It was everything I thought it would be: a soulless mess. Nobody has any motivation for doing anything. Kylo is bad, because reasons. Rey is good, because reasons. The Emperor is back, because reasons. He has a large fleet that wants to do bad things, because reasons. At the end Rey gets to walk away with Han’s Falcon, Luke’s X-wing, Luke’s Lightsaber, Luke’s home, and Luke’s last name, because reasons.

Maybe if J.J. Abrams had an ounce of creativity we would eventually get to those reasons, but we never do. It was just a rehash of all the greatest hits from a trilogy that had already been done perfectly 40 years ago. It’s kind of sad actually, like listening to a tone-deaf teenage band trying to recreate Aerosmith in their garage. Nostalgia sells, but never satisfies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Rise of Skywalker is the Fall of Disney Star Wars - for Kathleen Kennedy, a disaster in commercial and critical terms - and for fans, a betrayal of George Lucas's 6 films. Why? Anakin Skywalker - the one who brings balance to the Force by going from good to evil (Vader) and back again by killing the Emperor - is betrayed. The Emperor's grand daughter Rey is the saviour - she supplants Anakin as the hero, and the Palpatines become the victors. This undermines everything more that The Last Jedi - it undermines everything Lucas did. All in the name of vapid, Mary Sue feminism. No matter how much money it made, how slick it looked, how much Daisy Ridley's eyes bugged out - this is one disaster of a film. Iger should fire KK and put Jon Favereau and Dave Filoni in charge - as there work on The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars proves, they feel the Force and the Force is with them.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WHAT A MESS! THIS MOVIE AND THIS WHOLE 3 MOVIE TRILOGY! What's truly sad is they had all the resources to make a GREAT 3 movies (think THE LORD OF THE RINGS)..great director, great actors the budget to afford AAA sets and Special Effects (and to THAT point the SPFX: they WERE AMAZING..the "eye candy" was off the charts)..BUT much like the recent disaster that was the final season of Game of Thrones..the thing that DOOMED these 3 movies was strangely enough the simplest and cheapest component of making the movies: IMAGINATION, ORIGINALITY, LOGIC, REASON, COMMON SENSE..all these things are EASY! it's having the money to make these concepts come to life on film that should have been the hard part.

I was stunned when FORCE AWAKENS dropped only to realize it was a reskin of A NEW HOPE

..went to go see LAST JEDI hoping FA was a fluke..NOPE! same MIND NUMBINGLY STUPID STORY TELLING AND PLOT MECHANICS (plus why bring back Han and Luke..if you're only gonna kill them off so quick..yeah OK Leah stuck around..but of the 3 she was least interesting and (sadly) offed herself in real life

..swore I would not go see RISE SKYWALKER in theatre..and did not..but past weekend if honor May4th finally bought it on PPV..and I was right same crappy plot and weak writing

I was a 10 year old kid when I was IN AWE when I first saw Star Destroyer pass overhead in opening shot of A NEW HOPE..not trying to sound like a 50 yr old sci fi dork..but

THANKS DISNEY! YOU RUINED STAR WARS FOR ME!

..and much like Game of Thrones..that so desperately wants me to get excited about the NEXT GoT prequel/sequel?

..after you completely "mailed in" your last material

..why on earth do you think I wanna sign up for more?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Aaaaah...this really is the poorest Star Wars film of the lot. Three films that feel totally disconnected and lacking a sense of direction and purpose.

The latest one sees numerous light sabre battles that are simply meaningless and monotonous. I just cant help but feel that the writers have done a really poor job of building up a climax over the course of 3 fulms. Compared to this, the prequel trilogy is a work of art.… Expand

JJ attempted to patch all the plot holes left by Rian Johnson by rushing a carbon copy of Return of the Jedi with enhanced effects and failed.

KK attempted to appease blue checkmarks wth forced diversity, 3rd wave feminism, and garbage politics... She has failed to learn that they can never be satisfied and will hopefully lose her job soon.

This movie attempts to lure in loyal star wars fans with abundant fan service so the little mouse can count his enormous amount of revenue. (Huh huh) *mickey mouse laugh*

The cinematography and soundtrack are the highlights and are my justification for 2/10. It should really be 1/10 because the soundtrack has been the same since A New Hope, but I also give JJ credit for even having the guts to attempt following up Rian Johnson's abortion.

