I really liked that movie. The part with Yoda took me completely by surprise and I was literally in awe the moment he started talking. That was one of the best parts in any Star Wars movie to date. His line about failure being the best teacher got me right in the feels, then the mention of Obi-Wan brought it all together.

I thought Hamill was great, way better than I expected. His dialogue with Ren at the end was awesome. Fisher was much better this time around as well, she looked a lot more comfortable and like she was having tons of fun. RIP princess.

There was some extra stuff I don't know if we needed, the scene with Finn and Rose escaping was so over the top it reminded me of the CGI fest in Episodes 1-3. But overall I won't get to nit picky, it was a great movie.

Little disappointed with the lack of Snoke explanation, but I am guessing that will still come out in Episode IX. Rey's parentage.. ya.. I kind of liked it if they are actually just nobodies. But does that make sense with the force vision from Episode VII? I don't know I am just curious. There was a lot going on there.

Luke will be back as a force ghost, which I am ok with because at this point his dialogue was great and I wanted more. And we got to see him wield a light saber in a classic pose one last time.

I appreciated the Leia/Poe dynamic, it was really cool to see some mentoring in an area besides the force.

The fight between the Praetorian (?) Guards and Reylo was just awesome. One of the best fight scenes in Star Wars history. I liked that they were actually really tough.

The lack of build up of the Jurassic Park ladies character left her death very anti climatic, I just didn't care. The battle they referenced where she made her name, I didn't catch it, was it something we should know? The way she died though and the way it was edited was nothing short of epic though. Really cool ships in this episode.

And last, but definitely not least, my favourite Star Wars character of all time died, Admiral Ackbar. No joke, I loved that guy as a kid and was so pumped to see him in TFA. At least he got some lines before it ended. RIP old friend, you will be missed.
