This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let the past die? Sorry Rian Johnson. JJ Abrams filled this movie with nostalgia in every set piece to erase the farce that was The Last Jedi. Rian drove the sequel trilogy off a cliff and JJ Abrams tried to save what was left.

"That's not how the Force works."
"That's not how lightspeed works."

Boring light saber duels.
The plot was a series of fetch-quests.
Leia Organa was an NPC.
Rey is the ultimate overpowered Mary Sue.
New characters? We don't have time to care for you.

Rose Tico demoted to a minor character for kissing Finn without his consent. #MenToo

All spectacle, and no substance. JJ Abrams just copy-pasted the last act of Episode 6: Return of the Jedi, playing it safe.
Too many ideas crammed into 2 1/2 hours.

Episode 8 undoing Episode 7. Episode 9 undoing episode 8.
Get out of here Kathleen Kennedy. And take Rian Johnson with you.

This is the conclusion to the Skywalker saga?

Time to re-watch Episode 1-6 and forget the Disney sequel fan-fiction.… Expand

And I’m happy to say that this is the WORST Star Wars film to date. ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ is treated like a movie made for the fans, but honestly, it’s the final middle finger to them. Granted, a lot of people may end up liking the movie because it retconned ‘The Last Jedi’, but I don’t see how this made anything better. This movie was treated like an average children’s movie rather than a Sci-Fi epic conclusion to a forty-two year running franchise beloved by millions. Conundrum on top of conundrum, cheesy dialogue/humor, unnecessary twists, needless callbacks, and plenty of cat-and-mouse type antics. The only good things in this film is the engaging action sequences, yet they are too quick for you to actually be on the edge of your seat for (referred to for the beginning of the film, until the final battle), and the visuals, which most are eye-catching. What a way to end Star Wars...Like the way you’d unexpectedly lose someone you care about. That’s how I feel about this. Like as if I lost someone very important in my life.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you are a casual fan then you can probably find aspects of the film to enjoy. Other than that it’s a very miss film in my opinion. The characters do not get the proper send off that they deserve and it feels like a movie just as an effort to sell more merchandise. It was extremely predictable with the major “twists” or plot points being seen from a mile away whether it was Landos return, Rey being a palpatine, Finn being force sensitive or any of the other shocks it tried to create. There were no good light saber battles and every single Princess Leia scene was extremely forced and uncomfortable to watch. She was speaking super vaguely and you could tell they were just trying to incorporate her into the movie for the nostalgia factor. They also CGId her which they said they were not going to do. They did redeem certain characters like Kylo however then they completely ruin the momentum of the character by killing him off in a very stupid way. They also underutilized many characters. Overall it was disappointing it was not as terrible as the last Jedi but that does not make this movie a good film by any means.… Expand

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 VIII, crapping all over carpet

Two movies in one, neither complete and neither well written or directed. It is hands down the worst Star Wars film ever, out of all 9 it is the worst, and TLJ was a dumpster fire of epic proportions and this beat it.

In an attempt to fix the mess left after episode 8, this tries unsuccessfully to reboot the storyline, when it fails it basically degenerates in to undoing the ending an legacy of The Return of the Jedi. Simply put, if you love Original George Lucas Star Wars don't go to this film, it will ruin any memory you have of the Original Trilogy or even the Prequel Trilogy.

BrutafulDec 20, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely horrendous. There are so many things that are still left unanswered AND new questions that we'll likely never get answers to. Here are some that are bothering me...

How is Rey so powerful? Saying that she's a Palpatine is just lazy writing and I'll show why right now. Palpatine is dead, and should have remained dead. Bringing him back to life completely undermines the whole Skywalker story! Now all the work, all the suffering Luke and Anakin went through- it's all for nothing. Just so we can have Rey, the complete Mary Sue defeat Palpatine? Why? Rey gets almost no training and these little snippets of her training in TLJ and this movie aren't enough. They're not convincing. She's doing things with the force we've never seen before. Who did she learn them from? Leia? How did Leia learn them? From Luke? Yet we've never seen Luke heal anyone with the force, so that isn't convincing.

