It's make no sense to anything that happen afore. I went in wanting a film where JJ Abrams and the producers (including de evil Kathleen Kennedy) stand in front of a camera and apologise for destroying my childhood memories of a film about space wizards and and a space rebellion. What I got instead was a fun piece of entertainer that had me thrilled in parts . I mean come on, who wants that after the epic fail o about broken characters trying to find a way to get the past behind them. Disney should be ashamed of what they did to something that i, and I alone own. Now if you don't mind I'm going to back into me echo chamber and cry while only listening to people who agree with my exact opinion of these movies and everything else. It's a sad day for star Wars fans, or at least people who think their fans but are in actual fact overgrown babes who are perfectly right about everything.

This move is awful and if you see it you're part of the problem, whatever that actually is!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

Scene after scene without much connection to each other. Everything was happening very convenient without much logic, time and distance was аn unfamiliar concept to the makers of this movie. Noticed a lot of recycled footage from the Force Awakens that was just looking odd and out of place. Certain character had his facial scar constantly disappearing and reappearing in different scenes which is a good indicator of the time and effort that went into making this movie - Zero. Too many copy/paste scenes from the Original trilogy with the purpose of nostalgia-bait. Music - mostly uninspired and used in the wrong places. Overall a badly bade movie and disastrous fail, filled with many errors, bad decisions, bad directing and writing.… Expand

I went into the cinema with an open mind, hoping this would be better than what I have seen previously. This is the first time ever, I have sat in the cinema watching star wars and got bored and wanted to walk out. First let's look at thisI went into the cinema with an open mind, hoping this would be better than what I have seen previously. This is the first time ever, I have sat in the cinema watching star wars and got bored and wanted to walk out. First let's look at this film as a stand alone film outside the context of the star wars universe.
- Apart from a few main characters most of the characters completely lack any sort of development and are rather 1 dimensional.
- The plot was painfully simplistic in a world that was poorly built, child like in its conception almost, I have seen better stories and world building emerge from D&D games.
- It appeals to nostalgia too much in an attempt to retain a fan base.
- At points it attempts to be humorous, attempts being the appropriate word.
- Cliche such as "I want to shoot you but secretly still love you" present, from yet another criminally underdeveloped character.
- Merchandising character placement neither subtle nor tasteful, a new droid character was added clearly for this purpose alone.
- Poorly explained plot points, how can C3PO read sith but is unable to speak it, where did that massive fleet come from exactly, how was a giant manned fleet constructed on a planet no one can get to, etc? - Plot armor, serious main character survive ability, from storm troopers missing at point blank range (something you would hope the creators of star wars would have learned from previous films) to main characters dying then not being dead. Any sense of risk for the party we follow is just completely lost.
- Rey is a Mary Sue, there is nothing she isn't good at and why she is the best/almost the best at any given task is not explained.
The film is a lazy edition to the star wars universe and here are issues it has in relation to this:
- power creep, the previous films had increasingly larger planet destroying weapons, the last of which could destroy multiple with 1 shot. Now we are presented with an entire fleet of planet destroying weapons.
- more power creep, the force can do anything now, this introduces plot holes in previous films as, "Why didn't they just force heal them?"
- inconsistent Palpetine writing, he was always about personal power, now he wants to die and "merge" with someone?
- Main characters, just get sidelined as if they are no longer important to the story.
There is more but I think this is enough to paint the picture. A terrible film from start to finish. The only saving grace is the space battles were pretty. Poorly developed characters, in a poorly developed world, with a simplistic plot.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rey Palpatine Ruins Darth Sidious as a character. He was not interested in having a family, or children, just power. Healing powers and force resurrection negate any deaths from the previous films. Everyone’s death was meaningless and could’ve been avoided. “Clone Snoke” Ruins the prequels because clones cannot use the force, otherwise they would’ve cloned Jedi for the clone army.

Why would the wayfinder be in the emperors throne room on the destroyed Death Star? This would have to have been there before the Emperor was killed and before the new order. Why would the Emperor have a wayfinder to himself pre death? Darth Vader’s Sacrifice to save his son and kill the emperor was for nothing if the emperor just lived on.

Luke knowing Rey was a Palpatine ruins the story of him not wanting to train her. Everything was destroyed in Rise of Skywalker. The lore, the sacrifices. Everything is made meaningless and totally pointless. As far as I’m concerned , The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Rise of Skywalker do not exist. If they are allowed to be canon and exist, Star Wars is totally ruined and destroyed.

