Ultimately brilliant despite distinctly being a film of two halves running in parallel, one of which is a stunning character driven continuation of the saga and the other a place to put everything else so it can be kept busy with fruitless, pointless tasks until required for the ending.
Bang on. Really loved the themes of failure and hope, the WWII style space battles, the amazing colour schemes (white on red!), the Bespin style sunset at the end and Adam Driver as always giving it lots of welly. Some really clunky bollocks in the middle. And not for the first time - shit child actors, and great actors being fucking terrible. Still, ambitious, exciting, unpredictable. Possibly.......liked it better than Force Awakens.