Speaking of Luke- how did Maz find Anakin's/Luke's lightsaber? She said it was a "story for another time" in TFA, but we didn't get the story in TLJ or in this movie. Where did she get it? How? Why?

Why is Hux the spy? The way he ousts himself as the spy is ridiculous. His motivations make no sense. He says he doesn't want the Resistance to win, but he doesn't want Kylo to win. That just shows he has no allegiance. The Resistance has no reason to protect him once he's served his purpose as Hux doesn't care for their cause, and Kylo wont care to take Hux back as Hux has betrayed him.

Why is Rose completely sidelined in this movie? I don't like her character at all, but there's no satisfying conclusion between her and Finn. Instead it looks like Rose was replaced by this Jana chick, so we don't have to deal with the blunders made by Rian through the character of Rose. That's just lazy though.

Why are Finn, Rey, and Poe always bickering? We're supposed to believe these are people who are good friends, yet they bicker like they just met each other or never bothered to smooth out any problems they've ever had with each other.

I've got more questions, but I'll move on from that...for now.

There's tons of fan service, but it's insulting. It's as if Disney thinks Star Wars fans are stupid. The kiss between Rey and Kylo seems stupid as they really don't look like a convincing couple. JJ's attempts to make you care about what's going on through Leia's, Luke's, Han's, and Lando's appearances fall flat. Why should I care? You've ruined and then killed him. You turned Han into some sort of deadbeat and then killed him too. Leia is apparently a full fledged Jedi, but Carrie Fisher's gone now, and yet you parade her around in this movie as terrible CGI, instead of giving her a respectful sendoff in TLJ. Oh and Lando? He's just here for nostalgia's sake. Of course, Palpatine is here for pretty much the same reason....nostalgia.

Sure, the movie looks incredible, but I expect that from Disney. What I didn't expect, was that I'd feel so uninterested in the major battle near the end of the movie. This is supposed to be epic and I don't care. I don't care at all. I couldn't care less if Rey, Finn, Poe, Rose, Janna, etc die, because I know so little about them and worse, Rey and Rose aren't even likable. Now you've made it worse by having Rey be the chosen one, undermining the Skywalkers' story. You even have her take on the Skywalker name, which is disgusting as it doesn't feel earned at ALL. Good job, Disney. Your main character, the one we should all love as much as we love Luke, is liked about as much as Jar Jar Binks. Fantastic.

It's funny...I decided to watch this movie because I'd heard about all the leaks and thought I'd at least get a good laugh out of this train-wreck. Instead, I was bored, annoyed, and by the end, disgusted. Even with all the leaks, watching all of this unfold was still simply appalling. To make matters worse, it's clear Disney is doing HUGE amounts of damage control. I've seen so many 10/10 reviews that say the same thing, in the same words, and with the same sentence structure. If this movie is a 10/10 to so many people, why aren't they going into great detail about it? Instead I see a few 7 and 8s giving some details and lots of negative reviews detailing just how much they hate the movie, and more importantly, WHY they hate the movie.

This movie is absolutely horrendous and even worse than The Last Jedi. It's NOT a "satisfying end to the trilogy" and no amount of fake reviews is going to change that. It really is the worst Star Wars movie ever. Skip this one and watch the Mandalorian instead. At least that's actually decent.

1/10. (Updated Dec, 22, 2020) Ok, so I'm going to add more stuff..
Zorii Bliss is a weak character. Her motivations changed from being angry at Poe for leaving her behind on Kijimi to wanting to help him, Rey, and Finn so quickly that it'd make your head spin.

How did Lando get all those Resistance ships on his side in so little time?!
Still a 1/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The half star, is for the cast and crew (including photography etc) other than writing and director, who contribute their 100% of their skills and ability on not letting it sucks. And let me clarify in no shape and form I blame them. Highlights has to be given to Adam Driver, and the chemistry Daisy Ridley has with him, Grant and Gleeson (apologies if I omit someone who perform well).

Now this gets out of way, let me clarify further.