Rey is a God and shall not be defeated, she is the best, nothing comes close, she knows everything, wins everything, knows all the tricks and abilities without training, she is a real HERo and in no way a Mary Sue, and you're a misogynist if you disagree with this sentiment.

- Unoriginal plot
- Undoes the original trilogy
- Terrible acting across the board
- Rushed production
- Pacing is all over the place
- Awful characters
- Abused fan service
- Pandering and politics
- Incompetent writing across the trilogy
- Murdered a once great franchise
- Literally no explanation for anything that transpired in this film... oooo mystery box JJ at it again.

Overall, The Force is Female, Rey is Space Jesus, and I give this 2 porgs on a stick out of 10.

P.S. Fire KK

Sincerely,

The entire Star Wars fan base.… Expand

And the pain of finally realizing that Disney actually had no plan for this trilogy - that they actually winged it... it made me concerned about the times we live in. I won't even walk to the corner store without considering a route to get there and what to bring. It seems they just tossed the ball up in the air on this one.

However, the latest installment, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," falls far short ofThe Star Wars franchise has been a beloved cultural icon for decades, with its epic space battles, iconic characters, and timeless storytelling. However, the latest installment, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," falls far short of expectations and fails to capture the magic of the previous films.

The film's plot is convoluted and disjointed, with unnecessary subplots that add little to the overall story. The pacing is uneven, with action sequences that feel rushed and dialogue scenes that drag on for far too long. The film tries to cram in too many characters and storylines, leaving many of them underdeveloped and ultimately unsatisfying.

Moreover, the film's attempts at fan service are heavy-handed and feel forced, with callbacks to previous films that feel out of place and unnecessary. The film also fails to deliver on its promise of a satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga, with a resolution that feels rushed and unsatisfying.

Additionally, the performances of the cast, including franchise veterans like Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver, feel wooden and uninspired, with little chemistry between characters. Even the iconic score by composer John Williams fails to capture the excitement and wonder of the previous films.

Overall, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is a disappointing conclusion to a beloved franchise, failing to deliver on its promise of a satisfying conclusion and feeling like a cheap imitation of the previous films. Fans of the series are better off revisiting the original trilogy than wasting their time with this lackluster installment.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The final chapter of the Skywalker saga is simply rushed and unoriginal. The movie does not give you any time to process what’s happening scene to scene and there is a severe lack of character development within the movie as well. None of the characters are used properly and Rey’s origin story feels like a cop out and to be honest, you could probably watch this movie without TLJ entirely because there is barely any continuity. It’s a shame we have to end the saga this way and I think JJ played it way too safe and that was his downfall. From start to finish TROS is a complete mess and I wish I would have gone to see Cats instead, because then I wouldn’t have to deal with the surge of negative emotions that overcame me from the moment the credits started to roll. A horny cat story sounds much better than that.… Expand

