Disappointment is the best word to characterize this movie. It quickly becomes apparent how the sequel trilogy had no initial roadmap to help orchestrate its progression. As a result, The Rise of Skywalker disappointingly ends the sequelDisappointment is the best word to characterize this movie. It quickly becomes apparent how the sequel trilogy had no initial roadmap to help orchestrate its progression. As a result, The Rise of Skywalker disappointingly ends the sequel trilogy.

To start, the movie's fast pacing caused mental whiplash. It was draining trying to keep up with the nonstop plot progression. And with such a fast-paced narrative, there was no time to dive deeper into the characters, their motivations, and interrelationships. There were also many aspects of the movie that were not introduced, addressed, or concluded. Where were Kylo Ren's guards in the previous movie? How was Rey able to use some of her advanced powers with little to no training? What was Fin trying to tell Rey? Why does Rey always run off on her own, thus putting herself in danger? How did the main enemy collect the needed resources to support their forces? These unaddressed issues indicate a rushed production with little focus on quality.

The combat was laughable. In A New Hope, Obi Wan describes lightsabers as "elegant" weapons from "a more civilized" time. Their lightweight structure allows deft handling and precise combat, as demonstrated in the prequal trilogy movies. Combat in The Rise of Skywalker, however, is abysmal. Instead of gracefully using lightsabers as lightweight swords, actors violently swing them around like heavy baseball bats. It does not honor or align with the content established by previous movies.

Rey is also a poorly written character. Despite being one of the most important characters in the Star Wars universe, there is little to no logical justification as to how skilled she is at flying, sailing, fighting, using the force, etc. Again, sequel trilogy's lack of cohesive planning did not allow for such explanation.

Also, Rey never closes her mouth, and it's distracting.

The movie is all over the place! It appears that the rumors of no direction, daily changes to scripts, last minute characters, and pointless story lines were true. None of the fans I have spoken with give a damn about any of these characters! Rey is over-powered, again, suffers no trials and tribulations to earn her power, or develop her character. She's just the bestest-ever! And bringing back Palpatine is just absolutely ridiculous! It makes Vader/Anakin's sacrifice in ROTJ pointless! I'm glad I watched all three of these terrible movies, because now I don't ever have to watch them again. Thanks for nothing JJ Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy. Expand

In this case, it's the 9s and 10s that seem to go out of their way to throw a dig at anyone who dared dislike this movie. Whenever I'm reading reviews, I take note of the side that is more often attacking the other, and know that's the side with the bad faith take.

Since everything has already been said ad nauseam about this movie by now, I thought I'd just throw out that little personal aside towards reviews, and maybe a few people will see it and take that into consideration going forward. After all, knowing which reviews are in good faith and which aren't will help to ensure only quality products are supported. Hopefully that'll one day lead to a return of giving fans what they want rather than telling them what they SHOULD want

All the characters, except for Poe Dameron, are **** or combined. Hux, who in episode 7 was an interesting character. In episode 8, he was humiliated by In the new movie, they did it at all. Being a spy, I noticed that Disney introduces new characters without revealing them so that children buy figures. Totally *** * stupid idea, which turns out to be Palpatine's granddaughter. I wonder who slept with Palpatine, it would be nice to talk about Palpatine's love, etc. Throughout the trilogy there are lightsaber fights. Worse than in the original trilogy. The directors who were smoking at the moment. In Palpatine's empire, from somewhere, many space destroyers appeared from somewhere that could destroy the planet. Question to the idiots of the creator, how can this be done , not noticeable. I don't know for sure, but an Imperial Star Destroyer can hold 50 thousand people. There are about 30 ships, and they need engineers and builders, etc. to make them. That is, they have at least 5-10 million people How can it be left unnoticed by everyone. How did they accept the workers? were discovered, they were probably protected by the writer. How they even manage to destroy entire planets is nonsense. Now Mary Sue and Kylo have finally fallen in love with each other. Now she has learned to treat everyone, she can do anything without learning. She is a total idiot. Pa It's not at all clear how he survived. Ray easily kills him. It turns out that all Jedi of all time live in **** how it works, who is not, when the Star Wars universe cannot exist. Kylo sacrifices himself to cure the idiot. Leia died in the film. Hari Fisher's Eternal Rest, directed by Disney, will no longer use it as a graphic. This **** killed the whole Skywalker. See "Old Men Must Die." trilogy, it's a complete wear and tear of my favorite universe, so you need to **** you need to be able. In short, stupid **** stupid ****. producer, but in her old age decided to become famous (Kathleen Kennedy). I want to talk in general about the Disney canon. After Disney bought the rights to Star Wars. Declaring all the work of the expanded universe is not canon. a serious universe that began in books, comics and developed in the prequel elah and in the animated series "The Clone Wars". Where we were shown the ambiguity of the relationship between the rebels and the imperials. What freaks of the politics of the republic, empire, etc. One would wonder if there was such an evil empire? Disney decided to go back to the original trilogy with good rebels and bad imperials. They also steal characters from the old canon. For example, Kylo Ren stole the costume entirely from Darth Revan. Expand

