It was great. They took the Cantina and turned it on it's head.

The DJ character and the casino was a great way to explore the idea of not everyone being all bad or all good. It served a clear purpose despite what people are saying.

Rose, though...****ing useless.

Those three alone wouldn't have made it a "great" Star Wars film but it certainly would have been much more palatable.

My biggest issue was the completely implausible decision to "chase" the Resistance for the entire film. The only reasons thousands of TIE fighters and dozens of Star Destroyers didn't completely stop their escape was because the film would have ended. Even Hux comments on the stupidity of the situation then does NOTHING to rectify it.

Because the ships were running out of fuel.

W.T.F.

By the way, did anyone say "I have a bad feeling about this?" I missed it.

Like the FO/Snoke would care if the TIES make it back?

Were all the FO ships out of gas too? Just hyperspace closer.

Stupid.

That was when it should have happened. Good point. Hux could have stepped back and said that...

Good, not great. My number 4 behind the OT. Far better than any of the prequels, better than episode 7, but not quite up to RotJ. Started strong, ended strong, off in the middle. I liked Rose as a character, but the side mission with Finn was awful. Made no plot sense, was basically just a contrivance to get us to the Phasma fight, and to throw in some one percenter crap. Which I'm okay with in real life, but please leave in my face political messages out of my space fantasy... Needed more focus on Poe and Laura Dern's admiral holdo. Everything with Luke and Rey was good. Some stunning visuals throughout.

When asked about Snoke's back ground it was hinted we are getting some novels to explore more of his origin

The intent is to provide moviegoers with a sense of pride and accomplishment for buying different star wars books.

I love reddit LMAO

Her parents are important and it's going to be revealed in Episode IX.

Actually agree completely with that. I still think there's a reason why the Kenobi movie isn't hitting theaters until after episode 9.
