What did you like about the story. I honestly don't see anything to like.

I liked the way they humanized Luke. I always thought the way the old EU made him into a super force god was kind of boring. I think it fits Luke's character that he didn't fall to the dark side, but he had one moment of weakness where the dark side overwhelmed him, and it wound up costing him almost everything.

I didn't like seeing him being a pathetic sad sack but after knowing someone who has battled with really crippling depression, it rang true to me. I've seen how it can turn someone into a different person.

I thought the Rey and Kylo Ren dynamic was so good. Having Kylo Ren use his own feelings to fool Snoke was really smart.

The Casino was the weakest part but I liked seeing the starry eyed Rose gaining confidence and feeling like she could be a hero the way her sister was.

I thought the movie did a good job of showing Holdo and Poe as two clashing personalities trying to do the right thing but failing. I went through the first time hating Holdo but then instantly realizing that Poe had been wrong all along. That one part where he asks her to level with him, and you see her face looking vulnerable like she really wants to tell him... and then he sees something on the monitor and throws a tantrum, literally screaming and kicking.

And oh, that moment with R2 on the Falcon... then with Leia just before the showdown, when they play the Luke and Leia theme...

"I know what you're going to say. I changed my hair."

"It looks good that way."

Oh man, that really got to me. And that whole final showdown was so well executed. Kylo has that line about letting the past die but Luke shows him how he can't, and Kylo Ren's true defeat is knowing that the past will always be with him.

Then that double sunset. I had kind of expected Luke would die so he could come back as a force ghost in Episode IX. But man, they did it so beautifully here.