Trevorrows version had some mistakes, but IT WAS a movie with a great ideas and hard story (general Huxs suicide with a LIGHTSABER). I gave it 2 cuz its just a bad clip for a Williams music.

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

This movie has to be one of the worst movies I've seen in a very long time. I'm easy to please but this movie was so full of plot holes, ridiculously stupid things happening to drive the plot forward and empty characters you don't care about. I paused the movie and felt pained that there was still an hour left. If you are like me, you want to conclude the series. Why not ask your child, nephew/niece, or some other kid to make up a conclusion of the Star Wars franchise. It will be 120 minutes shorter and likely better written than this garbage. Please, it isn't even worth your bored, lazy, self-isolating time.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Trash film that ended a trash trilogy. It's clear that corporate meddling and a lack of cohesive vision destroyed any potential this film had. Much like the intro of the film, the pacing of the film follows "light speed skipping". They retconned Rey's backstory and pulled some 11th hour heresy with Palpatine to try and hype the film up and arbitrarily create some antagonist out of the blue yonder. ANOTHER desolate desert planet. ANOTHER random forest planet. MORE Planet Killing weapons. MORE Palpatine. 40 years in the making and this is literally some fanfiction caliber crap protruded out from Corporate Disney that's a rehash of Return of the Jedi. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After seeing the final installment to the new trilogy, "the Rise of Skywalker" I can say without a doubt Disney, the writers, the producers, nobody involved with this project had a clue about making a Star Wars movie. Sure, the used the name, some lore, but in the end this is not Stars Wars.

Rise of Skywalker takes everything we knew about previous stories, lore, canon, and either throws it out or just makes a complete mockery of it. It makes the sacrifices Anakin, Luke, Liea, Han, Chewbacca and everyone else made mean absilutely nothing - because JJ Abrams thought it would be a good ideal to bring Palpatine back from the dead. The movie is a convoluted mess of bad writng, pacing, and laced with plot holes(dozens - literally dozens), and lets not forget all the stupid mcguffins that are so contrived and conveniently resolved within seconds. Yes...just stupid assinine writing that should insult you as a viewer. If I were you, do not wate your money. Save it. Wait until it is released and see it on TV or wait for a friend to buy it on disc.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film was depressingly bad. I had hoped Disney would find a way to fix everything broken by The Last Jedi but it seems bringing Luke Skywalker back to life was beyond them. The plot itself just bounces around from planet to planet with Kylo Ren narrowly missing Rey over and over. Palpatine is also back for no good reason which desecrates the legacy of Return of the Jedi by negating Anakin’s sacrifice. This just isn’t a good movie, but I can live with ignoring them and continuing to re-read the Zahn novels every so often. Expand

The Force Awakens lacked imagination but was basically enjoyable, while The Last Jedi took some risks I thought would help inject new life into the franchise. In an effort to address fan criticism of The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker tried to pretend it didn't exist. Reviving Palpatine was a terrible decision. It didn't work well in the Legends timeline, and it worked even less well in this film. The plot was a confusing mess and making Rey a self proclaimed Skywalker rubbed me the wrong way.

Both trilogies had something to say below the surface. What were they trying to say with this trilogy? What was the point? To make money.

Nothin at this point makes sense. None of the character arcs. Yes, JJ undoes a lot of TLJ but it doesn't work. The time to do that was before it was done. My friend bought me a ticket otherwise I wouldn't have gone. I will never give Disney another dollar for Star Wars.

