Hot(?) take on Ep VIII
I really wish they'd focused on Rey, her relationship to Kylo Ren, and Luke's fall from grace and redemption.
I feel like having Rey AND Poe AND Finn stories made Ep VIII incredibly busy, enough so that some bits - Finn's personal growth especially - get lost.
And I hate how downer the downer ending is. At this point anything other than "the Resistance now has to operate as covert cells for decades" would feel like a deus ex machina, utter bullshit you're told for morale.
