Wow, i really, really, i mean, REALLY enjoyed the whole runtime of that film. There was a crapload of stuff in there, so i am not going to pick any nits just yet, but overall:

Every Character that i was on the fence about in TFA, was stellar in TLJ. this includes Finn,Hux,Poe,Snoke. Ok wait, i lied, i still don’t really like the Phasma character (she lacks reason for being IMO), and was glad to see her go.

I was so happy with how they treated Luke in this film.

I was so happy with jolly old Yoda. yeah he looked a bit different than what seemed right to me (chubby face and darker green as has been mentioned), but hell, he had the spirit of old yoda from ESB, and i loved that. i think i almost teared up when he burned the tree and had a good chuckle.

I really like how they turned Poe into someone who might be a convincing leader in the next film. he learned some lessons in this film from general leia, and gained some believability that he was sorely lacking in TFA.

I realy liked general leia as well. i even sorta liked her space moment, but was frustrated that it didn’t go anywhere. it seemed like everyone dropped it. i mean, did she do this often? was this a surpise to the rest of them? But it was awesome to see that she had also grown into her force abilities, but it was frustrating to have that be it.

JEDIT: how could i forget Rey and Kylo: they were amazing in this, and i really liked the way they developed them together in this.

I promised i won’t nit pick, but just to give a taste, things i have to give a second thought to are:
Convenient pauses in battles, benicio del toro’s stutter (i hate when stutters are added to characters for no discernable reason)
