Disregard the shallow reviews

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2017)

I went for the third time and enjoyed even more. Not once, have I felt cheated, disrespected or feel that my lifelong movie franchise was being dragged down by the powers that be. I am not a film critic but I've seen a million movies and this movie is not bad. Does it have plot holes, and things to be debated? Yes, but not enough to ward off my love of this franchise and the way that it has shifted gears to carry on the saga of Rey and Kylo. I never felt that Luke was disrespected. No more that Han being stabbed and thrown into the abyss. Luke was going to get his island obliterated and choose his own fate (force Ghost to come). Bottom line is that making these movies is impossible task with the scrutiny one will face. I enjoyed it, will continue to enjoy it no matter what anyone says and look forward to more adventures in the years to come. Thanks to Kevin Smith for his thoughtful review and insight. Made my 3rd viewing even better.
