The first half of the movie was basically like watching someone play a fetch quest in a video game after they've entered godmode cheats. Rey's overpoweredness is even worse in this movie, with her suddenly able to do insane things that we haven't seen ever before. The side effect of this is that every moment of her on screen is devoid of tension, because she is guaranteed to win in spectacular fashion. It is also jam packed with memberberries.

The movie completely invalidates and ruins the achievements and payoffs of the first six movies, and the movie doesn't offer any explanation on why this happened. It was infuriating how they canceled out everything that happened in Return of the Jedi, and then proceeded to remake it during the second half of the movie.

This whole trilogy needed an outline and game plan. It is an incoherent mess devoid of good storytelling elements.… Expand

The Rise of Skywalker confirms that Disney had no overarching plan when they began the sequel trilogy. Episodes 7-9 are utterly pointless, and they undermine the conclusion of Return of the Jedi and the story arc of Anakin Skywalker.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fan service: 8
Actual Story: 2

Rise of the Skywalker is a fast forward movie trying to reckon the "important" parts of The Last Jedi. While at the same time tries to give you a story.

The problem that I have with this trilogy is that it make feel that now this whole SAGA is no longer a bout the Skywalker's, is but instead the Emperor Palpatine. The narrator of the trailer should be saying, Thr Emperor Palpatine is back and now his granddaughter Palpatine RISES to confront him.

One way you could fix the titles of episode 8 and 9 is if you inverted those titles. Episode 8 should be called Rise of the Skywalker since Luke Skywalker Rise to confront his actions one more time. And episode 9 should be called Te Last Jedi. Rey ends being thr Last Jedi at the of her chapter.

Episode 7, 8 & 9 feels like a small reboot of episode 4, 5 & 6. Cause you can watch this new trilogy's without ever watching the first six movies since they eliminated that Anakin is the chosen one, theres no need to watch his six movie arcs. It's a shame that they wanted to give you a movie focused on fan service instead of give us a proper story on the Skywalker SAGA.… Expand

But even if the Story is bad, You should appreciate the work put into the CGI and the cast.… Expand

People, we gotta be true, enough with the lies: let's see what we have in front of our eyes. Those who fail to do this will be judged by history. I'm talking about the critic reviews, from the "professionals", that I saw coming here today, here today after waiting some days to really understand what I saw. There's a good reason to think that many professionals would be scared to express negativity against the Disney empire, I guess that's the only reason to give a positive review to this... movie: it is an extended trailer.
Those people lost all their credibility in this month of December of 2019 where Ep 9 of our beloved Saga has concluded a trilogy of disasters!
The movie it's so bad, I couldn't believe that there were people with functioning brains behind this exploit... but apparently there's tons of people and tons of money behind it, but the problem is that they think that the people in the other side are stupid. They thought we would eat everything they would throw at us, because we are blind from the passion: I am afraid that that was a wrong assumption: those people will be judge.

This is the conclusion of a way of working and a way of thinking that has gone bad. You can really feel, it is palpable, all the production problems they had. Watching this movie it's like watching a plumber trying to put patches on several holes where water leaks: The more he patches the more other holes form. We all know why this happened. Ep 7 had a direction, Ep 8 destroyed that direction - went in a different way, Ep 9 picked up the new direction ( it was an obligation after all) then also picked up the first direction from Ep 1 and tried to patch all the mess together... well, thanks for this.
Almost everything about the movie sucks. There's no Star Wars here! They killed the Star Wars vibe, they did not understood Star Wars. But there's too many bad things to talk about and only 5000 characters! Hey a new fetish has born these days: watching Rant movies! We can thank the new trilogy for that! Fan Rant movies are a thing now, and they are so much entertaining that the movies! why? well: they makes us laugh. Why laugh and not crying in disappointment? Because, silly, you need not to consider this trilogy has canon: Star Wars ended with The Return of The Jedi. That's it. The rest is comedy.

The story is nonsensical, the characters have no deepness, the franchise classical vibe it's not there - ever, resulting in the fan service things really forced and a lack of respect... this is a mess.

