This is a spoiler free ryview, so if you're okay with what you've seen in the trailers already, no need to shy away.
Okay, let's go ahead and discuss the mixed audience reaction. Do you remember when a lot of people saw The Force Awakens and then complained that it didn't feel like Star Wars (while somehow also complaining that it was a ripoff of Episode IV)? Well, it's happening again. And with good reason. This is a drastic change from what came before it in the movies. It bucks tradition, goes to new and interesting places, and therefore pisses some people off.
What did I think? I think it's 100% Star Wars, and I can't wait to see it again.
