One of my favorite SW films

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2018)

This film has absolutely created a divide within the Star Wars fandom, and I definitely see why. I do think a lot of the vitriol towards it and Rian Johnson is kind of silly, though.
I came out of the theater craving more- I liked where it took the series. I will say I really liked the way Luke was handled. IMO it would've been boring if he was another mentor figure. Having him be a fallen hero was interesting, and the end of his character arc was a great send-off for him (however, I think it would've been even better if it happened in the next movie to finish off the sequel trilogy).
In the end, there were some things I would've changed, but overall I really enjoyed it. Right now it's like number 4 or 5 on my ranking of Star Wars films.