Please do as I do:
Do not consider this movies as Star Wars sequels.
Let's spread this way of thinking, not because we hate this person or that company, but because the product that was made it's not up to the standards. So yeah, we have the right to deny the "effort".
I salute you all.… Expand

While having the look, sound, feel and the obvious production values of previous Star Wars movies, TRoS fails badly in terms of plot, imagination, pacing, characterisation and satisfaction. It's a hollow and uninspired Star Wars movie.
I'dWhile having the look, sound, feel and the obvious production values of previous Star Wars movies, TRoS fails badly in terms of plot, imagination, pacing, characterisation and satisfaction. It's a hollow and uninspired Star Wars movie.
I'd love to start with the positives but unfortunately the bad stuff tanks this movie so badly it's where you must start because it's so shocking where Star Wars has ended up. TRoS feels in different ways worse than Solo. I have to start with the plot, it's unimaginative and empty. You get thrust into the middle of things already happening and only have the opening crawl to know slightly what's going on. Then everything in from there happens at hyperdrive speeds. You just get exposition thrown at you and vague reasons for why our heroes have to go somewhere. Questions about the mission and how did stuff happen are just bluntly explained away with a sentence from someone. There is no mystery or clever thinking it's just go there and stumble across the answer. The film allows you no time to get to know a place or a character. The pacing is rushed and if you don't listen to every quick conversation you will miss something. Fortunately the plot is so basic like a World of Warcraft fetch quest that if you do miss a line it doesn't matter. It's a McGuffin hunt directing Rey to we all know what because the trailers have already spoiled it and the opening crawl spells it out. The camaraderie between our heroes is lousy, they just bicker and the tiny bit of wit they do show is eye rolling bad. The dialogue is basic and does the job but no effective wit and humour. I only chuckled at one line C3PO said and somethings Babu Frik said and did. Nothing else amused me even Chewy or D-O didn't add any humour. Rey is who you spend easily 95% of the movie with either on her own or with someone and unfortunately Daisy Ridley just doesn't act the part very well. She isn't very expressive and is one dimensional. Her performance isn't truely believable, her anger doesn't come over and her happy side is just a grin. Many scenes shes in shock or bewilderment and in them she just looks like a rabbit in the headlights. Oscar Isaacs is good if predictable and John Boyega's performance is the best out of the main stars but nothing special. The new characters are awfully implemented they just appear and you just have to go along with it and not expect a proper introduction to them. I truthfully can't remember their names. They come into the story so abruptly and then they go away and show up barely at the end. Don't know why they bothered putting them in, they're just in there as a means to an end I guess and just products of bad writing. The film squeezes in so much exposition and McGuffin hunts into the 2 hrs 20, the movie doesn't have space for character development. The Knights of Ren have about 2 minutes of screen time, no joke ! Some characters also make illogical decisions throughout and their motivation for why they suddenly decide to do something isn't well conveyed over to the audience, you just have to go along with it and not question why. I guess it keeps the pace up not deeply getting into the why, they just do. I prefer being involved in characters thought processes. The First Order scenes are just cheesy and bad, I just didn't feel any threat from them and they felt like pantomine villains. Hux and Pryde are crinchy and lame.
The lightsaber battles were fun if a little short and predictable. The fighting scenes became ridiculous though with the use of 3 different never before seen force powers which made the final battle and aftermath laughable. Now for the good...
The visual presentation on show is impressive. The locations and sets look great with amazing vibrancy and detail, everything is spot on, it looks Star Wars. The CGI is solid as all the ships, speeders and structures are well rendered although some of the graphics in outside scenes like on the desert planet look fake. The special visual effects are top notch every blaster flash and explosion. They thankfully haven't tinkered with the library of Skywalker Sound assets so every lightsaber zoom and TIE fighter screech are exact. The music is the best part of the film, it's the original trilogy John Williams themes which have been lifted and polished to perfection. The nostalgia is what Abrams nails and he knows how to milk it through sound and visuals. There are lots of new aliens which look great and are all done using animatronics. The space battles are good and decent but you don't get much more than 10 second flashes of dogfighting before it cuts to something else. The ship battles and saber battles are exciting but before you can really get into them they're over.
There were some good performances from Ian McDiarmid, Adam Driver, Billy Dee Williams and Mark Hamill. The Leia scenes are cleverly implemented with old Carrie Fisher footage.
A disappointing end to the saga.… Expand

