Brilliant New Direction for an Older Franchise

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2019)

The character development of everyone, especially Ben Solo and Rey, was fantastic. Rian Johnson took risks that paid off, including the forcebond, the then Rey's parentage which has since been disappointingly retconned, the death of Snoke and Ben's proposal which added more complexity to Ben's character (who is easily my favourite SW character), and of course Luke's arc which was beautifully human and believable.
Such a shame Disney and JJ Abrahms tried to appease the small but extremely vocal vitriolic subsection of fans when this film was loved by so many.
