I’ve seen it twice now. First time Tuesday night at midnight. I was really let down that night. I felt like it had a completely different cinematic language than what a Star Wars film should be. I liked a lot of it, especially the desperation of the Resistance being hunted down to almost nothing. But ultimately it made me realize that Star Wars going forward is not going to made for us “long timers” Disney is looking at the future and I get that.
I thoroughly enjoyed it the second time. I don’t know why but the way the story was told seemed to settle better with me. I still think Canto Bight is a wasted section and could have been used to possibly go into Snokes background and how he seduced young Ben Solo to begin with. But the time on the Jedi island is terrific. Mark Hamill gave such a brave performance. I loved the flashes of Luke come out when he saw R2.
I will be seeing it several more times and my opinion may change. But for right now I am taking away the ownership I feel over these characters and realizing that new filmmakers are taking over Star Wars and it will never be the same. I like where they are taking the story, but will never be as obsessed as I once was because for me Star Wars will always be the story of the Skywalkers and the further they move away from that the less interest I will have.
Would give it a 7.5 out of 10 currently.
