn takes out Phasma in a short battle and he and Rose are safe
Kylo takes control of Hux and takes the place of the Supreme Leader
Fight will now take place on a nearby planet
The Resistance sends out a beacon for help
Love the look of the planet with the red salt when you walk on it
Poe realizes stopping the cannon is a suicide mission but Finn won't pull off
Rose stops Finn from sacrificing himself and it's a terrible moment and gives a terrible speech and kisses Finn while the First Order blows up their defenses
Such a stupid moment, worst part in the film
Nobody answers the Resistances call but Luke does
They have a nice moment and gives Leia Hans dice
Awesome with Luke taking on the entire First Order
Kylo is blinded by his rage for Luke and goes to face him one on one when the firing in him fails, great stuff
Poe realizes that Luke is stalling and tries to find a way out
Luke leaves no red marks under his feet giving away he isn't really there
Awesome one on one with Kylo
Rey moves the rocks for an opening to free the Resistance and a Luke says he will not be the last Jedi
Kylo tries to kill Luke but goes right through him, cool moment and see Luke projecting himself from the island
Luke fades away just like Obi Wan did, emotional moment
Kylo finds Hans dice and Rey and Kylo see each other like when they were connected from Snoke
See Rey took the Jedi text from the temple and Leia and Rey know Luke has passed
See a kid on the casino planet looking at the stars and hope in the future
