The Last Jedi is the First Fulfilling Star Wars Flick in a Long Long Time

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2017)

This is a long movie filled with actual characters and sub-plots that made you invest in the characters. Overall there was less copying of cliche Star Wars tricks and replays.
The rebellion is literally on the verge of ending, the Jedi legacy is in ruin, this was a much more believable storyline.
Rey in particular does a great job in depicting the "seeker" of the force alive in all of us and humanizes what the Jedi order is and can become. Luke's past actions are revealed to show even legends are just human.
I wouldn't say the film was mind-blowingly original, but a heck of a lot better than the over-rated last film in the franchise. That is so over-rated I nearly lost faith in imdb as an accurate reviewer.
You are left with questions, many questions. There's nothing quite as fulfilling for the 2nd movie in a trilogy. Rey's relationships of ambiguity and the theme of breaking away from the past are both genius in terms of storyline development.
Yet amid all the character development, the space fighting scenes actually made sense and did not seem as pointless and silly as in past episodes. This was nearly as good or maybe even slight better than Rogue One, which I felt was much more fulfilling than The Force Awakens (2015).
I'm disappointed with the IMDb community for rating this movie anything below an 8/10, and that kind of flaming is beyond belief - as this was one of the BEST Star Wars movies ever made. Some scenes were far from perfect, but the echoing narrative and themes of the movie were universal and make you rethink the Jedi order and what it means to "have the force". That's not an easy achievement and they actually were able to implement it here.
The Force Awakens was a really bad movie (like a poor copy of the originals). This is the complete opposite. It stood out both in script and character persuasion, something the franchise required to regain my respect.
