Episode 7 was a travesty for children! This one is close to being an all time masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2017)

And it comes sooo close. I am going to be honest. This movie is a gem in the Star Wars Universe. And I am going to tell you why. Let us start with the few negative sides of it.

The scene with Pricess Lea was.... unnecessary
The entire movie ends in somehow underwhelming way for being second in a trilogy. Somehow I am not feeling too excited for the final chapter.

And this is it. This is all I have against this movie and this is the main reason why I didn't give it a perfect 10 mark.
To all SW fans who hate this move for doing this and that to specific characters and focuses on characters who have nothing in common with Luke or Vader or any of the past characters. Please, understand:
1/ Sooner or Later the Skywalker thing had to end - there must be other characters on the horizon. Plus, with all due respect to the actors - they can no longer be the heart of the saga as they simply need to pass the torch
2/ Sooner or Later the Death Star /Planet thing had to end. I am sorry - the plot of SW revolves around the death star for too long. It IS SIMPLY GETTING BORING! I found almost 0 differences between Episodes 4 and 7.
3/ Sooner or Later the Master - Apprentice Jedi and Sith thing had to end. We need a fresh villain to replace Vader so that simply the SW universe can expand and no longer to be connected only to Vader and the Emperor or Obi Wan and Anakin / Luke
So, please, stop ranting. The movie is brilliant! The humor is at places over the top but in general - amazingly good.There are amazing twists and most importantly - the movie is bold enough to try to create an entirely new SW world with a brand new amazing villain and no more relatives to Vader / Skywalker. Not to mention that it was visually stunning!
Nothing more to add. Hopefully Episode 9 will not be a Episode 6 replica. We need a new direction of the Saga and this film sets it with fashion!
9/10
