This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie just ruins Anakin's sacrifice by bringing back Palpatine. Rey is the most boring character ever. Kylo Ren is a wasted character. They **** up by not bringing Anakin back to finish the job. It was clear from the start this trilogy had no plan creatively and they had a political agenda, they didn't give a **** about the fans. **** Disney. **** Kathleen Kennedy. **** Rian Johnson. JJ Abrams man, that poor bastard had a ****ing mess to work with but hey, he's not the most creative guy either. We miss you George.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The end of the Skywalker Saga is just that. All the Skywalkers are dead. I can't help but think that Palpatine won, that the ritual succeeded and he lives in Rey now. That's the only way to explain the butchering of Ben and Rey's characters.

I got what I wanted from this movie. I got reylo. I got Ben's redemption. But it was given so little emotional weight that it felt like a checklist item on a large list of fanservice. I just can't understand how they let this hot garbage out of the editing room.… Expand

The entire movie had to make up for the countless mistakes TLJ made and honestly this was bound to fail from just the beginning. When you realize the sheer amount of potential and story they had... and somehow destroyed it is just BEYOND me its mind blowing. They really should have planned these films out and did better story building because everything was just rushed. The conclusions for each character were terrible and half assed. Somehow they literally trashed Luke and Anakin Skywalker story as if everything they did was for absolutely nothing. Also wtf was the point of finally adding in the Knights of the Ren and they didn't do A DAMN THING?!? Wth lol what was this abysmal movie? I never thought I could ever dislike Star Wars more than I do now and as a fan not even a hater or a troll I am beyond disappointed and sad....… Expand

The editing on this movie is just terrible, probably because the reshoots. The movie is disjointed, messy. There's no much of a plot, just jumping from one set piece to the next. Not much substance. Just plot armor all over.

A bad film, with many things without explanation, jedi powers have become like Marvel superpowers.
I'm speechless..

1) In episode 6, didn't Palpatine's body incinerate, neither after falling into the core of black death, or following the explosion of black death itself? Impossible.
2) If they introduce the power to teleport objects, I expect that introduced any power, such as making disappear stars , creating planets, .....
3) With the exception of those who manage to transform into Force ghost , when a jedi dies he loses his identity.
Obi Wan in episode 6 said he can't interfere with the events, so it's impossible that they spent their energies on Rey.


As a result I stopped following the current canon, I only follow the star wars products prior to 2014 and I ignore everything else.

A sentence summarizes all the things that there would be to say: George Lucas did not participate in the Premier of this film.… Expand

Full of deus ex machinas, unoriginal, a blatant ripoff of return of the jedi, it's sacrificing story in exchange for cheap fan service. A generic and ultimately forgettable movie that has no vision of its own.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not just the worst Star Wars movie ever made, it's one of the worst endings and installments to any franchise I've ever seen.

No new characters were harmed during the making of this film, all the Skywalkers are dead, a girl who is a Palpatine is all of the sith, and she's also all of the Jedi, aka the whole universe, she also takes the Skywalker name, Luke's X Wing, Anakin and Leia's lightsaber, it's like seeing a divorce on-screen.

The lack of imagination is offensive, Palpatine is back in this movie, the questions that come to mind are "Why? How? When?" wasn't he tossed down an elevator shaft and an explosion that followed afterwards?
Didn't the Death Star explode to a million bits along with Palpatine? Are we being lead to believe that he was alive this whole time?

The mindless set pieces are everywhere, there is little danger to the new characters, I know that in Star Wars there's plenty of plot armor, but these people have so much plot armor that they are worth a Cyberdyne factory, the whole Palpatine fleet has Death Star cannons, and if that's not enough, the entire fleet relies on one control tower, and then one ship to take off, then a whole bunch of people show up and it makes you wonder, where was this Rebel fleet during Episode VII or VIII?! it's just candy to keep the audience entertained.

The plot of this movie is so forced, the characters don't drive the plot, the plot drives the characters, it's MacGuffin after MacGuffin, the pacing and editing is too fast, it's scene, scene, scene, scene, objects seem to teleport all over the place, there is enough to make the audience confused rather than intrigued.