There was too much story crammed into one film. Major events happen then get completely reversed a couple of scenes later. The plot of the first half of the film involves a ridiculous mcguffin which makes no sense (why would anyone create a random dagger in the shape of the death star ruins with a weird device pointing at the throne room?). The overall plot of the film (the Emperor returning) is introduced with no explanation, and the final battle resolves itself through shonen anime logic - Rey wins effectively through the "power of friendship" of having all the previous Jedi on her side. It's never explained why "all the Jedi" beats "all the Sith" which are apparently in Palpatine. And that's not even mentioning the nonsense that is Ben resurrecting Rey with the force, which completely undermines the point of the prequel trilogy. And it just flat out retcons major plot and character developments from the previous film! There were a few positives, however. C-3PO was consistently funny without getting stale. Babu Frik was hilarious. The Ben and Rey scenes were very well acted (even though the story itself was crap). But ultimately, the vast majority of this film was just complete nonsense.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched this movie with VERY low expectations ater reading the leaks. I was going to recap the entire film but that would've been WAY TOO LONG. Don't get me wrong, there are genuinely good moments and few scenes that I liked, such as the C3PO and R2D2 scene, the scene where Chewbacca and Lando reunited. I still REALLY had a tiny bit of hope after the final trailer got me anticipating and hyping this movie but the hope was instantaneously destroyed when the opening crawl started.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many questions. Rey is so OP it doesn't make sense to take anyone to fight with her. When they fall through the sand into the underground cave, why doesn't the sand fall through the hole as well? Why are Star Destroyers as powerful as the Death Star? Why is the entire fleet of Star Destroyers hidden under the ice on Exogul, a planet so hard to find that you need an old school nav system to find out? Why are the Star Destroyers only able to be piloted if they are in communication with a puny antennae or the "mothership" and when the "mothership" goes down why are these massive technologically advanced ships rendered useless? Is it the hive queen from Ender's Game? I don't even know. Just hope this is Disney's last Star Wars movie. Ugh.… Expand

There are macguffins within macguffins. New planets and characters appeared then were gone before I could get a chance to care that they were gone. I keep hearing John Williams's score was fantastic, but I remember hearing very little of it over all the pews, zooms and booms blasted into my eardrums. By the time Abrams decided to slow down and do some actual character development in the second half of the movie, my senses were too battered to take any of the rest of the movie in. I wanted to walk out at that point, but stuck with it only so I'd know what happens without having to sit through the movie again. I won't sit through the movie again.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film reads like a fanfiction, Disney should have saved their money and published the script under a false name. Terrible lines and poor acting from the characters; too many characters in rushed scene transitions that left little time for the audience to feel relief. The film rewrites the ‘Last Jedi’ reveals and introduces the ridiculous concept of Rey being a Palpatine- a stupid line repeated too many times. Hollywood must think we’re idiots to be satisfied with some wholesome experience that’ll restore the lacklustre profits that they’re currently receiving. The more subtable title would be: “the last piece of amateur writing Hollywood produces to rape Star Wars”, at least for 2020.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So... this is it. This is how the Skywalker saga ends, right? Well, good job, Dinsey; your trilogy achieved to kill the Skywalker legacy one and for all. And even you buried Anakin lightsaber in the planet (Tatooine) he hated the most (just like his son Luke) and every single Skywalker is now dead.

This trilogy doesn't make any sense. What was the point of Ben Solo's and Rey's journey? What was the point of bringing back Palpatine? Why the New Republic was just like the Rebellion in the OT? Why the hell the First Order had a massive fleet when they lost the Galactic Civil War in the OT?

This is a mess. This trilogy will not hold up the time and is a lot worst than the Prequel Trilogy. At least in the PT made sense the transition between the characters and the plot, in this nothing works.