As a Star Wars fan, I am more than happy to give some leeway has it been mediocre or generic or cheesy. Its neither of those but a series of montages string together and barely hold together. I am not exaggerating and will freely admit I have plenty of guilty pleasure on bad movies. But 90% of the time it does not even form a semi-coherent plot. Most of the characters looks like they muttered from a quote machine with words jumbled from previous 8 movies, aimed to please all fans of different tastes. Few actors have any idea how to handle such horrid lines and I dont hold the blame to them, besides extremely bad directing. Plot wise it violates so many fundamental principles. There are no actual stakes on hand. Rey confesses multiple times that she dread her vision seeing herself in Palpatine Throne, probably a mirror to Anakin's fears but in no shape, form or any indication this horror can be felt by general audience. None of the character has any progress or regression from TLJ development. And worst of all the film seems to understand so little about honoring previous 8 films. It so shallowly quote from previous 8 films and there are no soul to their formula.

In addition they fundamentally wasted one of the generational talents, mainly Adam Driver. How this guy manage to rise his part I could not have imagine. In short, this film feels like a massive diarrhea of multiple plot ideas and character exposition - but it came to nothing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. what a sad, depressing, disappointing, empty, soul-less, joy-less abomination of a movie. THE FORCE AWAKENS had some potential, then THE LAST JEDI took a huge dump all over that, and now THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is just an absolute mess that tries desperately to dazzle everyone with huge action, bad humor, and sickening amounts of member-berries. the Skywalker Saga began with THE PHANTOM MENACE and ended with RETURN OF THE JEDI. this Disney Trilogy is meaningless. they resurrected Palpatine just so that Mary Sue could kill him again, which makes Anakin's redemption and sacrifice completely worthless. they're trying to tell us that Rey is the "real" Chosen One, but she has no character, no arc, no hero's journey, no depth, nothing that makes her interesting in any way. the same goes for all the other new characters, and all the original characters have been completely ruined, reduced to failures, and killed off. i will never watch this trilogy again, it is not canon, it serves no purpose, it has no meaning, it is completely incoherent and didn't make me care about any of the characters or any of the so-called "story". Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams had the opportunity to make something great, but they completely failed. their trilogy is irrelevant and should not be considered part of the Skywalker Saga. all the Skywalkers were killed off, and Mary Sue Palpatine took their name and their home. it's disrespectful to the legacy of STAR WARS and needs to be erased from canon and forgotten.… Expand

Pese a eso se sintió bien. La historia se pintaba interesante y los nuevos protagonistas reflejaban bien los nuevos tiempos, mientras que los antiguos estaban ahí para ser un tributo a los viejos tiempos. So far, so good.

Entonces llegó la segunda entrega, el divisivo episodio 8, que hizo algo que Star Wars (al menos en las películas) no hacía hace tiempo: tomar riesgos. Los productores le dijeron adiós a JJ Abrams y trajeron a Rian Johnson, un directorazo, que hizo un trabajo decente. Su peli no solo le trajo novedades visuales a Star Wars, también llevó la historia a nuevos lugares, o al menos nuevos para las películas, porque en juegos y cómics mucho por lo que apostó Johnson ya existía y era muy aclamado.

Y, sin embargo, los fanáticos la odiaron.

En pocas palabras, les molestaba que el universo de heroicos jedis y malignos siths muriera y diera paso a una galaxia menos fantasiosa, con más áreas grises, donde los protagonistas no solo se alejan del pasado, sino que quieren destruirlo.

Entonces los fanáticos estaban enojados, pero no tanto como los productores que no se tomaron bien que su película no fuera un rotundo éxito y que las redes se llenaran de trolls defenestrándola por haberse atrevido a alejarse de la fórmula clásica de un filme de Star Wars. ¿De qué les servía que el episodio 8, con todos los valientes riesgos tomados, fuera aclamada por la crítica si al final los fanáticos no estaban contentos? ¿Quién pone la plata finalmente?

El episodio 9 de la nueva trilogía de Star Wars retorna a JJ Abrams, quien ya no puede usar el truco de hacer un remake más grande y que, además, se tiene que tragar la tarea de mandar al demonio todo lo logrado por su predecesor. Si Rian Johnson retrocedió cobardemente, en los últimos minutos de su película, renunciando a todo lo que él mismo quiso establecer, en el episodio 9 Abrams le pone pasión a enterrarlo y usar su tumba de inodoro.