J.J. Abrams and the Disney executives should be removed and banned from filmmaking, writing, producing etc. They have totally destroyed Star Wars.… Expand

And now the guy who made the ridiculous first movie comes back to try and save (fixing is beyond human power) the catastrophe that was the second movie.

The basics of character-driven stories are something which need to be adhered to. Not understanding why, or even what they are, is something executives demonstrated when they green-lit The Last Jedi's script.
The Rise of Skywalker is the result.
Let this be a lesson to all studios and franchise custodians alike. Letting people who don't even understand the basic rules of storytelling, at a first year English student level, hold ultimate power over the story of the biggest and most valuable franchise, the world has ever created, will end badly.

Awful story, awful mechanics, bad retconning changes to the lore. It's just a mess. As far as I'm concerned, Episodes 7-9 are non-canon because they just completely ruin the series.

It tries to do some different stuff but then still takes a lot of ideas from the older movies. The worst part is how Palpatine is a super fun part of the prequels but he feels extremely boring and silly in this movie. You could pick a random Star Wars nerd out of a crowd to write a better screen play than this. You could pick someone who isn't sure what Star Wars is. I don't know if the people who made this movie are incompetent or if they were just forced by Chinese standards or executives to sterilize the movie into an extremely boring mess.

The moment Ben brought Rey back to life was where the ending failed for me, after the tale of Darth Plagues being such a strong sith lord he could control life and death it would really hammer that Rey was a palpatine and only the sith had those powers, and that ben was good all along. Unable to use the dark powers that rey could, he would be forced to accept that he could not control life and death, in contrast to anakin and infact showing he was stronger. They could have then still done the Skywalker homestead scene but with Ben living in solitude and starting a new jedi temple. Outside of the main governing body much like the old jedi. Rey's arc would have started and ended with her being a nobody, and that's the point, she would have become strong on her own, as opposed to the "prestigious" Skywalker line.… Expand

A plot that makes zero sense and characters that just aren't very interesting. Disney finally kills off the last of the OG heroes in this one and bringing back Palpatine literally undos the entire Skywalker Saga story arch.

This is what I would expect a Star Was film to be with a rabid feminist like Kathleen Kennedy at the helm of LucasFilm. The Phantom Menace and the Clone Wars are much better than this dumpster fire.… Expand

CGI leia was not a wise move to keep her around and is made worse out of deconstructing her character last movie. if anything having her gone from the story probably wouldve done best instead of trying to keep her around for much longer. reverting luke back to himself here to counter what rian did doesnt really matter too much now cause of how is character is looked at now. chewy as now is barely a character like R2 and lando who only served small roles in the story and werent able too do much. certain characters were in this played no parts and were easily forgotten. its obvious disney had no blueprint on what this trilogy was gonna be and know where it was gonna go from the start. comes of more like a custody battle over the ownership with jj's cancelation of the last jedi. while rian canceled jjs universe from TFA. overall the trilogy is a huge mess lacking anything of quality. if anything this sequel trilogy down the road will be used to show what happens when you let untalented people have control over your work just to try to turn a profit. if anything its just bad movie with nothing really to say or enjoy. its just hollow, soulless, devoid of emotions put out by a corporation that has no more ideas on how to entertain its audience anymore… Expand

You see, I'm not a rabid SW fan. The OT has its fair share of problems, I really, really, really didn't like the prequels, and I was actually happy that the IP went to Disney and away from George (who's anything but the messiah of filmmaking he likes to think he is), and hey, I actually quite liked TFA overall, despite its problems. But TLJ burned the house down, and RoS actually manages to dump the charred remains into a vat of acid. Big budget movies don't get any lazier and more inept than this. If this level of script quality reflects the standard of movies these days (and if the last two seasons of Game of Thrones do the same for TV productions), then we're all **** out of luck.

