Saw it finally.
Two things...
One, what the hell is the resistance? I mean...there's the republic. Why would their need to be a resistance to the First Order? For once in my life, I actually want to know the POLITICS of Star Wars.
Secondly, we all know it's a complete retread of the original trilogy and that's a shame. I really thought it would have ended on a high note if Kylo Ren was defeated but the death planet wasn't. It still worked and several more planets blew up and it ended like "Well....****...what do we do?" Then you have that spectacular last shot with Rae meeting up with Luke.
By the way, that scene is sooooooo damn good. It really truly felt like Star Wars in that moment. None of the light saber fights did it for me, nor Solo dying. It was that final scene where I felt I was watching Star Wars again.
One last thing, I was surprised by the comedy in this movie. Most of the time it hit bulls-eyes. Apart from the story, there was good writing in there.
