thats the 2nd best star wars movie
I've given my reasons, how about you give yours?
I can.
Luke's arc is exactly as he predicted back in Empire and ROTJ. He found peace and defeated his foe using the force in a peaceful way and helped them escape in redemption. Redemption from the horrific way he wanted to kill his disciple out of fear.
Rey and Kylo had legitimate struggles with who they were. A character arc of not knowing who was truly bad or good and the internal struggles with figuring that out.
The battle scene with the imperial guards with Rey and Kylo was one of the best cinematic battle scenes in Star Wars for me.
The vision quest of Rey was legit eye opening on her character and not foreshadowing anything. Great way to tell a story.
The flashbacks with Kylo and Luke changing what happened throughout the story was a good story telling device. I forget what story type it is, but it see saws 3 times until we find out what really happens.
I know it's not a popular opinion. But I do enjoy this movie so much more than the prequels in terms of execution and emotional connection.
8 was better than 7, and it set up the possibility of an amazing 9.
Then jj abrams shat all over everything.