The only good result about this is that this trilogy is over. Finally this nostalgia trip is gone.… Expand

The story is not overwhelming, but at least entertaining. The story develops to quick, the action scenes are good, there are some funny parts and some sad ones, although because of the quick story developing they never really shake you or give you time to think. It's a mediocre movie with great actors and some moments. But it's a star wars movie. The third installment of a trilogy. A sequel to other movies with a very well elaborated plot and character history. If you compare it to (at least) the last two movies it's redundant. Some main characters are completely unnecessary for the whole plot line, others show a development you will definitely not understand and others seem to exist just to fit with the nostalgic fanbase.

Compared to the prequels this movie and in particular the whole sequel trilogy is bad. Don't get me wrong. This movie and all other movies from the sequel trilogy (even Last Jedi) are very well made. However, you cannot judge a movie only by its production value. From a plot point it's not good, it's chaotic and there's no coherence. You have to judge this movie in comparison to the last two movies and in the end you will give it a 3/10.… Expand

Mary Sue Rey becomes space Jesus and steals the "Skywalker" name even though her parentage is finally revealed to be the exact opposite. The only positive aspect of the film is that it does reverse many of the bad decisions of Last Jedi. But I still cannot recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of the original lore and spirit of the Star Wars movies, ie the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy. There is nothing original here except that JJ tries to 'fix everything' by making Rey completely OP. Bottom line: Two thumbs down. This movie should have been titled Rise of Palpatine.… Expand

It’s dismaying to think that this **** is now canon. The first compelling moment of the film, the Rey force lightening accident, is reversed like 5 minutes later, which then becomes a theme. Abrams and Terrio can’t commit to any stakes, walking back emotional events constantly. The back half of the film is better than the first but nowhere near good enough. The writing just **** sucks, it’s obvious they kept rewriting as they made the movie. The blatant attempts to retcon things from ep8 just exposes the jealousy from abrams towards Johnson’s critical successes and his inability to compete. Sidelining Rose to appease the racist incels? They deserve the critical pummeling they are getting. It doesn’t even look that good, 7/8 were visually far superior. The plot just doesn’t make any sense. Palpatines return is vague and unconvincing, then it’s a video game with macguffins to get to macguffins. Regardless, a bunch of this could have been avoided with a **** outline of the three movies beforehand, what the **** is Kennedy doing here. I liked ep7 even with the ep4 retread plot, genuinely loved ep8, the message that anyone can be special and that failure is an essential step to growth, and its attempt to break SW out of the same old tropes and into the future, but this is a worse conclusion to the trilogy than I ever thought possible. Ridley and Driver were somehow still compelling given the bull**** script, and I’ll always pay to see a Star Wars movie opening weekend, but how the **** did this **** not get stopped before it imploded like this. Even the fanboys have to notice how poorly the filmmaking is throughout. Some bigoted space virgins hated the canto bight subplot and that Luke was a grouchy hermit, (which was definitely a plot point that Abrams laid out for Johnson anyways but I digress) so the rest of the world got this rushed dumb movie. Thanks Disney. @$). spoiler time $@&
Unanswered q’s-
Why is a plot point in the opening crawl not in the movie but only viewable in a video game? Like really Disney? The **** is that?
Who are the sith eternal? Ghosts of past Sith Lords? Just some unknown region folk who really like dark robes and murder? Just no explanation cool cool.
If Palpatine made snoke(s), was he controlling him at all times or just spoke to him like he did through Vader’s mask to Kylo?
I mean, how did he actually survive being thrown down the reactor shaft, are we to believe the attendants or other sith buddies grabbed his body before DSII blew up or is the body we see in 9 a clone body as well? And If he can just transfer his essence or life force into another body why does he need to do it again into Rey? Just get into one of the spare Snokes or a new Palpy skin.
Doesn’t this kinda undo Anakin being the chosen one? Cool retcon J.J., only the biggest part of the whole **** saga.
Yoda looked great as a FG, why does Luke look like he’s the blueberry girl from Willy wonka? Also how is the Xwing fully able to fly? thing had a wing taken off and looked like **** last movie.
Speaking of ships, didn’t Rey destroy Kylo’s first Tie fighter on passana and therefore Vader’s wayfinder, Kylo definitely had to take another fighter to Endor and Rey leaves in that and makes it to exegol so what the **** They def remembered to show the wayfinder still plugged in in the ship, but forgot it was blown up 30 min earlier didn’t they?
I can go on and on,
But lastly, why can’t we **** just use Luke’s green lightsaber? We get Leia’s never referenced out of thin air saber, but not the second most iconic Jedi weapon in the canon. Right.