Ok, es válido. En todo caso, ¿tenía otra? Yo supongo que eso fue lo que le encomendaron los productores al contratarlo y, bueno, por algo también él aceptó. Pero, ¿cuál es el precio de cumplir esa tarea? Mejor dicho, ¿cuál es el resultado?

El resultado es un filme complaciente, apresurado, demasiado ocupado en contradecir a su antecesor como para preocuparse en ser algo en si mismo. El episodio 9 es una mala película, es un episodio de la temporada final de Game of Thrones, es una seguidilla de momentos sacados de la nada para tratar de mantener una coherencia que se siente forzada y que intenta apoyarse en complacer todas las quejas de los fanáticos ofendidos con el episodio 8 para funcionar. Lo cual no quiere decir que la historia no tenga cierta belleza. Es ciertamente un cierre, tiene momentos emocionantes, instantes en los que te preguntas qué pasará, qué harán estos nuevos protagonistas a los que les agarraste tanto cariño. Y en este sentido es lindo notar que Star Wars, su universo, sus personajes, todavía pueden despertar algo en ti.

El verdadero gran problema del episodio 9 es el pasado. No lo digo solamente por el episodio 8, sino porque los productores, los guionistas y el director están demasiado divididos en complacer a quienes no pudieron soportar un universo de Star Wars distinto al que siempre conocieron, que el resultado es un filme lleno de momentos que en lugar de sentirse emotivos te hacen poner los ojos en blanco. No por nada el gran villano de la película es una figura del pasado (que nadie sabe cómo es que retornó) que reduce la lucha de los nuevos protagonistas a una maquinación suya y nos retorna a la clásica historia del bien contra el mal. ¿Dónde está la complejidad social del episodio 8? ¿Dónde está el reto de destruir a los jedis y obligarlos a evolucionar a algo más que una orden de dogmáticos magos del espacio con el poder del Deus Ex Machina? ¿Dónde está todo lo que Rian Johnson intentó hacer para que esta saga, por fin, evolucionara en sus filmes, tal como logró evolucionar en otros medios?

Pues, nada de eso está en el episodio 9, eso es seguro.

Finalmente, solo quiero decir que adoro a Rey. Ha sido uno de mis personajes favoritos de Star Wars de todos los tiempos, así que intenté ver el cierre de su historia sin cinismos, ni mala predisposición. Estaba emocionado por las implicaciones sobre ella del episodio 8 que la proyectaban como una heroina novedosa, una heroina para estos tiempos, así que fue duro verla convertida en otro títere asimilado al pasado, estancada en la necesidad de fanáticos y productores de no explorar diferentes aspectos de la fantasía.

Bien por ellos. Lo que es yo, seguiré viendo The Mandalorian, pero ya sin buscar una nueva esperanza en la galaxia de Star Wars, solo la espera sistemática de más de lo mismo porque solo así se gana dinero y se mantiene en silencio a los trolls.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film was just a giant wtf. The first half seemed like a rush job on trying to appease fans with the failures of TLJ. But ended with a barely cohesive plot jumping mess. Many failures of logical thought. Many decisions made to the detriment of the overall story attempt. Surface level character development left you still not caring about the characters. Poor storytelling and it is almost painfully obvious that the creative persons were not actual star wars fans. You can tell the creative team in the Mandalorian are actual fans. I will tell my children it ended at Return of the Jedi.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Apart from the cenamatic critique (pacing, mostly poor humor, and character development) the biggest problems with this movie is the story! While I understand that they had a tough battle (no pun intended) to retcon the issues with the last Jedi (and I appreciated the retconing that they did do), they messed up the entire plot of the first 6 films by fundamentally changing how the Force works, and who the chosen one is! This does nothing but undo the entire purpose and all of the sacrifices made in Return of the Jedi!
What did I like:
Actors did a good job with what they had to work with, the visuals were great (as always), and John Williams soundtrack was phenomenal! Other than that, not much. I would NOT recommend this movie to a casual movie watcher, let alone real Star Wars fans!!… Expand

