By the time they got to final battle on the old rebellion planet I was honestly about ready for the movie to end. I actually chuckled out loud when they said the big cannon was Death Star tech because of course it was. For a second there I almost thought that Finn was gonna go through with his self-sacrifice and that they were really going for the dark middle chapter but of course he got saved in the last second. Then I thought they were going to end it with Luke pulling an Obi-Wan, especially with the slightly modified callback line, but Im really happy with the route they took with that one. When they cut back to Luke on his island and very conspicuously seemed to be avoiding showing him from the neck down, I was afraid it was going to be a dramatic reveal of his chest being all bloody from Kylos attack, but thankfully they went with the more respectful solution. Not gonna lie, for a while there I was hoping he wouldnt die just because Hamill was so much fun in this movie, but it was pretty much necessary for the new generation transition theyre obviously going for in this trilogy. Hell almost certainly do the force ghost thing, but hopefully fairly briefly.

Overall the movie was okay, probably a little better than TFA, but frankly Im likely to skip most of the non-Rey/Luke/Kylo stuff on a potential rewatch. Also, I feel like at this point there is very little magic left in Star Wars for me. 7 and 8 are competently made movies (as is R1, but that one I actually didnt like very much), and I dont want to gripe about Disney too much, but the heart of the series has mostly been replaced with mechanical clockwork that churns out low-risk products at a steady rate and Im starting to see too much of the machinery. Hopefully the Rey/Kylo arc will reach some kind of satisfactory conclusion in 9, because after that Im probably done with the series, or at least done paying for it.