I’m not mad you’re mad.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some parts made me feel like the film maker thinks the audience is stupid. Falling through quick sand into a tunnel but the sand doesn’t come with you? And just happening to land on top of the mcguffin. Take the mcguffin to a place and land in the perfect spot to use it with out know how to use it before landing. This movie is supposed to cap the saga but the whole sequel trilogy there was no plan and it is very obvious.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ill start of by saying the only reason im giving this movie a 3 is because of the CGI and the Fanservice. It's very well made in that regard. Apart from the choreography which is mediocre at best compared to the prequels.

Plotwise it must be the worst story consering anything star wars wise. Even most of the Star Wars legends stories have deeper and more well-thought plots than this. Rise of Skywalker? My ass should have been named Rise of Palpatine if something. She is not a skywalker, never will be and never can be, and just because she have the blood of palpatine it doesnt make sense she can everything from the start? It would be different if she was a skywalker due to their high count of midi-chlorians but I never heard anything like that consering the blood of Palpatine. Mastering the Light Saber after no practice beating Kylo Ren who have spent most of his life practicing and mastering the force and light saber. He even have the stronger blood? The reason Palpatine believed in Vader was because he knew he would be stronger than himself?!

Second Death Star?! Wtf, It blew up? Remeber that mega explosion at the end of Return of the Jedi? Yeah that one, that was the Death Star. It blew up to **** extinction. How can HALF THE DEATH STAR BE ON A RANDOM ASS PLANET? Like come on. J.J Abrams didnt think this through. Palpatine DIED. Though sure in Legends he survived through clones but eventually got killed. But then again if you watch an interview made with Ian McDiarmid he asked George Lucas if there was any chance he survived, George said No, he's dead, Gone, Mega dead. (Not in those exact words but pretty much sums it up)

Like some people before have mentioned regarding Finn - He escaped because he didnt want to fight anymore, yet again the first thing he does is to fight for the "Rebellion"? Okay. Rebellion? What Rebellion? Didnt they unify the galactic in Return of the Jedi and should have all the resources in the entire GALACTIC to fight this "First Order nonsense". If it was that easy for them to take controll of the Galactic that it wasnt even worth mentioning how they got control of it, then why did Palpatine go through all that trouble to form the Galactic Empire? All he had to do was go to Korriban or w/e the name of the planet was in the last movie, cant remeber the name of it... Sit on the throne and wave his stick and bam - He have control of the entire Galaxy. TL;DR If you only want fanservice Star Wars sure you can enjoy it. If you want to experience the plot and enjoy Star Wars to it utmost dont be arsed watching this movie.… Expand

2hours and 30 minute movie with 2hours of bad ideas. Messy and under developed. Felt like a fan film on YouTube.

A race to the finish line. A incoherent mess of poor edits and abhorrent narritive. A plot hole mine field that disrespects the the mythos and the orginal cast.

Great camera work. nice music. Horrible characters, very political - in this movie like in all the new movies all white men are evil. Made me feel like they focused on doing this movie tolerant and PC more then actually make actors act andGreat camera work. nice music.

Butchered what was once a great movie franchise. Confirms what many already knew... the latest trilogy is just a rehash of episodes 4, 5 & 6. Undoubtedly without anywhere near as much depth and character arc; it really is just a shower of CGIButchered what was once a great movie franchise. Confirms what many already knew... the latest trilogy is just a rehash of episodes 4, 5 & 6. Undoubtedly without anywhere near as much depth and character arc; it really is just a shower of CGI and puppetry to distract from no plot line whatsoever. Miraculously the film takes a dump all over George Lucas' Star Wars films because Anakin wasn't the "chosen one" to destroy the Sith after all. The sith live and so does emperor Palpatine? With more questions left than answers. Uchhh... the worst star wars trilogy ever.

I personally would rather sit through 12 hours of Jar Jar Binks on a loop than ever watch Episodes 7, 8 and 9. Perhaps one day we can pretend they never happened. Maybe The Mandolorian can salvage the franchise. Maybe..… Expand
