Different, but same in the best way

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2017)

This episode definitely resonates with the force. There were some comedic scenes that felt awkward at first until their purpose was revealed, but for the most part the story flowed well. I love the force conversations between Kylo and Rae. It brought a great dialog of perspectives into the mix that really increases tension while giving us a chance to feel these characters more deeply.
I give this 8 out of 10 due to some apparent plot holes and my issues with Leia's character, but overall this has all of the Star Wars elements I love...and then some!
