Thank God George Lucas sold Star Wars

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2017)

The Force Awakes, Rogue One and now the last Jedi have completely removed the taste of garbage (the prequels, especially Phantom Menace) from my mouth.
Not to say this film isn't without issues (Mary Poppins Leia and the pointless Finn quest, captain phtasma being lame af) but the good points far outway the bad. I appreciate Rian Johnson not only exploring the mythology of the Force but also killing off the stupi midi-chlorian idea Lucas gave us. He did a great job reshaping the whole adventure giving us so many possibilities of what could happen in the galaxy far, far away. Rian also really pushed boundaries of what a villain should be and gave us the most interesting, complex villain ever in Star Wars.
Jumping to hyperdrive to take out a fleet? Dope as hell.
Force Skype? Love it
The visuals of the red salt? Sick
Rey possibly being a better Jedi than Luke? Outstanding
Didn't get Snoke's backstory? Who cares. In the originals we didn't get the Emperor's back story and it suited us just fine.
I think fans complaining about this are just uncomfortable in having to think and not being placated by rebooting old stories and nostalgia.