There is literally no reason this movie or trilogy exists, but we know why it does: To make money and to please dumb fans who get impressed by the most trivial things. Woah! Palpatine is back! It was very cool that he survived somehow only to be defeated very easily. Definitely cool to watch after the perfect ending that was Return of the Jedi! Like I said, there is NO REASON this movie exists. It is just an much inferior version of the original trilogy's ending. These Disney films can't stand on their own two feet without the original trilogy. I have no attachment to any of the new characters, their character arcs were horrible, this story is horrible. The most insulting thing is that Anakin didn't play a major role. J.J. Abrams said he brought back Palpatine because it wouldn't make sense to not have him in a 9 chapter story, but in that case why didn't you include the MAIN HERO of the prequels who is also the MAIN VILLAIN of the original trilogy? It would have been a powerful moment to have Anakin, who Kylo idolizes, redeem his grandson. Instead we get Han who... appears? Somehow? As a force ghost... I guess? I don't even know. It makes no sense and Anakin would have made much more sense. There's also no reason Kylo Ren should give a **** about Han Solo other than him being his father, it seemed like they have barely any attachment to eachother at all. This movie and this trilogy disrespected Star Wars, and I am disgusted. The main reason this film is bad is due to The Last Jedi not leaving any room for anything else to happen, that movie took steps back so they were forced to dig deep and bring back Palpatine. There is so much **** that is confusing... Palpatine made Snoke? He had clones of Snoke? Why didn't he use multiple Snokes? Does Snoke have a mind of his own? It's not even worth understanding so I won't even try. This trilogy is such a joke, there was no direction and clashing directors. It was a mistake to have JJ direct the last film, it's also a mistake to give the director ALL creative control. This plot in this movie is on par with a sixth graders' terrible, terrible fan fiction. Palpatine should have been easily able to defeat Rey, did they forget he is one of the best lightsaber wielders? Why didn't he push Rey down the pit where he pushed Kylo? Why is Palpatine a one-trick-pony who can only use lightning and didn't even stop using it against Rey when CLEARLY he was dying. So **** stupid. The reason he kept doing it against Mace Windu in the prequels is because he wanted Anakin to help him, but even then he didn't have a lightsaber. Also, why the hell does Palpatine DISINTEGRATE from force lightning just because Rey has two lightsabers? Why does Rey go to a planet the Skywalkers hated and bury Luke and Anakin's lightsabers with a droid that isn't even hers? Why does she call herself Rey Skywalker? Imagine if instead it was: "Your name's Rey? Where are you from? Oh, you're alone and don't have a people? We'll call you... Rey Solo" (just making fun at Solo). This is the least satisfying conclusion to a nine part film saga. Return of the Jedi's ending was perfect, the new trilogy has NO VISION. A small nitpick but this film also has the worst soundtrack out of any Star Wars movie, with very little variety as they use the same like 5 themes. If force ghosts can interact with the world, why don't they fight Palpatine? They can cast lightning and lift X-Wings, they're already dead so why the **** don't they fight Palpatine lmao. I was 100% rooting for Palpatine, and I can't imagine why you wouldn't. He is a much better character than the new protagonists, yet Palpatine is a joke in this movie and his plan makes 0 sense. He was for sure an asspull, it's insulting that he survives after Episode 6. The whole point of the first six movies was Darth Vader's redemption. This movie is just a ****ty version of that, with Kylo Ren's redemption after a very forced kiss with Rey. He just disappears lmao. It was a terrible decision to have the SEVENTH MOVIE in a 9 part story be a remake of part 4, while the ninth movie is a remake of the sixth part. We already saw all this **** in Episode 6 but it was actually meaningful, now we have Rey representing all the Jedi that have ever existed... why the hell. That was the whole point of Luke, and he was supposed to rebuild/revive the Jedi, and represent the Last Jedi. Even though they made a movie called "The Last Jedi"-- you realize he was the Last Jedi in Episode 6??? They were so afraid of the prequel backlash they just remade the same **** story. Episode 8 was so afraid of backlash (albeit it was a small amount) they tried desperately to subvert expectations. After Episode 8 backlash they played it safe like TFA again, and it leads to the least satisfying ending of all time. It would have been neat to have the Jedi back, even if it was just a small number like 15 Jedi. Running out of characters. TLDR; this movie is awful.… Expand

Disney and Lucas continue to take advantage of their fans for nostalgia and making moments not memories. The lightsaber fights were also very stagnate and my god how many new force abilities can one cram into one movie? It also showcases the fight between J.J Abrams and Rian Johnson on how they can't decide how to direct all three movies and it shows as they seem to switch back and forth between directors and completely toss away everything it set up form the previous 2 movies. One scene in particular is when Finn tries to tell Rey something important before being engulfed in quicksand. They bring up what Finn was going to say and he decides to keep it a secret. What seems like a little joke is brought 2 MORE TIMES up in the movie and every time, Finn decides not to say anything and we never learn what Finn says. Did they just forget about it? Was it J.J's idea and Rian didn't want any part in it? I don't know. But one thing for certain is that this is the worst movie of all 9 and worst trilogy of all 3. The prequels were bad but at least all 3 movies worked together.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very bad movie. My hype was very high for this film, although I know that its predecessor "Star Wars The Last Jedi" was very bad, I was wrong to think that this film could be better than episode VIII, this film is much worse than the its predecessor. Why bring Palpatine back ?????? This totally breaks the proficiency of the chosen and Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker. Rey’s kiss with Kylo Ren / Ben Solo is the worst scene in the movie, Rey’s healing power is terrible, out of nowhere she becomes a "Jedi" and learns to do that? (Information on the Star Wars canon) Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidius' master "Darth Plagueis" did not achieve this power, as Palpatine says in episode III Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, so out of nowhere Rey learns to manipulate "Midichlorians" heal and transfer vitality to another person. Another detail **** is Rey being granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, what the hell is that ?? !! I don't even comment on Rey at the end of the movie saying "I'm Rey, Rey Skywalker". The film also has "cool" things, like the space battle at the end of the film, Kylo Ren is still amazing, Rey’s yellow saber, the soundtrack, the visual effects and, of course, the droids R2-D2 and C3 - PO , BB -8 and the new one that I forgot the name.

