A stunning entry in the franchise, which frankly comes as a massive shock following Disney's previous entries in the franchise. This film manages to rewrite the EU canon in a satisfying way that up to this point was inconceivable from modern Star Wars writers and producers.
The casting is great, the acting is on-point, the effects are generally phenomenal, and the use of practical effects really grounds it in the OT Era. The setting of the final battle is gorgeous, both in it's landscape and the Imperial Installations. The space battle is phenomenal with extremely creative tactics combined with awesome cinematography.
Darth Vader is the most menacing he's ever been on screen. The finale hits the best emotional pitch since ESB and ROTS. Even the CGI de-aging while imperfect is satisfying enough to justify it's inclusion.
