After earning the love and respect of the fans back with episode 7 of Star Wars, the second installment in the sequel trilogy was projected to be some of Disney and George Lucas's best work. While the rating on Rotten Tomatoes shows a 90+ rating, the movie is not without its faults. At times in the middle of the movie, it seemed too long. It seemed as though they were simply building it to the climax of the movie in the last 30 minutes. Also, the role of Luke Skywalker seemed to have been downplayed and shown much weaker. As a defender of the galaxy, I personally was unhappy with the development of Skywalker over the film. However, I will say, other characters such as Rey or Kylo Ren showed very good development and promise over the course of the film. While this movie did not live up to my expectations, I feel as though the table for episode nine has been set so 2019 could not get here fast enough.