In general, Star Wars Episode IX sucks and shouldn't be watched, one of the worst Star wars of all time. A film not recommended for Star Wars fans like me, and also not recommended for anyone, watch at your own risk.

Note that this was my opinion about the film.… Expand

Admittedly it would be hard to finish out an ill-planned trilogy, but doubling down on story and writing decisions made by the previous film would have been the best option in the field of very little places to go. Instead the film unnecessarily trashes the previous film and "fixes" what I can only imagine JJ Abrams saw as 'mistakes'. As a result, the film seems liked a rushed mixed bag filled with hollow moments and empty fan service. Rather than try to rush out a film in 2 years, this would have been better saved with more time on the writing floor, and communicating with the previous director.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far and away the worst Star Wars feature film in the main storyline. It has "Skywalker" in the name but it blowtorches the Skywalker legacy. Kylo is rendered an impotent ass who loses every single fight, Rey is an overpowered Force demigod, Rose and Finn are forgotten and Poe doesn't evolve from his experiences in TLJ. And we can't forget bringing back Palpatine, the worst story decision in the history of the franchise. The visuals are fantastic and the action fast-paced, but it leaves you feeling hollow, not only for the 2+ hours you've wasted trying to digest everything in this film, but for investing decades into a story that now means nothing. Everything that was built in the original films and even the prequels is annihilated to give Rey a yellow lightsaber. Characters like BB-8, R2-D2, Chewbacca, are merely eye candy. The only achievement this film has to its name is that it somehow made The Last Jedi, itself a gross failure of story, seem better by comparison.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went and saw the movie with my family around the time it hit theaters. My expectations were low after the last Disney **** they tried to pass off as a Star wars movie. The plot of The Rise of Skywalker has so many plot holes it's more akin to swiss cheese than a movie plot about space wizards. My experience with the movie wasn't all bad, though. The space battle at the end was the most enjoyable part of the movie. The entire begining and middle of the movie felt like filler. The whole, "I am all the sith; and I am all the jedi" sequence was really cringey and could have been done a lot better. The Reylo fan service at the end could have been left out entirely, as it made no sense at all. Rey and Kylo barely had any "chemistry" if you can even call it that.… Expand

En definitiva la gota de mediocridad que ha colmado el vaso en Disney, la prueba de que este director nunca mas debería acercarse a anda relacionado con la franquicia y una película que habría que enterrar en el desierto junto a los juegos de E.T y nunca mas volver a hablar de ella, son malos tiempos para la lírica.… Expand

