Terrific, twisty take on the Star Wars saga

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2017)

From a technical movie-making point of view, this is probably the best Star Wars yet; the scenes in deep space with the slo-mo chase are the only ones that kind of suck (why do the cannon shots from the First Order bend down- there's no gravity!) but the rest of the movie is just awesome.
The sets, the effects, even the Porgs... loved them all.
From a story point of view, it's very much a twist on the "old" Star Wars universe. (This is no doubt why so many people are so upset.) But in the overall plot, it's actually really good; it implies a much deeper, broader vision of what we know.
What can Jedi, or Force-sensitive people, actually do? What powers do they have? Why would anyone imagine that what was in the original trilogy, or the first six, be all that there is?
Go see it. It's worth it.
