Well parts of the movie sound interesting (older Luke, Han, and Leia played by the same actors, Admiral Ackbar, and Gollum as the main villain), I don't know if the whole premise of the movie is believable. Are they telling us that the Empire survived Palpatine's death and the destruction of both the Imperial Fleet and the second Death Star, and has continued to thrive under Snoke's leadership for 30 years? Here I thought the rebels were completely victorious at the end of Return of the Jedi and Princess Leia would resurrect the old Republic or something

At least they're not saying Palpatine is still alive, he's my number one favorite villain death