The Last Jedi wasn’t that great and had its flaws but my god is it better than this dumpster fire. From a story comparison, TLJ is a masterpiece compared to this, nothing to be worked in her and just goes to show you that the plan for this trilogy was completely half added and that ticks me off. I’ve loved this franchise since I was six right before the specials editions came out and been watching it since. I’ve never truly hated a Star Wars films but I have been bored with films like solo. I truly hate this film and has made me push this saga down the list. A lot of aspects in this film don’t lineup and ruin the other two films. Watching the other two films will be hard now because if leads to what? A prequel level rehash of the return of the Jedi? But, way dumber and goofy ass moments that feel like it’s from a B level sci-fi franchise rather than a billion dollar one. This film panders to the lowest common denominator. This transformer type of people that love that **** General audiences are to blame for this failure of a film. It just goes to show you the ineptitude of Disney and the brilliance of one. Disguising real filmmaking with a flashy, fan service, and nostalgia to trick people into thinking the film was good. This will 100% be the phantom menace of this trilogy and people will finally wake up to realize how much of a joke all this was. It all leads to disappointing nothingness while masquerading as a real love letter to the franchise. In the end, this film has turned me away from anything Star Wars and won’t be seeing anything of theres again. Unless they really change thing around. But, this is Disney. Tricking the public with big business operations to pony in money instead of making a good product. Money over substance. Obey. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rise of Skywalker is an atrocity, absolutely horrendous piece of a movie, it does so many things poorly and unoriginal (hense Jar-Jar is a director again) that it hurts to watch. Plot makes absolutely no sense in the context of the movie, pacing is ripped appart and some of the "twists" just rammed in your face without explaining everything, like the Emperor is SUDDENLY Rey's grandfather, this scene where they "reveal" that, made literally everyone in the theater explode with laughter, its so stupid I geniunely question Jar-Jar's inteligence at this point. Aside from absolutely stupid plot and writing we also have poor character, some of the returning ones like Lando and Han, needless to say that new characters are just as useless as the older ones. While we're at bashing characters heres Rey, Jar-Jar just decided to go full autism and made her the most terrible Mary Sure character ever created, you can literally imagine any, and I mean ANY force power, and Rey now has it. Deal with it. She can quite literally bring people from the dead which raises SO MANY MORE QUESTION THAT THIS MOVIE WILL NEVER ANSWER that it was just anecdotic at this point and I completely gave up on this piece of garbage. If this movie wasn't bad enough it also completely bashes previous trilogies and destroys their legacy with rammed in-your-face death of Leia that makes zero sense. If you love Star Wars, if you love GOOD movies, completely ignore this movie by any means. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soulless. Utterly soulless. Star Wars defined a generation and this is how it ended? People thought Season 8 of Game of Thrones was bad. This movie has let down an entire generation. While Ep7 and 8 had their issues, it was clear you were seeing the director's vision. Whether you agreed with the vision or not the movies built on the Star Wars universe. This movie felt like it was written by committee of people who did not know Star Wars, rushed out in record time. It should have been scrapped, delayed and re-written when Carrie Fischer passed away. Their attempts to keep her in the movie were forced and poorly done with terrible CGI effects. The scene with young Leia was incredibly poorly done, worse than in Rogue One. When we think back to Colin Treverrow being fired from this for "creative differences" that's when you know this was a studio movie. Designed to maximize merchandising opportunities and create a raft of under-utilized characters that added NOTHING to the movies but provide opportunities as characters in an expanded universe.

I've seen MANY worse movies but never have I left the movie theater so disappointed. The movie was ludicrous.

People that expected answers to questions raised in the first two movies get a single line of exposition as JJ proves he once again cannot come up with a moral, ethical, or logical conclusion to anything. He also provies that he once again lied about not retconning aspects of The Last Jedi, becuase that is exactly what he does in Rise of Skywalker while further degrading the characters that Rian already debased. JJ's typical mystery box McGuffin chases are just busy-work to distract from the lack of real script or character development. Even the CGI fails at times, and Carrie Fisher's posthumous return to the screen is carried out very badly, feeling quite artifical and out of place. If there was ever a single line of exposition pretending to be an explanation, Leiah suddenly being considered dead between movies would have be the time for it. Heck, starting off with her funeral would have given the movie some much-needed feeling. The ending is laughable and soul-sucking for any Star Wars fans, as it shatters the sacrifice of the original series and makes consequences meaningless in Disney Star Wars. Expand

