In each movie the 'balance' changes between the dark (a forced agenda) and the light (SW original themes) so we end up with this incongruent trilogy that aims to have the final word on the series.… Expand

Have no idea why Disney needed to revive Palpatine. I see this as a sign of lack in new ideas. I can see clearly that even at the very begining of this triology Disney had absolutely no vision of where their story is actually going. So that's also clear that all this triology'd been made only to get more money from fans and never for SW universe development.
The story itself in 9th ep is plain, not interesting at all and has really big contentious issues. The characters are plain, Rei is OP and you have absolutely no compassion for her. All the dialogs are really either dry or strange. All the humor parts have jokes of really, REALLY bad quality (I wanted to kill myself at leats every time C3PO'd opened its mouth). The decisions characters made were stupid. All I could do in the cinema was laugh and discuss all these stupid moments with my brother. I think if I was on my own in the cinema, I'd stand up in the middle of the movie and walk away.
The only reason I give 1 to this episode is that it's much better that the previous one and it's FINALY the end of the triology made only to grab loads of money from fans.
You can do good movies. Just look at the "Rogue One". I can see this movie was made with huge love for SW universe. Look at "Mandalorian" series. These two examples can give you some idea, WHAT EXACTLY all the fans wanted to see. Even the first 10 mins of 1st Mandalorian episode is better that all the new triology.
I deeply love SW universe. And all I can see looking at this new triology is only disrespect for your viewers. It's really weak triology even comparing with the weakest Marvell movies. So don't you think that all the negative feedback is only because of some crazy fans of SW. Think carefully if you want continue to make another SW stories. Think of the STORY first. That should do it.
My only hope is that you Disney will not make a mess like that with the entire Old Republic and especially with Revan.
Don't be afraid to leave negative feedback and describe what you feel. Disney needs to know that they did the whole thing wrong, so next time we may be able to have really good story with interesting characters that will make you hold your breath. At least, I hope so.… Expand

They had no idea where they were going with the story and hoped they'd find there way by the end but this is a terrible way to end the saga.

What kind of alternate universe do we live in where Disney owns Star Wars and the Star Wars sequels end up being a complete mess. The movie title “Rise of Skywalker” is a complete lie since it’s none other than a Palpatine that survives and the Skywalker bloodline is extinguished. A complete utter disaster. Unbelievable. How is it that there was no coherent plan for these movies? How were the sequels passed around to different directors for them to do as they please? One would think that Disney should have a degree of competence commensurate with such a sacred cultural item - but apparently not. This is proof that most conspiracy theories, which require extreme competence to be believable, are in fact explained away by the sheer incompetence of those involved.… Expand

The pacing is terrible, the plot revolves around another macguffin just like the last two entries into the main Star Wars movies, it craps all over the original 6 Star Wars movies and makes them redundant, Rey is made more powerful than any Jedi or Sith who has ever lived, nothing is meaningful or has any real impact, and any consistency that once existed in the canon of Star Wars is gone. So many plot holes have been opened as a direct result of this garbage, and has done more damage to the franchise than The Last Jedi EVER did. They bank so hard on nostalgia to try to get the old fans of the Original Trilogy back, but they also, simultaneously, try to play it as safe as possible and not take any risks. The entire trilogy that Disney has made, they're just reshoots of the Original Trilogy, minus the meaningful story, lovable characters, or good writing. If you're a Star Wars fan, heed my warning, steer clear of this dumpster fire at all costs. If you're just looking for a movie that you can enjoy casually, look elsewhere; there's too much exposition for this to be enjoyable casually either.… Expand

In the first 30 minutes of the movie, I'm not sure that the average time between cuts is higher than about 4 seconds. It moves all over the place and doesn't let you settle until the movie is well underway.

It was not impossible to write a good movie with the constraints imposed by TLJ but they simply chose not to, making the story confusing and devoid of logic.

The action scenes are scattered all over the place, with very thin plotlines failing to keep them together. There is no tension in any of the scenes, as the movie constantly undoes any major decision that affects the main (or secondary) characters in a way that could induce someone to feel sad for more that a few seconds.

