Don't you want nuance?

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2017)

Most reviews I have read condemn Rian Johnson for placing Luke Skywalker in a place of "Grey Jedi" ala "Jolee Bindo". But I believe that very much his natural evolution of an un-directed Luke toward his understanding of the force, makes sense. And hence his direction of Rey's training is understandable.
The main characters of this series are Rey and Kylo and the Dynamic of that relationship will only be truly defined in the 9th film.
The Jedi and the Sith are very absolute understandings of the universe/force, but for Luke to feel like the balnce lies in the Grey maks sense to me.
Do I think Poe, and Finn, and Holdo's storylines were irritating? Yes!!!!!! but that is litterally how the chain of command works. I don't feel it was designed to eat time (like EP VI forest scenes), I feel like it was designed to raise excitement to the payoff, which I also feel is fine for a Star Wars movies.
Honestly, is it my favourite movie? Not yet. But I believe Rian Johnson is a fan of the extended Star Wars universe and hence fans of the movies may find conflict in thin movie.
For those who have not ventured out of the film universe, hold tight. the conclusion to the trilogy is yet to end.
