All in all I liked it. As a matter of fact I think it’s a great movie. My only real problem is how many characters are in it. The movie has to balance OT and TFA characters while introducing new ones. The only way to handle so many is to create subplots which in turn make the film feel longer than it needs to be.

With so many I can’t choose a protagonist. Having Plinkett TPM flashbacks now, but can anyone name the main character? Everyone has character arcs but all the arcs just happen like that. Rey accepts her parents and the light, Luke returns, Kylo kills Snoke. Even if they were planning beforehand or changing offscreen, it ends up feeling epic the first plot twist but upon later viewing turns the story hollow. I don’t mind Luke and Kylo but when it comes to Rey she should had a bigger prominence in the story.
Oh well. Again TLJ is a great movie imo. I tend to get overly critical of any SW movie not perfect.