Rather then choosing to let the story that Rian Johnson set up in the predecessor play itself out, instead this movie tries to do damage control by retconning nearly every revelation that made episode 8 unique and pushing aside characters who the fandom didn't rave about. Rose doesn't accompany the team on their mission, because she has to study. Can't she just pack her things and study while their traveling through hyperspace? Come on! Rey's parents were nobodys, but now sees the kinda sorta grandchild of Emperor Palpatine. Really? Oh yeah I forgot to mention, Palpatine's back. And that's not a spoiler because it's made perfectly clear from the crawls first sentence that he's back baby and with a whole new fleet of star destroyers with planet destroying weapons. How original. Seem like Palpatine, just like the film makers, are able to discern what tactics are most effect. Anyway why is Palpatine back again. Oh ok we need a new Snoke cause he was kinda chopped in half last time around so now we're going to resurrect the classic Star Wars big bad who Snoke was based on who was thrown down a shaft and blew up, sounds good. Face palm. But don't worry you can join the gang as they go to get the thing that gives them some information about another thing that shows them who to get the other thing that shows them where to go. And watch as the movie expects us to care when all the things go down at the end but really we don't and just want to movie to be over already so we can get the homework done. The only thing holding this thing together is the beautiful set design, cgi, acting, and everything relating to the character of Kylo Ren, but outside of that this film is a complete and total mess.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst thing that Star Wars has ever made as a franchise. After the good and ORIGINAL work that Ryan Johnson has made, picking the ideas that George Lucas had and turned them into his personal view (the old Luke thing was created by Lucas) and the brother-sister relationship development between Rey and Kylo was just amazing. J.J. comes back from his Episode IV with different skins and resolution and decided to trow in the trash everything that the only real author who's worked on the third trilogy did. Now Rey and Kylo are in love, the entire movie is just episode V and VI put together badly, and there is Palpatine.
I won't ever forget how the scene from episode VIII where Kylo kills Snoke was intense, he was finally capable to do what Vader didn't: being the real bad guy, who really decided what to do and with no rules. J.J. decided that he needed a new Snoke again.
The visuals are impressive but from Disney that's the minimum that I expect.
I wont linger in all the Finn and Poe scenes and the continuous second thoughts that the film mades constantly.

George after watching "The Force Awakens" said "people will like that". That's no compliment, he always went counter-current, just look at his career and the second trilogy. When the man that created the saga says the worst thing that he could ever say to describe the modus operandi of a director and you bring it back to the most important film for the saga, you know you did an error and that everything went wrong.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first watched Rise of Skywalker, I thought it was just ok. I had seedlings of problems with the film, but they were small enough to where it didn't kill the film. However, after letting the film sit for a while and rewatching the first 8 films, those seedlings have grown into substantial issues that big the entire film down. Before I go into more detail, let me get these two things out of the way. 1: Disney clearly had no idea where this trilogy was going, and so a lot of my problems can be blamed on Disney rather than JJ or anyone else who worked on this movie. 2: I liked the Last Jedi. Not because it was an amazing movie, but because it kept me invested. The twists and turns, while maybe not the best decision for the series in the long run, made me wanna keep watching to see what happens next. The overall climax was epic in every sense of the word. The film was just interesting, which is something I cannot say about Rise of Skywalker. In short, my main problems with ROS are that it felt like a fan fiction, contradicted almost every Star Wars film, and was poorly written and boring. As stated before, it was clear Disney didn't know what they were doing, but I think JJ had a plan. I believe that JJ was setting up something with Force Awakens. However, Disney handed the wheel over to Rian, who then steered JJ's plan way off track. But, when the backlash to Last Jedi came in swinging, Disney gave the wheel back to JJ and said, "Fix this please." So, JJ used ROS to repair the damage Last Jedi caused. Which wouldn't be a problem, if that wasn't the only thing ROS felt like it did. To me, it feels like ROS leans to heavily into the "fix Rian's mistakes" camp, rather then the "conclude this trilogy well" camp. This fix it mentality is also what makes ROS feel like a fan fiction. What I mean by that, is that it seems like the whole movie was written by an upset fan after the Last Jedi. This does not bode well for the movie, as it makes the writing feel messy and not like a Star Wars movie. Speaking of Star Wars movies, this film contradicts and rejects multiple ideas from the previous movies via its most heinous addition: Emperor Palpatine lives. You see, there was this great moment in Revenge of the Sith where Palpatine tells Anakin the story of how Darth Plagueis was murdered by his apprentice. "Ironic." Palpatine says at the end of the the tale. This was a great moment because we know that Palpatine also dies to his own apprentice! Except he doesn't because ROS said so! Also the prophecy and many other lines about Anakin defeating the sith are completely butchered by this decision. Honestly, this single choice kills the movie for me now because I can't watch the first 6 films without being reminded that there lines are rendered pointless. Finally, I just thought the film was a boring string of fetch quests, which is just bad writing. I don't have as much to say about this point, it's pretty self explanatory. Overall, this film is a mess and is constantly struggling to both end this trilogy in a satisfactory way and answer fan complaints about the Last Jedi.… Expand

