Thoughts

There are moments I like in this movie. Some made me laugh and some got me a little choked up.

I still don't understand the affinity that Rey and Ben have for one another or their psychic connection. Finn and Po felt like third wheels in this movie. Rey and Ben/Kylo were the stars.

This was just a little too much. I would prefer a simpler movie that doesn't attempt to over complicate things by including a cast of millions.
