I refused to watch the trailers, stopped using facebook and would only watch youtube channels that I was certain would never ever mention the movie. That way I had no preconceptions, no hype and no spoilers, only so I could watch it with truly fresh eyes. I've got to say, I like it. It is entertaining, fun and has a deep message that resonates with me. I can't believe people actually hate this movie. I mean there is a couple of obvious issues:1) This one completely runs over the OT, it throws a lot of things people loved about it under the bus. In a way it renders the victories of the previous movies moot.2) Luke looks and acts on a strange way, slightly out of character from what we last saw him. Of course, both those issues have been there since the Force Awakens, they were so obvious from day one. And I enjoyed the Force Awakens despite these problems -and on top of it throwing all prequels under the bus-. The movies still work and are fun to watch. There is so much sense in the way they work. And porgs, porgs are super cute, I love porgs, I want one for Christmas! </blockquote>