Characters wander off and reappear out of nowhere, looking for something they need without knowing why. All is on a straight line, yet goes in circles. Everybody runs as fast as they can, so no one moves at all...
As with TLJ, I have to say I have never seen a big studio blockbuster like that. But where TLJ tried to tell a different story, here it seems like Disney gave up after the backlash and now retreats into the vague and atmospheric, where it feels like SW, but literally does nothing, so no one can complain.
So, one point for achieving exactly what they wanted, one point for set- and sound-design, Adam Driver, Babo Frik, and how happy everybody is in the end, and no more points, because there literally is nothing else.… Expand

I wouldn't know a Star Wars from a Star Trek though I believe I saw the first Star Wars movie and one later on. I had to approach this movie as a stand alone film and I must admit I was confused from the first frame to the last not knowing who was who and then all of a sudden there is Mark Hamil here for a few seconds, Harrison Ford with even less screen time but I did recognize Carrie Fisher who played the princess with the hair buns who faded in and out.

It may mean something I remember the robots from the first film and I saw the hairy Chewbacca who I remember from somewhere but the relationships between the various characters are a complete mystery to me.

There are certainly a lot plane fights not to forget all the light saber fights. There is one action scene after another as if the film stopped to hold its breath for a minute the audience would moan.

The movie is 141 minutes, seems to move fast with all the action but seemed to have taken 4 days to watch!

It was good seeing Adam Driver as I had been very impressed with him in both "The Report" a Prime Video movie and "The Marriage Story", which should definitely get him an Oscar nomination, but I have no idea who he is in this movie.

Maybe if I had seen the 9 films, 5 series, 4 Animated mini-series, 3 live action series and the 3 Star Wars TV films I might have liked this better but even Allen, who is a Star Wars fan and the reason we went to see this, wasn't impressed.

I really can't recommend this movie but I will let the Star Wars fans make up their own mind about seeing it and, yes, millions are seeing it.… Expand

How to ruin a saga with a bad ending of a bad trilogy. All you learned from the previous movies is totally ruined and retconned. The worst Star Wars movie. I give 2/10 only for the good VFX.

Has a few fun moments scattered throughout but overall the film is a complete mess that spends more time trying to cater to critics of the previous movie rather than tell a good story in its own right.

Rise of Skywalker is a truly bad, beyond belief bad. My opinion of the Sequel Trilogy as a whole, is that Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi is the only good Sequel Trilogy movie. The Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker, both written and directed,Rise of Skywalker is a truly bad, beyond belief bad. My opinion of the Sequel Trilogy as a whole, is that Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi is the only good Sequel Trilogy movie. The Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker, both written and directed, by JJ Abrams, both are terrible movies. The cast and the VFC are pretty good across all the Trilogy, but the problem is named JJ Abrams. I don't understand how they didn't fired him mid-filming. Abrams has not a single creative bone, this is the bad-remake of Return of the Jedi w that we all feared after seeing the bad remake of A New Hope that Abrams called The Force Awakens. There is this bit that made me angry and want to leave the theater. It was when Luke picked the sword. Luke famously threw it at the end of Return of the Jedi, this to save his father Anakin/ Darth Vader (this was Luke's whole character development, the character defining moment). Then he famously threw it again at the beginning of The Last Jedi, this time to save would be Kylo Ren nephew, Ben Solo. Luke Skywalker picking the sword and telling Rey to never throw it? It felt out of character, worse a full character betrayal. JJ Abrams wanted to apologize for the previous film and made it worse, a thousand times wors
Se. The implication of that quote is that Luke regrets not killing his enemies. Despite that trait being Luke's best strength, his pityy towards his enemies By doing that, Luke regretted his pacifism. The whole arc of the previous film was Luke choosing pacifism. This development is a 180, that happened off-screen. Is unjustified, it contradicts the character whole life.

Then every single character revives innthis film. Not even only Palpatine (which is anoying never explained). Chewbacca also revives, and Babu Fric, and Rey and Kylo Ren. So the death feels chepa. Because the villian revived a clear death. Why should we believe this death?

Nothing makes sense, the editing is so hyperactive that it feels like a videogame speed-run. Characters are hyperactively trying to skip to the next scene. Millennium Falcon skip is a good metafore for the rest of the movie.

