I finally finished my journey with this 42-year story arc, in seeing the last film today on a very large RPX screen, compared with how I saw the first film back in 1977 on a very very large screen (The first one was at a drive-in. Super huge, but terrible sound lol), and it's ending was totally acceptable. I mean, how else can you end something that epic in scope as a story?
It was one HELL of a run. Lightspeed skipping with the Millennium Falcon? That was fun!
