My family and I went to the movies to watch it as a little Christmas gift. We love the Star Wars movies (my mom hates the prequels and my sister hasn’t watched the prequels and barely remembers the originals) and we were all excited to see it.
In short, I liked it, but when did my opinion amount to anything? Plus, I’m super easy to please, so there’s that.
However, I can see why a lot of people hate it. There were plenty of ass-pulls and the pacing was super quick.
Palpatine seemed to be there only to lure in the hard core fans and wasn’t given much screen time. We didn’t even get a clear explanation as to how he lived through the Death Star 2’s explosion. But I really did like that scene where he used a bunch of force power and shot a beam of lightning up into the sky.
I also liked the scene where a bunch of ships appeared to help the resistance. It was like a weaker version of that Endgame scene. You know which one I’m talking about.
I’d talk a lot more about every major scene, but I don’t have time. Me and my family are about to do our annual Christmas cookie decorating.
So, I want to know what you thought about the movie. The reviews I’ve seen have been surprisingly mixed, so I wanna know where you stand.

Palpatine effectively killing himself was -blam!-ing stupid. There's no way around it. And he JUST demonstrated how he could effortlessly overpower Rey too. Like, what the shit Palpatine? Did you WANT to lose?