Then Rey's parentage contradicts the previous nmovie, it doesn't add anything to the plot. Is rushed, under developed. You could remove the plotline and still get the same ending. Then those 2 female new characters, are nott but glorified extras (seriously the worst 2 Star Wars characters, Captain "give up without fighting" Phasma as written by JJ Abrams in The Force Awakens is also there but is better because Rian Johnson at least gave her a fight in Last Jedi). I would had rather seen Rose Tico get an arc. At least she was a character. Then, the Knights of Ren are embarrassingly bad, is like 6 Boba Fett deaths, even Snoke's red guards from The Last Jedi got more to do, why do the Knights of Ren feel like the dollar store version? Hux was in previous 2 films, he deserved better than being killed midway, he could have at least been a great Agent Callus remake ( Rebels cartoon, imperial deflector) or let him go to tow to toe against Kylo Ren, with Palpatine's help. Those flaws and retroactively ruining characters, result in JJ Abrams being the sole author of the top 10 worst Star Wars characters. Knights of Ren *6, Phasma 7, Hux 8, the 2 lady extras are 9 and 10. JJ Abrams is that bad a writer/director.

I suppose that Palpatine being Snoke's master explains where Snoke's money came from. But, Palpatine gets nothing to do in the rest of the movie. Then, using him to do a lazy remake of Vader's redemption. This JJ Abrams is lazy. I would had rather seen the un-redeemed version from the leaked script that JJ Abrams discarded. That battle of Coruscant also sounded better.

I hated the 1000 Star Destroyers with Death Star powers, why not just letting Palpatine use Death Star planet destroying powers himself!? Some unseen characters destroy the ones on Endor and Jakuu!? Why? How poorly where they made, if everyone and their dog defeated one!? Same dollar store as Knights of Ren!?

The desert planet Passana felt like it could had been another city on Jakuu or Tatooine, but they changed the name last minute. The fact that those poor desert planets imitations, appear across the Trilogy. It made Tatooine's appearance in the final shot, less special.

Rey Skywalker was a bad twist. She already was Luke's apprentice, the last name was overkill. Just simply Rey, would had been more feminst. Better. I didn't liked… Expand

Worst movie in the series. Boring, stupid, and ugly are the words that best describe it. The biggest waste of $200 Million in human history.

There's no rise of Skywalker. And remember, Rey, you're a Palpatine, not a Skywalker. One of the hugest pieces of **** of all time.

It was a mess that tried to make up for the messes of the previous movies but managed to be even worse. The Last Jedi at least had original ideas and sought to be different, making it the best of the sequels. This, however, was a mess of a plot that tried to make up for its lack of substance with cheap nostalgic feels. Disney, please hire George Lucas and redo this trilogy.… Expand

The Last Jedi was abysmal but the Rise of Skywalker is just as bad if not worse. A plot that makes zero sense and characters that just aren't very interesting.

A plot that makes zero sense and characters that just aren't very interesting. Disney finally kills off the last of the OG heroes in this one and bringing back Palpatine literally undos the entire Skywalker Saga story arch.

This is what I would expect a Star Was film to be with a rabid feminist like Kathleen Kennedy at the helm of LucasFilm. The Phantom Menace and the Clone Wars are much better than this dumpster fire.… Expand

Whether due to his own lack of imagination, studio meddling, or the abomination that Rian Johnson directed, JJ Abrams has wholly and utterly failed to deliver a satisfying end to this abysmal trilogy. The storyline is infantile and nonsensical, the writing itself is hamfisted, and the climax is a laughable double ex-machina. Any praise I could lay upon the actors themselves was wasted by the director and producers. I could be more detailed, but frankly it's not worth my time to type or yours to read.… Expand

However, apparently, after that film's very divisive reaction among fans, Disney decided to completely reverse course and fall back into the "original trilogy rehash" tactic they used to make The Force Awakens. The result is an extremely awkward finale that spends much time poorly retconning virtually every plot development from its predecessor, while also frantically to fit the existing plotline into a mimic of Return of the Jedi. It'd be petty to not at least mention that the CGI is unsurprisingly up to Disney standards, and at least adds some eye-candy enjoyment to the battle scenes and the like. However, overall, the movie feels like an underwhelming finale to a trilogy completely different than the one actually released. The Rise of Skywalker is not just a bad finale, or a bad sequel. It's straight-up a bad film.… Expand
