I saw it. Liked it more than The Last Jedi, but wasn't a huge fan. Just felt kind of clumsy and unsatisfying.
Palpatine returns and threatens the entire galaxy and that just gets slipped into the opening crawl? Seemed like a weird choice.
After 2 previous films hearing about the Knights Of Ren, they show up, just stand around like a bunch of extras in a Slipknot music video and then get dispatched fairly easily. Disappointing.
What was with the sexual tension and Finn with darn near every character? Poe, Rey, the annoying gal from the last film, the storm trooper deserter lady who they jammed in for 30 seconds with no major explanation. And what was the point of that woman?
Rey being Palpatine's daughter was also weird. When did Palpatine have a son? And nobody thought that was important to mention or watched the guy at any point? Also, with a recent comic confirming that Palpatine manipulated the midi-chlorians inside Anakin's mother to cause her to become pregnant, that means he was both Ben Solo's great-grandfather and Rey's grandfather. Makes that kiss at the end a little gross, right?
Also, the whole bit with Chewie was very poorly played off. "Oh, you blew up the transport, but Chewie was on another transport that you didn't see." As sad as I would have been to see Chewie die, it would have had much more emotional impact and given a stronger case of "Rey can't trust herself" if she had actually killed him.
The Empire has now had two Death Stars and Starkiller Base blown up by lucky shots. So, they spend decades building this entire massive fleet of Star Destroyers, which need some sort of beacon to get off the planet, and they only put a beacon on the ground and one on a ship? C'mon, you know the Rebel Alliance pulls off one-in-a-million victories and you had all that time, put a beacon on every ship. You can't cut corners and go cheap when you are trying to rule the galaxy.
I did like that they redeemed Poe after the last movie. Honestly, I think I just want a Poe movie at this point. Set it a few years back during the war against the First Order and give us some awesome space battles with the rest of his squadron. I'm one of the weird people that much prefers the starfighter and capital ship fights over the lightsaber fights.
