A fresh new beginning with the potential for a new direction and ideas. Loved it.

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2017)

The Last Jedi instilled the same excitement, awe and wonder I first felt when seeing A New Hope back in 1977.
I agree with Luke and Kylo. It's time to forget the past and to move forward.
I think it telling that the audience demographic who rated this movie the highest is the under 18 crowd. This is the group that will keep the SW dream alive. It makes me happy to see the wonder in their eyes. My grandchildren haven't stopped talking about the movie. That makes me happy.

The negative opinions seem to come from old, hard core fans who are never satisfied. They complained about George Lucas' prequels and now they complain about the latest offerings. Frankly I don't think they know what they want.
My advice, forget the hard core, impossible to please critics, and see the movie for yourself.
