A pretty interesting movie

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2017)

*I really recommend watching the force awakens and The Last Jedi, back to back.*
The movie started very interesting, the resistance had to evacuate their base after their attack on Starkiller base and are surprised with an attack from the Firstorder. Poe is trying to distract the Firstorders fleet so that the resistance could escape.
This movie is all about character development. We see the heroes from the force awakens deal with some serious problems that impact the survival of the resistance and the Jedi. The movie gave us some clarity on the questions we had leaving the theatre after the force awakens. I really liked the reveal of Rey's parents and how Ben Solo became Kylo Ren.
I have to confess that I thought the first bit of the movie went really slow. but after some time the force awakened and the movie really kicked off!
I think this movie has a very strong story and that it's very appealing to a new generation of fans. Because let's be fair, these movies are made for the new generation of Star Wars fans. The Last Jedi really makes you like the new characters but the old characters even more. The way this movie portrays Leia and Luke's relationship is very powerful. Leia misses her brother but won't let this stand in the way of her objective. Just as the Leia we know from the original trilogy.
The story of Kylo and Rey, I think, is really interesting! It's a little bit like the story of Vader and Luke in Ep.6 but with a different outcome. I really liked it and this story gave us an amazing scene with an awesome twist at the end. And I really hope J.J. explores this story further is Ep.9.
The final showdown gave me Goosebumps. Finally, we could see our hero Luke Skywalker back in action! We saw how much Luke's skills with a lightsaber and his mastery of the force have grown. I really like to see new ways of using the power of the force and how the force can connect to everything. Just like Obi-wan said in Ep.4: 'the force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.'
Think about it.
Is this movie perfect? No it's not. But can a movie ever be perfect? There will always be people who like it and people who didn't and that's the beauty of it all. Now there are enough Star Wars movies for everyone to like. Everyone has his/her own favourite star wars movie and their favourite character.
I think this is an awesome and interesting movie and I can't wait to see how they'll end this trilogy!
Loved it!
