Better than the Last one

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2017)

I really enjoyed this movie, and I didn't care for "The Force Awakens" at all.
The stuff with Rae and Luke Skywalker was great. Mark Hamill nails it and they give Luke's character a complete arc. Here he is a Jedi who has realized that the Force isn't something anyone should have been messing with to start with.
Kylo Ren is more defined as a character. He's not the annoying "Darth Emo" was as in the last movie.
Po Dameron had more to do in this movie, and he'll probably have to step up in the next one as Carrie Fisher won't be back.
Speaking of Carrie, she was pretty good in this one. This is going to be her last showing, so the only original characters we are going to have in the next one are Chewbacca and the Droids.
Yoda's force Ghost is back, and he's back to being portrayed by a puppet, and not the awful CGI we saw in "Clones" and "Sith".
The stuff I didn't care for.
Supreme Plot Device Snoke. Were you wondering what this guy did to found the First Order? Well keep wondering, this guy is a low-rent Palpatine imitator with no purpose.
The whole Finn/Rose subplot. Not even entirely sure why it was there, it didn't go anywhere or advance the story or characters. It seemed to fall into "they needed something to do".
Definitely worth watching.
