I walked out of the theater far more entertained/satisfied than I had either of the prior two movies. I’m sure part of that is due to no longer caring all that much what happens to these characters, but I enjoyed looking at and listening to this thing.

I’ve kind of come around on the things I really disliked about Last Jedi over the past couple weeks, too. All three of these movies have special little flaws that make them a certain brand of wasted time, but only if you care too much.

Star Wars - this trilogy anyway - is mostly for looking and turns out I’m cool with that.

The Chewie swerve was bullshit though - I can’t remember the last time I went from 120% invested to -80% invested with the snap of a camera cut.
