I thought it was awful. Kind of enjoyed it in the moment though, in that it was total cheese. But in the long run I won’t see these films as being part of my head canon.

Which is unfortunate as there are certain elements I thought they did get really right, Adam driver as kylo ren had potential to exceed Vader (mainly because we could see his face and really see his conflict).

I thought the rapport between the new main cast was excellent and fun. It was the one of the few times I felt something when they reunited at the end of this film.

That’s pretty much where my praise for these films ends though. The return of palpatine in particular is too much for me to take in stride. There were decisions made in The Last Jedi I didn’t really like, but I could live with because at least with the decisions surrounding Luke, they are somewhat rectified by the end of Last Jedi. He goes on a new journey to overcome his failure and realises he can be the spark of hope to reignite the rebellion or whatever.

Unfortunately, there’s no coming back from the fact that Vader, didn’t actually kill the emperor at the end of RotJ.
