8 out of 10.

My only knock; I don’t find Kylo or Snoke very interesting. However, it has nothing to do with their performances or the story.

For the record, I never thought Vader or the Emperor were very interesting. Not in 1977/1980 - not now. Particularly the Emperor. Snoke, so far, isn’t any different for me. My touchstones in 1977 were Luke, Han, and Chewie. Now they’re Rey, Han, and Chewie.

While I’m mentioning changes; I prefer the Han of 2015 over the Han of 1977. Han is no longer the shallow and selfish rogue I looked up to in 1977 and I’m no longer the 15-year-old kid I was back then. Young Han connected for me then, older and deeper Han connects for me now.

That was a great part of the film for me.
