A great Star Wars movie (just not what everyone expected)

Rating: 1/10 (17 December 2017)

The movie was fantastic and fixed all the problems I had with The Force Awakens.
I'm really shocked at how blind some people can be... I was always the biggest fan of the original trilogy and also was afraid that having that nostalgia will ruin the new movies if they go too far from the source material. But I'm very glad to be wrong. In my opinion Ryan did an amazing job (much better job than Abrams) balancing out the old and the new. We got closure in places where it was needed and also got investment for what the future holds.
Some decisions were definitely strange (like killing off a certain character) but that's what I also liked about the movie - it was taking risks - unlike the New Hope v2. If all the crying fanboys would just throw away the nostalgia sunglasses they would see that this was a great Star Wars movie - it just did not tell the story you had in your head when you first heard that there will be 3 new Star Wars movies back in 2012.