The pacing is terrible, again as a natural conclusion of writing a movie as a mash-up of cool scenes instead of a natural, well thought-out plot.

The only way I can make sense of this terrible story is that Palpatine made his daughter to inadvertently kill all of the Skywalkers off. What I can't explain however, is after she kills all of them off she steals their last name. "Rey Skywalker" she called herself at the end of the movie. Darth Jar Jar would honestly be proud of the damage she caused by making it look like an accident.… Expand

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

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

ThisHere even I still thought that they would at least have listened a TINY TINY bit to their fan's critique, especially after the disasters that were Ep.8 and Solo. So I gave them a last chance. But they made everything worse actually.
This movie is obviously the last where Jar Jar Abrams has any say. The movie feels like he just made it to tell the fans a nice farewell-"F*ck you! I make this! Not you! You all are just id*ots anyway!". Yes, its is THAT bad and completely wasted time and money. Judging from the plot holes and incoherent lore, the makers must literally be thinking the audience has an average IQ of 50 and have never seen the old trilogies or know nothing about Star Wars whatsoever.

The only thing I can now hope for is that these episodes are going to be "remade" very very quickly. AKA completely new plot and characters. How about next year? And without Kennedy and of course Jar Jar or anyone who even slightly tolerated getting these movies released like that.
Or just forget them and never ever mention anything that happened in them, like the Ghostbusters remake.… Expand

Adding Force ghost intervention powers makes the previous eight movies pointless, since why the F didn't they just kill Palps in the first movie and end it right away? I mean, they're ghosts! And there must be thousands of them by now, so what could he have done to stop them?
And when you take all this....insult and add to it that Raymond the Amazing stole EVERYTHING from Luke you have the worst movie every made. By far. Don't give me Plan Nine From Outer Space! This is worse. A wooden Mary Sue who has stolen everything, and then she has the gall to call herself Skywalker when she is the granddaughter of Palpatine.
Palpatine won, folks. That's how mindless the Disney trilogy is. I don't care which of the eight former movies you liked, Rise of Palpatine takes a huge dump on it. Even if you only liked Force Awakens, which was made by the same idiot who directed this monstrosity, it is covered in it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie had no redeeming qualities at all. It was part Indiana Jones, part Harry Potter, part LOTR, and part SW--not SW. There were many plot points to the movie and yet all of them were bad.

I, or maybe the internet, thought Rey was related to Palpatine after TFA. To see that come true was just terrible especially after the revelation that Rey wasn't related to anyone. The dialogue was often worse than the worst parts of the prequel trilogy. You could tell the actors were trying their hardest not to cringe at the dialogue at times. I really feel sorry for Ian McDermed whose last performance in ROTS was just incredible. It was the definitive showoff for the character. One particular plot point that I really thought was strange was that Lando and Luke searched unsuccessfully for the sith artifact/ship of the one guy a long time ago, and yet Rey and the gang find it by accident in a matter of minutes. Luke is connected to the force. Wouldn't he be able to tell if something was give off dark side energy? That was the point the movie first made me cringe. The next was Rey stopping the frigate with the force and then blowing it up with lightning. The worse part was that they made it seem like she killed Chewie for about five minutes. If Chewie is to die even in a fake out death, he deserves a way better death than something ridiculous like that. The movie does reverse other parts of The Last Jedi like Luke having respect for the Jedi again, Rose's inclusion as a main character, and Kylo Ren being all encumbered with being evil. One aspect it does not reverse is the force connection between Rey and Kylo which Snoke created. How is it still around if Snoke is dead? It doesn't matter, and it's used around 10 times here and in a more extreme way than before. Rey and Ren have lightsaber duels through the force portal when before they could barely touch their hands together. The Last Jedi hinted at letting the past die, but here it's all about reliving the past.

