Meet the expectations of this old fan. As my friend said, there is everything that should be there. Although the movie itself is excellent, it is not worth five stars. Taking into account the difficulty of screenwriting caused by such a heavy historical burden, the previous one was given five stars.
The content of Force Awakening that appears to be forced to continue has a relatively reasonable explanation, but the source of the villain's strongest boss, Snook, is not explained. It is still abrupt, still too powerful, so it seems that death is also abrupt. Luke's choice is philosophical, but the transformation is not philosophical enough. Even if the core logic of the transformation is spoken by Juda, the weight is enough, but the gold content is not enough. A better idea is probably "Balance is not scilence". In the face of the images played by R2, Luke did not express feelings about the nightmare-like reincarnation fate (that is, the story routine) (and thus fundamentally doubt Jedi), which made me feel bad. This is also the root reason why I think the film itself is not worth five stars.
The whole movie began to weaken the fairy tale meaning of the ultimate anti-killing of lone heroes, and began to get closer to reality. The choice of the villain was very pragmatic. It was an improvement without pretending to give the decent more opportunities. Moment to return to become the next Han Solo) also seems to be the movie saying goodbye to its own past. In fact, the meaning of the whole film is very obvious, and farewell to the past is also one of the themes of this film, the most ceremonial is the Temple of Thunder Splitting, the past Star Wars has passed.
The problem of Jedi's different capabilities in various scenarios, and the sense of inconsistency caused by the tactical core of the Kuxuan high-tech skin wrapped in earthen guns, has not changed since so many copies. But the lightsaber was originally such an embarrassing existence.
Luke's remote support through the small universe was a tribute to the Saint Seiya (Shaka remotely guards the Lion's Palace, Kanon remotely guards the Gemini). It was a surprise to me. Luke finally showed his strength in so many films.
The X-wing fighter in the water did not take off, and the two-way trading of arms dealers may be a foreshadowing, as if to truly turn a fairy tale into a true story.
When I watched it, I thought I was watching Harry Potter from time to time. Both the performance and the setting were a bit similar. Finn's growth line gave an explanation, but it felt unnecessary.
Didn't see the subtitles clearly, a female partner didn't know if it was Jia Ling, she was not bad.