This is a total retcon of The Last Jedi, it wanted to please everyone, keep some of what made The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens, it ended up pleasing no one. This is the worst Star Wars film ever made, and every time I watch Batman and Robin or Superman III, I will do it with my subconcious telling me: It could of been a hell of a lot worse.

This movie will serve as an example of that kind of worse, it's bad fan fiction, but what offends me is that people were actually paid to write this movie, what a waste of time and money. Save your own money, and don't even pirate this film because it's not worth the time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WHERE'S THE DIVERSITY?! As a black man who's proud of the multicultural utopia modern civilisation has created, I'm truly disgusted at the lack of progressiveness in this film. I thought the dark era of films was behind us, I thought we had finally reached the age where films didn't give white people such a high percentage of screen time, I was wrong. This film featured far too many white people and my black wife was appalled by Kylo Ren's nasty caveman like appearance, Ren clearly needed some dark chocolate on his body to of made him far less intimidating.

I hated how Finn kept kinda begging Rey to be her boyfriend, it's making us black people out like we love whites sexually which for the most part isn't true. Also Finn should've been less productive in this film as non-blacks do most of the work that keeps civilisation running and us blacks thrive off non-whites superior intellectual capacity in much the same way a dog thrives off the generosity of it's domesticated highly intelligent Human owner. Also I'm truly disturbed by Palpatine's appearance, he made me poo myself!… Expand

Overall The Rise of Skywalker gives a rushed story and sidelines everyone except Rey. Instead of building on the previous film, JJ rapidly introduces new characters that ultimately had no impact to the story. Important events were either changed, ignored, or outright retconned for shock value and the breakneck pace of the film gave little time for characters to stop and process what was going on.

Cameos from original favorites was an attempt to invoke nostalgia and Abrams' attempt to please all sides of a divided fandom fails spectacularly as he and Kathleen Kennedy undermine the message of hope that Star Wars is supposed to be about. Ultimately, this movie is a bad fanfiction from Reddit. Don't waste your time or money on this underwhelming conclusion. If you must see it, wait for the DVD release.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Rise of Skywalker is a compromised movie with enormous plotholes. This is what happens when there is no real clear vision and no original imagination. JJ Abrahams took ideas which where used in the Dark Empire comics from the early 90-ies. In that series the Emporer survived his fall and his Dark life energy was collected and put inside a clone body where he was young again. Luke was turned to the Dark Side and commanded the Eclipse which was a Massive Super StarDestroyer with DeathStar fire power. That was basicly what've we've got in the Rise of Skywalker only badly excecuted and details were changed so it wasn't an exact copy. In TROS there was no explanation at all how the Emporer survived, we just should except it?! There were good parts in the movie but the final battle with the massive fleet was just garbage. There was no real sense of danger, emotion or purpose. By the end of the movie i felt very empty. WTF did i just watched?! They had the chance to make a magical movie with an open ending but they chose this path. In the end we've got a rushed, fake and empty feeling movie which insulted the original movies and true Star Wars fans.… Expand

This film ruins the entire arc of episodes 1-6 by bringing back Palpatine. An absolute disgrace and another appalling failure of this abysmal Disney trilogy.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это удар ножом в спину всем фанатам Звездных Войн! Хотя нет, это не удар в спину это еще хуже, они (создатели фильма) забрались на нас сверху, взяли нож и медленно смотря нам в лицо загоняли его в самое сердце! Когда я смотрел фильм у меня на лбу появилась вмятина из-за фейспаунов, которые я каждый раз себе пробивал. Сюжет просто ужасный. Когда шел смотреть фильм, я уже знал что там будет из-за трелиров, а не из-за сполеров и как я хотел ошибаться, но все оказалось как я и думал.
У меня не было сопереживания из-за победы "доброй" стороны, ведь я знал что в самом конце каким-то чудом они победят, найдут армаду кораблей, Рей получит силы джина и др. Это было смотреть просто скучно и больно из-за лба.
Сама картина если не брать просто идиотские моменты такие как из лука подбивают истребитель (прям как в Рэмбо с рогатки сбивать вертолеты), то картина выглядит неплохо. В добавок уже всем полюбившие мелодии это единственные плюсы.
Я ожидал что это будет потрясающая концовка. Такие были хорошие ожидания, но получилась сырая, очень скучная, недосказанная, местами просто глупая история. Мне очень жаль что я сходил и увидел этот фильм.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't have high expectations going into this movie, but even those couldn't be met. This film is a total mess. It feels like two movies crammed into one and the overall plot has the quality of a mediocre fanfic. Once again the whole movie is full of distracting conveniences, characters that apparently have read the script and "nostalgia baiting". It would be one thing if it was bad on it's own, but they also had to lessen the original trilogy by bringing Palpatine back for this nonsense... To make it short: Nice visuals devoid of any 'real' substance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's just crap. Written by a 12 year old. With Plotholes as big as a deathstar. The story is just checking of boxes and connecting the scenes in coincidences which make no sense whatsoever and are unbelievable dumb. This hole "Trilogy" is such a shame. Not planed at all and ruined 40 years of history. The Prequel trilogy had its flawes as well, but at least the were consistent, had a story and worldbuilding. With this one we have:

