That was quite good! Overall really pleased with the path they took. It has echos of Empire, hits similar beats, but does it in its own way and doing its own thing. Doesn't leave it hanging, and really it's wide open where it could go next.
Good focus on the characters, the Star Wars loreists aren't going to be happy, Rey isn't anyone, Snoke isn't anyone (kind of disappointed that he ends up being a throwaway character). I was hoping they'd dig more into the light vs dark and moving on from the Jedi order, but I guess you can't really expect that.
The Finn/Rose subplot could have been cut entirely IMO, that was about the only part where I felt the movie dragged somewhat.
Glad to see someone finally use the jump to light speed as a weapon, I've only been wanting that since forever, that was extremely cool.
Luke was pretty cool, strong but flawed, can't be what they want, but does what he is able to.
Music was amazing of course.
Good movie, no idea what they'll do with the last one!
