Watch with an open mind and don't let the past control your expectations

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2017)

I can understand how some people do not like this movie, however, I really did. I was never a big Star Wars fan, but I grew up with it because of my brothers. This movie made me want to go home and watch all the movies and learn everything I could about the universe.
I did that and then I watched this movie again. It was much better the second time and I still enjoyed it.
This new trilogy is not done yet and I think many people are forgetting that, just because some questions weren't answered in the obvious ways they were in the past films. I think this movie is beautifully done and the acting is superb (Adam Drivers acting is amazing).
Star Wars (In my opinion) is not about the Jedi Order only, it is about good and evil, the fall of a civilization and the fight for freedom. What I think many people don't see is how wrong the Jedi actually were, they focused so much on their own light and their own path to stay good that they did not see everything change around them.
I think there are a lot of disappointed fans because this movie took a different direction than expected. But personally, I loved it. It was fresh and had such a deep level of emotions in it that captivated not just me, but many others. The characters from the old movies are not the heroes anymore and it is time to let the past go, kill it, if you have to.
Luke Skywalker is the last Jedi because he is the last one to try and live by the ways of the Jedi, which ended in failure again. I really hope the fans who are sad about this movie will rethink their expectations, because did you really expect Luke to be the main character again? Save the day and have another surprising father?
It is a new area, a new fight and if a new way of order is to rise, the old one has to fall. No more Jedi order and no more Sith. They have to go back to when everything was stable, to the grey area between light and dark.
I think this movie points out these things in a beautiful way, the inner battle between light and dark, showing us one person can truly not be only one of them and there has to be a middle ground.
Luke failed because he pushed himself so far away from the dark that he feared it when he saw it in someone else, but for a Jedi, fear is bad. So bad that Luke did not know what to do and was considering killing a young man who was conflicted and had no idea what to do. The Jedi created another villain by not embracing human errors and doubts.
This is why I think this movie deserves 9/10, because if you watch it with an open mind and love the universe and the ideas in it, it will surprise you. Put away expectations and face reality, the Jedi are gone.
The only reason I am not giving this 10/10 is because of the obvious way Disney used that bird to make the toy sell in bulks. Also, the thing with Finn and Rose was a bit forced, but ended up working out.
Sorry if I offended anyone with my review, but this is just a personal opinion.
