Things I liked about this movie :
1. Carrie Fishers performance as liea you could really tell she was settling into that role again compared to TFA total bummer she's gone
2. The pacing it didn't
Feel long even though it was 2 1/2 hours
3. Luke skywalker was great I lost it when he went god mode at the end hopefully we will see him as a force ghost in 9 , yoda was also dope but wtf was the props department doing he looked like he just got punched in the jaw by tyson
4. Fin , he easily my favorite character in this new cast
5. The fight with the penturion guards was dope
Things I didn't like
1: no back story on snoke he's all powerful and gets cut in half like no big deal
2. They don't touch on alot of things brought up in tfa like where maz got lukes saber and why kylo talks to his dead grandfather's melted helmet
3. The vice admiral staying on the ship to pilot it all by herself I mean it's
Star wars there are the ****ing droids to do that ****
4. Kylo has no reason to stay evil in the end its like they just said f it we still need a bad guy
5. No shoot out with stormies
6. Rey being nobody is fine but then how is she so ****ing powerful and able to use the force so easy that was a big let down, luke is the son of the chosen one and he could barley lift stones in esb
I'm sure I'll think if more but that's What I got for now

just saw it.
it was a decent movie but not a good star wars movie.

Here are my thoughts on TLJ
I thought it was a pretty solid movie. I would put it under The Force Awakens. I left the theater not feeling the same way I felt after TFA.
Rey
I thought her performance in this movie was really good. Shes OP as hell, and I felt a little cheated about her parents just being junkers like her. After all the build up, and hype around who her parents were, for them to just be junkers was just meh to me. Guess she's going to have to teach all these younglings who have the force.
Kylo Ren
I also thought his performance was great. I honestly thought he was going to turn back to the light, but I was satisfied with how his narrative played out in this movie. I left TFA thinking that Kylo was going to turn to the Light, but after this movie, I believe that he's 95% on the dark side. I do believe that he has a sliver of light left in him, and I'm sure Leia will pull that out of him in Ep IX.
Luke
Really satisfied with his arc in this movie. I honestly thought that he was going to die in Ep IX, didn't expect it to be in this film. I thought they would off Leia in this movie, then Luke in the next movie. With him being gone, I'm sure he'll be a frequent Force Ghost in Ep IX, to continue training Rey.
Leia
This was a bittersweet movie for her. I thought she did a good job in the movie. I thought she was dead after those Tie Pilots bombed the bridge. Her floating back to the ship was just really weird to me. It just didn't seem right at all. But if they offed her like that, I would have been pretty disappointed. I am interested in how JJ will write her character in Ep IX. Like I said with Luke, I thought she was going to die at the end of this movie since she obviously will not be there to film Ep IX.
Poe
I liked that his character got a more shine in this movie. I wanted more action from his character in TFA, so seeing his role become bigger in this movie was awesome to see. I totally forgot that he and Rey never met. I'm sure he'll become the new General in the next movie, again, b/c of Leia most likely dying in the next movie.
Finn & Rose
This is where the movie really lost me. I thought their storyline was just boring, and didn't really connect well with the rest of the movie. They honestly didn't do anything at all to advance the story. They could have taken their mission, and made it a short film and it would have been better. It just didn't fit well with the story in this movie. And are they going to have a relationship? Finn seems to like Rey, but they also wrote in Rose to be a person of interest as well? I don't know.
Phasma
Useless in the first movie, was expecting more from her in this movie. Still useless.
As for the ending of the movie, it left a lot to be desired. That broom kid was pretty lame, just showing us that there are others in the galaxy who do have force powers. I just didn't like how they ended the movie, that scene just felt like it was added in at the very last moment.

Solid Star Wars movie with some awesome scenes and with other scenes that leave you scratching your head. Definitely the best looking Star Wars cinematography wise but also with some dialogue that just makes you shake your head. I was expecting better but I still liked it overall.

I loved it and loved the risks and chances this movie took in regards to setting up IX. I’m on board with everything Jedi Council brought up in their spoiler review as well.
Y’all trippin for saying y’all don’t even want to see IX as you walk out of the theater for TLJ

Was waiting to hear "Hello there" during the scene where force ghost Yoda appeared. Was disappointed that force ghost Obi Wan didn't show up.
