The conclusion to the Star Wars saga has finally arrived. Spanning across five decades it's probably the longest running movie series based on original work. And now it's finally complete.
It has been interesting journey. Not least due to the unconventional order they were released. Later generations have had widely different experience watching those movies.
So was the last one good, worthy conclusion to such a remarkable saga? Yes, and no.
As a movie, it was what we have accustomed to expect from a Hollywood blockbuster. Beautiful, lot of action and other shallow things. There wasn't too much depth.
But it was a Star Wars movie. It has to be evaluated a bit differently. And yes, it definitely was a Star Wars movie, with all the tropes we have come to expect from them. Even the unexpected revelations were so predictable. At least if you have seen any other movies from the series. And if not, those wouldn't have made much sense anyway. No "I'm your father" moments, even if it sure tried.
It wasn't all bad. Maybe it's just the emptiness after realising there won't be any more movies to follow up from here. Except all those spinoffs Disney is cranking out to squeeze every dollar out from the franchise. And of course there is always an option to reboot the whole thing (I truly hope not!).
