I liked it, but I understand the criticism

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2019)

So Rey and Kylo Ren are my favorite characters, so it makes sense that I loved this movie because the movie was really meant to service them. Both of their character arcs were well done, and better than any other Star Wars character arc.
Now, when it comes to everything surrounding Rey and Kylo Ren, this is where the movie starts to thin. I understand people's issues with Luke, the subplot with Rose, and Space Leia.
Did Rian Johnson ruin the franchise? No. Was this a fun watch? Yes. Could it have been better? Definitely.
We'll see what JJ does with episode IX.
