I am not sure how you could write all that and mean it at the same time. That is your point of view. You cannot expect what is important to you to have to be what is important to another. All Star Wars Fans want to knows and needs to knows are valid to them As your opinion is valid to you. Those of us that truly cherish the Original Trilogy for what it meant and means to us I believe set a high standard for what should come next. In what needs to be explained and what does not. To most id does to some it does not. For one side to tell the other what way to think about how they should feel or what they should want from these films is completely wrong.
Don't get me wrong I am not coming from a for the sake of argument place in posting this.
I just feel it is wrong to tell someone in a forum or any place actually how they should feel because that is the way you feel. Just feels bullyish and not cool to me.
Everyones personal point of view is valid plain and simple.
If you like the movie great if you don't that is great to. It is just nice to hear everyones hopes for what this film would be and what it actually turned out to be in their own valid opinions.
There was a lot left out that needed to be explained here and not in the next. I did like it but also did feel very much like one other here said. Which was after watching TLJ that Star Wars as I grew to know it had truly died with this film. I don't actually need to know anymore. In fact after TFA I had the same feeling but held out hope for this one.
I liked it because it gave me moments I wanted. Every moment Luke had reuniting with his friends and family made me very happy to see. Those being Chewy-Leia-R2D2-3PO-Yoda and to a certain point of view the Falcon. They were all very touching and emotional to me which I what I would have wanted no matter what. Now I have that and am at peace with Losing my Childhood Movie Hero Luke Skywalker. He drove the movies and joy for me in his friends along the way. Knowing that he made the decision and essentially gave his all for the ones he loved on his own terms and he is now peacefully one with the force is what I wanted at his end. The twin suns scene was beautiful end of his arc.
What I did not like was being pulled into conversation after conversation with friends and family with who are Reys parents, how does she have all this power. Who is Snoke and why is he so powerful. Most importantly why does Ben hate his family so much.
None of that was explained. I found the only reason I was invested in any way in these new characters was for those reasons. The want to know who and why. Kylo and Luke both asked the question why, like 50 times in this movie. Why can't I. I did not get any character driving explanation on any of them to like or dislike. Just that Reys parents are terrible and nobody. Snoke was also nobody. George did like to explain these things. Maybe that spoiled me. But I do believe we all deserve better explanations to those questions they set up for us to wonder in TFA only to drop the ball on all of them. Really did feel like a slap in the face that we were supposed to wonder and care but the writers felt no need to fulfill any of them.
Those are some of my feelings and thoughts on this movie. They are mine and they are Valid and so is every other fans individual opinion.
May the force be with you all
