The best since ESB but still flawed

Rating: 5/10 (14 December 2017)

The movie was good, for a SW movie but is mostly bugged down by TFA and it's decision to reboot the original story so we are back to the Rebels vs Empire storyline as if what happened in the original trilogy did not count. And this movie can't do anything about it even if toward the end I hoped it would and that as Ren proposed they would forget the past and move on. Sadly they did not.
What I liked was the subversion of usual SW tropes and using them differently. I also liked that the movie said "f... you" to the "mysteries" of TFA (who are Rey's parents and who is Snoke).
And contrary to what many people say I liked the Finn/Roz storyline because it showed us that this universe is bigger than a few guys fighting each others (they are really a few in fact that does not make nay sense) and that was the only good part of the prequels. And the fact that they achieve nothing at the end is also nice. They fail. It was all in vain, but they tried.
The movies is filled with plot holes, many from the setting of the previous movie (how the vanquished Empire could come back even more powerful so quickly, how did we never heard of a Sith as powerful as Snoke in the past, and so on). But overall it is stunning, funny, entertaining and the best SW movie since ESB, with maybe Rogue One very close.