-Episode VII, a remake of new Hope
-Episode VIII, crapping all over carpet
-Episode XI, kind of a Return of the Jedi rehash and recycling as much as nostalgia as possible for the most stupid reasons.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disney has got to be the worst thing that ever happened to Star Wars. The people involved in the making of this film as well as the last Jedi as stupid and retarded beyond belief. Everything is rehashed old material, proving the creative (and moral) bankruptcy of Hollyweird. Not to mention the forced diversity, the forced feminism etc...and worst of all the LESBIAN trash that is forced onto the public. This is not Star Wars, it's ANTIFA soy boys and lesbian feminist man haters trying to force their agenda, using an old gravy train that their rich corporate bosses purchased.
Like all old remakes and new films copying old recipes, this incoherent, repetitive, unimaginative piece of dog excrement is feminist to the core and takes essentially male characters and roles and transfers them to feminist "wamen" on a silver plate. Rey's character is so stupid and obviously part of a feminist agenda to say girls can do everything and anything without having to work for it, it's not even funny. And the human feces working at Disney had to validate it by using an old cliche and making Rey into Palpatine's grand-daughter. Hollywood is not only a morally defunct cess pool of LMNOP weirdos and purple haired freaks (like Admiral Haldo and her gender studies look) but it's FORCED diversity as every other character HAS to be a female or black man. There's no room for character development, sensible plot or decent exchange, only cheap special effects without soul, and gender studies and feminist trash that is forced onto a public that does not subscribe or approve of the lesbian feminist agenda. Utter trash. Disney should be recycled into a giant manure pit and the Thrawn trilogy made canon. This completely tosses aside the fact that Skywalker was the chosen one, that the Death Star was pulverized etc...and where did Leia get her training all of a sudden? If she was so powerful, why didn't she train Ben Solo since she's so powerful with the force??
These Hollywood lamos brought back Lando, Palpatine and everyone else just to sell tickets and fool you into believing that this feminist trash was actually about Skywalker. BOYCOTT hollywood and the SJW saga and hit them in the pockets and do not allow them to pollute our entertainment with leftist social justice feminist trash… Expand

Anakin never needed to betray everyone and join the dark side because healing people and bringing them back to life is just a thing now. They establish that force ghost can now interact with the real world and use the force. So why not just have Luke materialize right next to the Emperor and kill him?… Expand

How did Rey learn all these powers without being trained in them? Where was anakin?! I know we heard the voice but he was the chosen one! It is called the “rise of sky walker” for a reason! Not so the most predictable thing in all of movies could happen in Rey taking the name skywalker as her own! Anakin should’ve came to Rey at the end and help defeat Palpatine again but no they really went and did it again thanks Disney… Expand

The only possible way to fix it would be to retcon the sequel trilogy which would never happen. All of the Skywalkers are completely ruined by these movies. Not to mention this movie is also just a horrible movie altogether. The visuals and action were very meh, especially for a movie that doesn’t even have a semblance of good writing to hold it up. The pacing is so ridiculously fast that if you went to the bathroom for 5 minutes they would have been to 3 different planets in that time. The writing is easily the worst in any Star Wars medium based alone on plot holes. JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson have ruined Star Wars and it seems like they’ve done it on purpose just to make it their own. They neutered the previous movies and characters and made Rey so ridiculously op that no other character could ever top them.… Expand