Well, maybe it would have worked if Luke woke up and realized Episodes VII and and VIII (and while we’re at it, Episodes I through III, and the Ewok storyline from VI) were just a bad dream, and then someone who both loved Star Wars and knew how to write and direct a good story had been at the helm. But this is two and a half hours of nonsense that I couldn’t care less about combine with blatant, cynical heartstring-tugging. Ugh. I found myself feeling sorry for John Williams who had to write decent, stirring music over such poorly-constructed moments. Ugh. Expand

It had the right ingredients – it could have been great, but it’s not. The movie is too fast and is paced awfully. The first hour of the movie is very forgettable, it’s like playing a space-version of Skyrim. A bunch of fetch-quests, characters coming into the scene with exactly the information and items necessary to move onto the next scene. There is some seriously “convenient” (eye rolling) writing to move the plot forward. I wouldn’t have a problem with it if the storytelling was confined to the rules and lore of the Star Wars universe, but it’s not. They could have come to the drawing table for a few days and figured out a better way to tell a story. It lacked suspense, credibility, and integrity.
- Like the two times Kylo was able to figure out where Rey was, based on items that are dropped or was taken from that scene.
- Like how Finn was able to determine where the “beacon” was located once the Final Order had shut down the planet-side one.
- Luke is a force ghost, why would you make the decision for him to “catch” Rey’s lightsaber, and levitate the X wing? He serves the role of mentor to Rey; why not appear behind Rey and say “don’t throw away my lightsaber” or something to that effect?
- The ship Chewbacca was on explodes, but he appears on the Star Destroyer 3 minutes later.
- Rey is Palpatine’s granddaughter – are we just rehashing the same plot points at the old trilogy? You have a $300M budget. Do better. Have some originality. It started getting better near the end, I particularly enjoyed the fact that Kylo Ren/Ben Solo was fighting with a blue lightsaber at the end of the movie. The visuals and score were both 10/10 as expected - it's a $300M Disney-produced film, it looks and sounds like a Star Wars film., it just doesn’t feel like it. I don’t often agree with the critics nowadays, but I 100% agree that J.J. Abrams is giving fan service with this movie. Now fan service isn’t inherently bad, but the way this movie does it is just cringe. Han Solo – Fan Service
Lando Calrisian – Fan Service
Ewoks (1 second scene) – Fan Service
Rey and Kylo Kissing – Fan Service
Palpatine as the main bad guy – Fan Service (?)


Palpatine was actually pretty good and was integral to the story.

Then he leaves no notes for poor Rian Johnson to follow, so Rian just says "screw it" and makes a giant middle finger to the fans, the justifiably hated Last Jedi. Then Abrams comes back and tries to duct-tape together what's left of this mess, only to fail spectacularly by destroying all of the Skywalker saga and George Lucas's vision even further. Bravo, Disney. Every time I think things can't get any worse for Star Wars, you've managed to pull it off. Why do you keep doing this? To quote the Simpsons, "Stop! Stop, he's already dead..." Expand

TRoS turned the entire 40+ year saga into the Palpatine Saga. It was awful. Pacing was awful...too many worthless “fanboy” moments. I’ve been a fan since I saw Star Wars in theaters in 1977. TRoS is an awful send off to a 40+ year saga.

I am so glad that Filoni and Favreau and Watiti and hopefully still Rian Johnson seem to be the future of the Star Wars franchise.

Komische Kameraeinstellungen, unsinnige Cuts zu Szenen, die Story ist wir und zusammenhanglos und bezieht sich nicht auf die 2 vorgegangenen Filme. Das sieht man vor allem an den in Ep. 7 und 8 eingeführten Charakteren. Die meisten stehen jetzt nur noch am Rande und geben hier und da einen Kommentar ab.
Die ganze Story um den Imperator ergibt keinen Sinn und ist nur eine billige Kopie von Star Wars Dark Empire welche schlecht umgesetzt wurde.
Alles in allem ein Cringefest und eine Peinlichkeit was Filmkunst angeht.

I was not expecting anything from Disney and, as usual, they did not disappoint.

The movie has no plot at all, it's a random sequence of actions scenes stitched together.

It's basically a 3 hours long toys commercial. Made for young kids to buy toys (like the new droid), there's no movie here.

They waste more time in showing a female-female kiss than to explain how a dead Sith Lord came back to life. They could have easily connected this to what Palpatine told Anakin in the Prequel trilogy, but they did not, for some reason...