Abrams and TerrioThis movie is a real mess. Rian Johnson left a lot of possibilities for developing the story in many different [and interesting] directions and I hoped thanks to that we would not get another OT rehash. How stupid I was... Abrams and Terrio created a heartless movie which consists mostly of cheap fan service. The characters do not advance in their development and the plot is completely uninvolving with lots of holes and out of the blue sort of twists. I have a feeling that most scenes here were written just for merch [the same with new characters who are just useless from the plot perspective]. This film is everything that SW are not and it's a pity we got another MCU superhero like movie instead of something more insightful and thought-provoking like "The Last Jedi". The action speeds and goes so fast you don't have time to think about what you see, the editing is just horrible [who the hell cut this movie?], the cast do not even pretend they are doing their best and what's more "The Rise of Skywalker" tries to recton "TLJ" so hard that it's just a pain to watch it. I wish this movie had never been made, it's just a joke and should be treated this way. It destroys prequels and original trilogy, but also flushes the new canon in the toilet. I do not envy LF story group...after this "masterpiece" they will have to patch the lore and it won't be easy...I think it's justified to refer to Abrams as Jar Jar from now on. For all this mess he has made... The only positive aspect of the movie is Adam Driver [hence 1 out of ten, not 0] who does incredible things on screen being given maximum five lines of the text throughout the movie. Although his character could have been written much better, the actor seems to be the one who cares. The rest...just to forget, bury deep down under the ground and pretend it had never existed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My neck hurts because of the countless times I had to shake my head while watching this movie. Let's start with the good things: The movie looks great as always and the jokes are better then the ones in The Last Jedi. That's it. The movie begins by establishing a new story which has almost no connection to the events shown in the previous movies. It's obvious that J.J Abrams tried to save the trilogie with this movie, but he failed. Seems like everyone can use healing powers now (why didn't Luke heal Darth Vader at the end of Episode 6?), Kylo Ren can grab objects that are lightyears away and Palpatin builds an armada consisting of thousands of Star Destroyers (which are all equiped with weapons as powerful as the Death Star, because why not?)on a planet that is the least hostile place in the universe and without ANYONE noticing it. Scenes like the one where Rey is holding back an entire spaceship by using the force are just the icing on the cake. This whole movie is a mess and (hopefully) the final nail in the coffin.… 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

There is probably more lore destroying in this movie than the TLJ did.

Disney does not understand STAR WARS, the FORCE, character building, world building, story telling, moving pacing, ANYTHING!!

If you are newer SW fan you might like it, but there is no reason older SW fans would like this at all. This is essentially a Marvel type movie with a Star Wars paint job.

WTF did I watch!!

I am honestly shocked anyone likes this and is trying to defend it and telling people to ignore low score reviews.

Just one example: thousands of star destroyers with the same planet destroying power as a Death Star. There is a reason so much time and resources were spent to crate a battle platform the size of a moon...and then a even bigger light side force jumps in....it even hurts to write about this idiotic plot....… Expand

This movie is so disappointing. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley redeem it somewhat in their scenes, but outside of that it's really cliche and devoid of meaning. It felt like bad fanboy fan fiction.

Hands down this is the worst experience I’ve ever had watching one. Most reviews I see complain that the movie spent too much time giving true original fans a pat on the head. However for me the nods to past films were completely ineffective and only made me angry that they weren’t showing me enough. The people in the theater along with myself spent most of the movie scratching their heads, throwing their hands in the air in confusion, and I even heard a “Awwww JJ nooooo”. I can’t express my disappointment enough.… Expand

Une catastrophe sur toute la ligne. Cette saga n'apportent absolument rien a l'univers Star Wars sauf de la connerie.

