I remember reading a leaked plot summary in the run-up to this film when everyone was still speculating what was going to happen; suffice to say, I enjoyed all the drama and what-ifs more than the film itself! I didn't watch it in theaters--I watched it on DVD in July 2020, after most of the discourse had died down, and my summary at the time was "fifty ideas in a trenchcoat pretending to be one movie". Suffice to say, I was not and am still not a fan, particularly of lack of consistent worldbuilding/explanations and the Reylo Force dyad subplot.
Most of this moving is not visually appealing to me, but I did like Rey climbing through the Death Star ruins, and the swirling snow and stone on Kijimi made for some excellent shots.
I wonder a lot about Colin Treverrow's ideas for a third film, which make for a fascinating counterpoint to what actually happened.
