I came out of TLJ thinking it was okay, but didn't have high expectations.
- The action scenes were good, star ship battles and lightsaber battles were the highlight
- I found it really preachy. The SJW pandering was really blatant. The casino bit irked me more. This anti-1% stuff reeks of hypocrisy when Hollywood/Disney and the actors in it ARE the 1%.
- All of Leia's scenes felt surreal to me. Idk what it was but most of the characters just felt really detached from one another
- A lot of new characters. None of the 'good'/'light' side characters were likable or relatable. Only Kylo's arc seemed interesting to me. Rey could have been too but they took her on a journey to nowhere.
- Overall could have been a lot worse. I'd still go see Episode IX because the Star Wars universe is interesting to me