This zero rating isn't given out of spite, it just reflects what I think this movie is worth. Fan fiction will have a hard time managing to be worse than this.… Expand

I refuse to put more effort into a review than the entirely of the director and crew for this movie put into this films story. Thinking back on my experience going to see this movie in theaters I would have to say the only joy I got from the experience was knowing as I walked out of the theater with some relief reminding myself that I used a gift card to pay for the ticket. The whole trilogy especially this final installment are so horribly written they ruin the plot for all previous star wars films. I dislike ALL star wars films now. I am in awe how horribly this movie and the two previous one were handled. How with hundreds of millions of fans who love anything star wars and many decades of history proping up the star wars franchise and lore can Disney fail so miserably and consistently I think is monumental and fills me with absolute awe. I never thought before anyone could fail so thoroughly I can scarcely believe it. I genuinely can't. Some part of me finds it more believable this **** pile of a film was done horribly on purpose. This somehow surpasses the ability to be so bad it's good. Everyone about this movie just screams a depressing level incompetent stupidity, lack of giving a **** about proper story writing, and millions of dollars dumped into flashy animation. Really the only engaging things about this movie are blatant marketing campaigns to sell toys and other merch. I mean screw it, the suspension of disbelief is impossible anyways so why not divert screen time toward inserting ads into this stupid film. I know marketing toys in star wars films go as far back as ewoks but considering the urgency for this franchise to pull itself out of it's own ass seeing its existence in this film make me want to throttle that ****-stain of a director. Disney is drowning star wars in incompetence but gotta shill toy robots with it's limited runtime. **** me running. **** everything about Disney and star wars.… Expand

It contributes nothing good to Star Wars universe, breaks a lot of laws of the said universe with no explanation, and I just really don't know where they could go next after this movie - Rey is so stupidly overpowered that there is nothing they could do to make it feel like there is anything at stake in future. The only option would be to scale down by either retconning Rey or just killing her off the screen and starting over with less powerful Jedi, so it actually feels like there is a risk of them losing.

Arko777Dec 20, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars the Rise of Marey Sue is a convoluted mess of a movie. The whole plot is nonsensical as it's based on Palpatine that somehow survived the fall, explosion from the reactor and on top of that the annihilation of the second death star. Maybe the audience will get an explanation for this amazing feat? Nope. It's shoved away by the line from the prequels about unnatural powers of the dark side. He's just here for some weird fanservice and to die by the hand of a "true hero" - Rey in one of the most anticlimactic endings I've ever seen in the cinema that makes the story of episodes 1-6 null and void. To even, get to the ending the audience has to endure the never-ending fetch quests for objects of plot value. It's so bad that at some point the main crew of characters have to find a missing person that has an item that leads to another item that finally leads to the big bad. All of this is held by the endless rush of action and scenes that overwhelm you with visuals and callbacks because in today's day and age you need to be distracted to not see the floppy writing.

The characters are as bland as in 7&8, but on top of that this time we spice things up with inconsistency. Rey's power level fluctuates depending on the plot. She had a year of training on top of the godly powers demonstrated in 7&8 so she should be pretty strong at this point right? Nope. She can't even beat Kylo which she defeated two times in previous movies, but somehow Leia has to die for her to beat him. Speaking of Kylo his power level changes as well, because somehow he can stand to the godly Rey now and even overwhelm her at one point. Consistency? What's this? Rey also pulls new abilities out of nowhere because she's that good I guess. Also, Kylo's story arc is this movie is that - he's super evil, then he's not evil because a phantom of Han Solo told him to be good and then he sacrifices himself for Rey by kissing her lips and transferring his life force to her so she can claim that she's Skywalker on the Tatooine. It's bad.

Finn exists now solely to yell "Rey". The movie tries to develop and bond him with a new character and her band that are also ex-stormtroopers, but it never goes beyond surface-level as the pace of the story won't allow developing anyone. Not to mention this squad's whole backstory is "we just gave up on killing civilians" and First Order didn't do anything about them.

Poe also received an additional backstory that is supposed to give him depth because he was a smuggler once and had a dubious girlfriend. It's only important to the story, so they can find another plot device and move on as fast as they can.

As for other characters, many fakeout deaths try to evoke emotions in the audience. At one point Cheewie is killed by Rey using force lightning on First Order's transport ship by accident. In the very next scene, he is ok so there's no lesson for Rey and the audience feels cheated by baiting out a character's death. The same happens with C3PO that "dies" just to read a message on one plot device so the crew can find another plot device. He's later restored by R2D2 so any emotional impact of "looking last time at my friends" scene is null and void.

At the end of the movie, I felt hollow. There was nothing, but empty fanservice and convoluted plot. I don't want a perfect story, but please J.J try to use basic logical consistency next time.… Expand

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

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