OH WAIT! STORMTROOPERS ARE FEMALE NOW! So it's a five star movie, of course!

Finally wrote a review for this because I watched it on a Disney Plus trial (I refuse to pay money to see this movie). I was burned by the first two movies and was not going to let it happen again.

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.

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

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

And it really should be called Star Wars: The Great Macguffin Hunt. I mean it did have some good scenes, which is more than I can say for Last Jedi. But almost nothing felt earned. It’s blatantly clear that the villain was shoehorned in after TLJ left the trilogy without one other than emo Kylo. And they clearly were trying to retcon TLJ out despite what JJ said. But in my opinion they didn’t go far enough. And the fact this came out the same week as The Mandalorian’s finale, which was a stellar ride through the Star Wars universe... just laid bare Rise of Skywalker’s inadequacies. Expand

Rest In Peace, Star Wars. Much like the enigmatic figure at the center of this mind-numbing clustertruck, perhaps next time you should STAY DEAD. If you thought 'The Last Jedi' did a bad job following up 'The Force Awakens', then you're inRest In Peace, Star Wars. Much like the enigmatic figure at the center of this mind-numbing clustertruck, perhaps next time you should STAY DEAD. If you thought 'The Last Jedi' did a bad job following up 'The Force Awakens', then you're in for an even bigger shock this time around. In Abrams/Terrio's 'The Rise of Skywalker', there is absolutely no respect for the film that directly preceded it, in service of sprinting at breakneck speed towards a conclusion that, on paper, sounds like a twelve-year-old wrote it as a fan-fic and thought it was edgy and cool. This is no way to end a franchise. If you've seen TLJ and liked it, stop there. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Write your own ending, because this one's for the birds. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A final cluster train wreck mess in a sequel that had no plans or even an outline from the start and wow it shows in this mess. This movie has no impact, internal logic, rules or consequences. Force healing and force expenditure death is stupid. BB8 gets smashed by Reys training - oh wait.. no he's fine. Chewy dies because of Rey.. in a force pull fight with Kylo.. oh wait, no he doesn't.. he's fine..... Kylo dies..or should be dead when Rey cuts his ship (why didn't he shoot her) and he crashes and explodes in what would have kiled anyone. Nope. Just a flesh wound. Rey kills him in a light saber fight.. right through the guts..... oh wait no.. sorry about that.. that light saber through your guts... ummm... nah lemme fix that... alive again! Thrown off a cliff into an bottomless pit to die by the emperor.. no you're not... climb back up. Kylo dies and is back about 5 times in this dumb movie.
Rey fully dies as well after she kills Palprocks with... the letter X!!! A mountain falls on her and fully kills her, she's dead.. they focus on her dead face she isn't frozen mary poppins she's dead... oh wait... no she's not.. Kylo heals her... oh but now he's really dead. What? WTF is going on with rules in this stupid movie? Why didn't Rey fade away when she died if shes the most super duper powerful Jedi of all time? If Kylo turned good, why didn't he turn into a force ghost? Force ghosts can move objects so why don't they just fight. Nothing follows any logic in this movie. Dumb dumb dumb dumb. It looks pretty though. Also easy to see Disney is out in force on Rotten Tomatoes with the bot army of one line 5 star reviews that say things like, "A great and satisfying adventure!" really? You give a movie 5 stars, take the time to get your dumb fandango ticket verified and that's what you write?

They wanted to turn the attention away from the old Star Wars to a new one with new characters that would be what the Disney flagship wanted but it all ended horribly. It just doesn't feel like the new characters are friends even. It's a plastic repackaging that tries to please everyone and ends up pleasing no-one. This was supposed to be the "Star Wars Endgame" but it felt more like a new stand-alone movie rather than the ending of a trilogy. I can't help but wondering how the trilogy would have been if they just had used the scripts that George Lucas provided. Really disappointed in this one Expand