Just a pathetic mess from the start not worth the time and effort to watch honestly just pretend Star Wars ended after the sixth episode

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty much the saving grace of this was the effects, cinematography, the actors (John Boyega,Adam Driver and Ian Mcdiarmid) and the legendary John Williams.It's really not saying much but it is indeed better than the Last Jedi. However it all counts for naught as this films completely suffers from a very rushed story, pointless new characters and plot holes that have a negative impact on the movie itself and the whole franchise, lack of character development and charm the OT and even some of the prequels.The forced MCU comedy and a total lack of danger which what makes an adventure film thrilling and fun since all the characters are basically unstoppable,lack of consequences and numerous of conveniences for the characters.The trio, Rey Finn and Poe, we've seen them all together for the first time and all they do is argue and bicker each other all the time there's no chemistry there and I'm not convinced they're friends. What hurts the movie most of all is the cruelest joke of all; the return of Emperor Palpatine, which is an obvious last minute plan that adds more questions and really makes the previous trilogies pointless and ruins the beautifully ending of ROTJ. Was the the whole point of The Emperor's return without any indication from the previous films so he can be killed again in the lamest way possible????Why not bring back Snoke(Darth Maul survived), or have Jar Jar Binks be the final villain instead of bringing back a character long been established by the creator to be dead? Since he survived being completely obliterated in ROTJ along with Death Star II, how are you gonna convince me that's he's truly dead?The second biggest mistake was ironically what fans hated...ROS tries it's best to ignore the TLJ but it ends giving this trilogy more continuity issues than it already did. How can you watch the sequel films again when they all feel disconnected. Very lazily done by JJ Abrams. The plot twist was cheap, predictable and unoriginal. Rey is still a Mary Sue although she finally has some training(but too little too late, she's already perfect to begin with) by someone who is confirmed to not even be a Jedi master(facepalm). The cameos from the OT and fan service moments were too much and did not serve the plot as a whole. The whole plot was messy and rushed. It was then obvious that Disney wanted to create another Endgame for a great franchise which already ended decades ago.Also, how is this film PG-13? This whole trilogy was a retconed mess,that tarnishes the legacy of the OT and it damages the entire lore. It's best to pretend they never happened, but even better if they were wiped from canon.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definetly one of the worst movies of the new trilogy.
Too fast paced, somtimes very fast cuts that don't allow the audience to breath in some dramatic scenes. On closeups the overall picture quality is good and sharp but wide shots suffer from a bit of blur in the 3D version of this movie.
Story wise the last movie gets cancelled out and it seems that J.J. doesn't want any other director to mess with his trilogy. I feel especially bad for all the side characters that got cut down in their roles. The ending would have been better if Ray turned dark, killed the emperor and kylo fought her in an epic lightsaber battle.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uninspired, cowardly, emotionally dissonant, fan-service plot that moves a mile a minute except every plot point serves to either destroy a character's arc or contradicts a previous point. The theater was laughing in disbelief within 15 minutes. The list of plot holes is a mile long. Characters were not given a moment to breathe or process anything that was happening.The Rey/Ben Solo interactions were one of the few plotlines with any soul or scrap of consistency. Children came out of the theatre crying because of Ben's death. Ultimately, the Skywalker legacy is erased, co-opted by the Palpatine line. Plus, Disney killed off their biggest money maker. I couldn't dream up a worse movie if I tried.… Expand

I struggled to stay awake. This new trilogy is just bad. Disney is capable of something much better. The mandalorian and rogue one proved it, but this movie is just bad.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's tragic. Nothing got me on the edge of my seat, a single scene inspired nothing else got me all that interested. I was a bit amazed in scenes but I expected that from such a massive company. The movie is to afraid to be more than fan service I think, with McGuffins for Mary Sues. The contrast between Kylo and Rey (light and dark) been the only part I kinda liked but been inherently flawed, kylo never had a advantage or posed a threat to Mary Sue. To me this made his change, predictable and disappointing. It's not worth been completely negative. The only fan service part I liked was luke raising his X wing, and the scene of Rey been down as all the previous jedi support her telling her to "rise". Personally thats all I liked. The major parts that didn't work for me. The constant poorly implemented "link" between Rey and Kylo, the constant forced FaceTime where some how there can still be damage to the surroundings. The scene of Rey seeing her evil side, doesn't carry any impact. It's completely skipped over and has no impact. Rey burying the lightsaber is a mix I get how some liked it, to me it didn't work at all and is frustrating. The absolute worst part is she immediately pulls out an amazing looking lightsaber of her own I imagine. Sporting a yellow blade, possible duel function and potentially an amazing scene of her creating it but no. Her taking the name of skywalker is underserved I think. There is more but thank you for reading this much.… Expand
