I went to see TRoS...
(click to show/hide) And...
I fucking adored it.
Are their plot holes.. of course - it's sci-fi - most of that genre DOES!) :)
Are there bits where I went... "ooookayyy...?" Yes... (The "transporting" of things using the force)
But JJ did a pretty decent job of papering over the cracks of both TFA (which wasn't THAT bad) and TLJ, which was pretty bad) with some nice retconning, mostly involving Leia who was a proper Jedi! (Who knew!? But, in context, makes perfect sense!) :) )
So... yeah.... paid £13 at our new LUXE cinema... Like it so much I dropped another £15 for the SUPER deluxe version!)
HUGE kudos to JJ... He pulled it off... :-D :-D :-D

Overall, it was better than I feared.
Just glad they foreshadowed /telegraphed that one thing even though both had plotholes.
It's a shame they didn't indicate Palpy back in SWtFA. That along with the unresolved shipping they set up are my major gripes. My major concern is that one of the littlemermaid eels or rogerrabbit weasels in legal* will try to trademark Carrie Fisher's likeness. I certainly wouldn't put it past them.
*People ask what happened to the classic Disney villain. They're still there, they just work in Disney's marketing and legal departments.
EDIT: typo fixes
LeeC:
I just saw the movie. I need to digest it a bit, but my first impression is: Its okay. Not really bad and not really good. Its like they took Return of the Jedi and mixed it with The Last Jedi with some Indiana Jones sprinkled in.
Not good, not bad, just okay.
Wife on the other hand: hated the parts with Rey, liked the part with the Resistance.
Edit: Oh and I loved the short blink and you miss it (click to show/hide)Wedge Antilles cameo.
Blue Kitty:
I really enjoyed it, a lot more so than the people online that have been poo-pooing it

While there are valid criticisms (reylo & the plotholes), it was still enjoyable.
Glad they did the one retcon, though it'd have been nice tohave that be the case from the beginning so the narrative across all three would be better.
Tova:
Even though I enjoyed The Last Skywalker, I agree with these criticisms.