I guess the only compliment I can give the movie is the sets and locales were really interesting. The sith ghost stadium was pretty cool looking as well. If this had been used in some other way in the plot, it would have made more sense.… Expand

You cannot make a boring uninspired premise in the first part of the trilogy, **** it up in every conceivable way in the second part and expect to compensate in the finale of a trilogy simply by pumping up the pace by 300%. The movie is a mess. Palpatine´s plan is retarded from the get go and the very fact he even is in the movie is exactly as it sounds before you even watch it... It doesnt make sense and its incredibly forced and obvious he´s simply there to make up for the **** up that was Snoke´s character and demise. The previous movies made lightsabers a joke and this one adds the force to the things disney sw ruined. There are no rules and no limitations, especially if you´re Rey. Other than that, the movie is nice to look at, though you better not think about what you´re looking at. Just enjoy the visuals. And Rey is also nice to look at, which is ofc the only interesting thing about her "character".

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Complete garbage writing and an insulting way to end the series. First off, they try to pretend the last movie never happened and cram multiple movies into one. Remember the characters you met in Last Jedi? Well, they have nothing to do in this one. That's just problem ONE. I don't know why JJ Abrams seems so obsessed with 'fake out' deaths, but to get the audience emotional about losing Chewie (which would have been a good plot device at giving Rey a flaw) and C-3PO only to go 'oh, wait, no, they're just fine!' a couple minutes later...this plot relies heavily on those kinds of coincidences. They just HAPPEN to find the dagger they need, they just HAPPEN to be standing in just the right spot, they just HAPPEN to realize the force can suddenly heal people. Oh, and, the emperor is back. Somehow he lived through being thrown into the death star core and being blown up. And it all just kinda takes place off screen at the beginning to no ones surprise. Just like everyone knew all along that Rey was a Palpatine (except Rey of course).

Save your money...this whole movie just plays out like bad fanfiction.… Expand

The actors have potential, but the script gave them no help. It’s really a pity as most people wanted this to be good. Sadly this movie fails at almost everything except for special effects.
The writing is particularly bad, with plot holes and retconning all over the place. Also, it has some of the cheesiest/cringiest lines in cinema.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What Disney did with Luke Skywalker and all his legacy ... doesn’t have name. They totally broke the concept of the force.
Then it is hard to thing which character is more inconsequential...

Ben is useless in all the movie and he is only a supper to resurrect Rey ... and the kiss at the end... the people ware literally laughing in the cinema in that moment and seconds later he dies ... everybody else... “wtf”? Rey, all time the same ... totally overpowered... she was training but a moment later she could kill the emperor with full powers.

I can write for 1 hour but yeah ... they killed Star Wars... really sad what George Lucas did ...… Expand

This movie is a giant middlefinger to everybody, especially George Lucas, and his creation. It's what happens when you give it to people that have ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE to what Star Wars is, but they sure have an agenda.This movie is a giant middlefinger to everybody, especially George Lucas, and his creation. It's what happens when you give it to people that have ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE to what Star Wars is, but they sure have an agenda. It COMPLETELY breaks the lore, the world and characters of Star Wars. Instead of listing everything (which is just too much), I will simply say - go and watch shadiversity's amazing review/breakdown: "The Rise of Skywalker is TRASH of the highest order, STAR WARS full in-depth review".

I was thinking of giving it a more reasonable score (of 2, because even as a movie it simply fails on EVERY aspect - pacing, plot, characters, EDITING, etc), but since we have a flood of trolls and disney accounts leaving 10/10s (especially on RT), I will simply leave a 0/10. It's what this movie is to me anyway, as a Star Wars fanatic that understands the deeper meanings that George Lucas embedded in his work, which ironically were completely destroyed the same way Palpatine destroyed the Jedi order - through careful manipulation, twisting of truth and the corruption of Good. It might've been simply ignorance and stupidity (and it's totally the case at least to a degree), but the end result is all the same.

Evil cannot create, it can only corrupt.… Expand

Look at the movies out now for Christmas and what a mess you will see. This is what Hollywood drops for its consumers. And the worst of all is this Star Wars movie which is unbearable. The dialogue unbearable. The lack of sophisticationLook at the movies out now for Christmas and what a mess you will see. This is what Hollywood drops for its consumers. And the worst of all is this Star Wars movie which is unbearable. The dialogue unbearable. The lack of sophistication unbearable. I walked out and took a stroll thru the mall with my GF and that was far more interesting. The only decent movie now playing is Knives out and that is 1 out of 12 at my theater. Disgusting.… Expand