This movie tries to right the wrongs of previous entry so at least an improvement but fails as a movie. Rushed and nonsensical. This has a lot of fan service but the sequel trilogy plunged so far into a sarlacc pit that it was too late.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All movie is a mess. End of Skywalker saga is not bittersweet, but just bitter and doesn't make sence. Rey became full-grown Mary Sue, idea of balance between dark and light is tossed aside, and Kylo Ren return to the light side as Ben Solo only to kill himself in a 10 minutes (what a waste of actor's talent!). The ultimate message of the all 9 movies is 'you can correct your errors only with killing yourself' and 'only people who does nothing wrong in their life deserve happiness'. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An embarrassment and insulting to the craft of cinema and the franchise started by George lucas. Nonsense, drivel, appalling story, and clear evidence of how bad JJ Abrahams is as a movie maker, it goes to show you fail upwards in hollywood once your in the club. I just hope for the sake of George Lucas’s saga that this Disney trilogy gets retconned from existence. If you want to learn how to ruin a franchise I suggest watching the Disney Star Wars trilogy, that’s its only legacy it leaves. Expand

The plot is old and and utterly overused, offers nothing new to the series while taking so much away from the George Lucas Star Wars. Riddled with plot holes, annoying token wokeness and all builds up to a flat ending that nobody cares about or is invested in. I just wanted the entire galaxy to blow up as it needs to end, but unfortunately it doesn't and just ends in a hug fest that feels cheesy by now. Just watch the original Return of the Jedi as that's 1000 times better than this and is basically the same story without any of the same issues. The end is that Rey kills Palpatine, kill being used lightly in the constantly reversible Star Wars universe, by deflecting his force lightning with two light sabers, then he blows up and dies instead of stopping his own lightning, literally that's it. Then Kylo force heals Rey, Rey kisses Kylo, before Kylo rolls over and dies too.

As a bigger alert, the mise en scène is the worst I have ever seen at cinema. It's dark with so much flashing strobe style lightnig, presumably as a last ditch effort to give a poorly written, produced and directed film some character. If you suffer with headache disorders, epilepsy or any type of light sensitive disorder then please don't risk this poor movie. Even Disney put out a health warning due to the high use of strobe lighting. A friend of mine took ill at the cinema towards the movie due to the lighting and are very angry that the warning didn't proceed the film, it was just a generic post by Disney that as a group we didn't know about until afterwards. I don't normally give films 1 out of 10, but this movie was so flat, disappointing and destructive that I can't see where I can give it more than 1 out of 10.

Star Wars used to be compared to the likes of the Odyssey and the Iliad. What Disney and LFM have done to the original narrative is a disaster.

What Disney and LFM have done to the original narrative is a disaster. In an attempt to clean up countless plot holes and unsatisfying plot twists from the previous movie in the trilogy, TROS introduces one of the biggest character retcons in cinematic history. It's the 11th hour in the newly labeled 'Skywalker Saga', and the amount of exposition required to justify new plot events and characters is overwhelming. Would not recommend even as a turn-your-brain off pop-corn flick. Expand

The new trilogy is trash. This film is direct evidence. I am incredibly sorry that the new trilogy treated the old characters so badly. And in return they gave us not characters, but simply images, without any character and growth.

Ужасно все : от каста, до постановки боев. Когда речь идет о дуэли на световых мечах, я вспоминаю сражения Квай-гон Джинна и Оби-вана Кеноби против Дарта Мола. Это настоящая схватка: зрелищный и эпичный бой. Сражение Оби-Вана Кеноби С Энакином Скайуокером на Мустафаре в третьем эпизоде: вот где профессионалы показывали дуэль Силы и световых мечей.
В этой отвратительной трилогии световой меч показали просто как бесполезную игрушку, просто для галочки. Никаких красиво поставленных боев. Герои не сражаются, а просто машут указками.
О сюжете говорить совсем больно. *СПОЙЛЕР* Излечение Силой? Серьезно?!?! На это были неспособны ни ситхи ни джедаи! Мать вашу, да на этом построена вся вселенная фильма! Энакин пытался спасти Падме от смерти! Именно ради этого он перешел на темную сторону! Но Палапатин его обманул. ПОТОМУ ЧТО НЕТ ТАКОЙ СПОСОБНОСТИ!
И тут какая-то необученная мусорщица исцеляет всех направо и налево.Пошел на*уй Дарт Вейдер со своими ужасными травмами. Ты просто не мусорщик-хил, а жалкий ЛОРД СИТХОВ.
Неуместное приплетание старых героев 10/10. RIP Кэрри Фишер. Мне очень жаль , что именно это убожество было вашей последней работой.
Разочарование десятилетия. Прости нас Лукас, мы все про*бали.
