The film is two hours of frenetic pacing and hurried, cliché writing as J.J. Abrams tries to erase Rian Johnson's Episode 8 tragedy and speed to a conclusion of his own. The result is a film that never stops moving, never allows for any real emotional connections when certain big events transpire, and turns into a Michael Bay-esque action-shot-o-rama.

There's plenty of fan service to be had, which is fine, but it's clearly being used to gloss over the major shortcomings the film has. Lots of retcons (not just of Ep 8 but also some of Abrams' own Ep 7), lots of plot holes, and a lot more Mary Sue Rey. Whether they realized it or not, the writers essentially lifted the Palpatine plot from the [now non-canon] book 'Dark Empire II' -- and that makes me ponder just how much better this could have been had Disney adapted the post-Return of the Jedi Extended Universe into a proper trilogy rather than throw the entire EU into the trashcan.

Say what you will about the Lucas prequel trilogy: They were full of Lucas' 'complete control' excess with a lot of bad writing but at least they told a mostly consistent story which Lucas had a planned start, middle, and ending for. This Disney sequel trilogy has been a bumbling, incoherent, inconsistent mess from start to finish and the only thought I left the theater with was: Thank God we're done with this Disney travesty for the foreseeable future. At least we have The Mandalorian to look forward to and if Disney is smart they would: A) Hand off the reins to the film franchise to Dave Filoni and Jon Faverau, and, B) let the Star Wars film franchise rest for several years before bringing out anything else.… Expand

The movie is SO BAD that it becomes very funny and laughable. Just watch it without any positive expectations and you will see that it is just ridiculous.

Bad movie, bad Star Wars, just like a big joke.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Holy Lord this was bad. This was such a bad, bad, bad film. It was terrible.

I'll start with the only 3 things I liked - C3PO, Han's scene, and the final shot, which I thought was beautiful and echoed A New Hope very nicely.

Everything else was remarkably bad. Nothing made sense. Who had what power, how did they have it, why would they lose it if they did this or that, why would they gain it if they did this, or if they link up with whoever...who what where when why. Just a complete screenwriting fart on screen.

Palpatine...ok. No explanation for how he survived, how he did anything at all he said he did, how he was Ray's grandfather, how did he know some things, but did not know other obvious ones...why was there 0 build up to him from the first two movies...really everything that happened on screen was just a horribly stupid screenwriting fart. They didn't plan the story, they didn't collaborate properly, this was basically a "pick up from the last sentence" creative writing exercise. And they can do it because they are a billion dollar franchise and know people will see the movie no matter how embarrassing the screenwriting and the planning is.

I'm just embarrassed for the legacy of the franchise and the talent of the actors who were stuck in a terrible script.

The only two characters that mattered in any way were Rey and Kylo/Ben. But the conclusion to their story was just horribly unsatisfying. After all this and they deliver a bland, see it coming from the first scene of A Force Awakens conclusion of Kylo sacrificing himself to save Rey. Quick kiss without addressing what if anything it means. Just frustrating.

Easily the worst Star Wars movie, and I think it is absolutely insane if anyone prefers the sequel trilogy to the prequel one after this let down.… Expand

Seriously, do something different, folks...for all of it's faults (and there were many) regarding The Last Jedi, at least it told a story and emotionally engaged me - a Rebellion on the brink, Luke turning inward, Rey learning the ropes, the kinda love thing between Rose and Finn, Poe learning that "them b*tches" maybe know what they're doing so he should sit tight for a sec and wait for orders, the ghost Luke fight at the end...solid stuff (I'm going to skirt around the B-Plot as it paid off at the very end, but MAN it took awhile to get there; also not a fan of the random Benicio Del Toro betrayal with no payoff, because why? And probably some more sht.)

But this...THIS was just fan service. And the worst kind of fan service - fan service for fans that are too damned old to be listened to. It's like a 50 year old man walking into "Batman Begins" and saying "well, Tim Burton did it better so RAAAAGE!"

I don't even know where to begin with all of the repetitive, recycled plot points and set pieces here, but here goes:

-Palpatine is the bad guy....AGAIN. FOR THE NINTH MOVIE, because apparently for the 7th and 8th "he'd been there all along" (weird how we never saw him or got a hint...he's THAT good)
-Rey finds out she was lied to about her parents and that she's a descendant of a powerful dark side user...but the lie was TRUE "from a certain point of view..."
-She finds this out from her nemesis, almost preparing to leap to her death to escape before the Falcon rescues her
-The final scenes are in the Endor system...on the Death Star...IN THE EMPEROR'S THRONE ROOM
-The hero uses a lightsaber to block force lightning attacks...oh, wait, she has TWO...RIGHT. Totes different. Oh, while a space battle rages outside
-This fleet of planet killing ships will all be vulnerable if a commando team can engage in a land battle to take our the mcguffin of a shield thingee whatever
-Lando leads an armada that saves the day at the end, but has virtually no plot impact for most of the movie
-The "bad guy" sacrifices himself to save the hero at the end (the one tiny saving grace is that he didn't "save her" because that would have been a bridge too far)

This is a movie that was exactly what the fans who hated TLJ wanted and it's awful because of it. Somehow it had only slightly MORE soul than Solo, which is the only reason this gets a 3 out of 10, because Solo is the very bottom, a 0 out of 10, full stop.

Prediction: when we look back years from now, the second installment of this trilogy will be held up as the best of the lot. And I'm not even a Rian Johnson fanboy (and I actually LOVE JJ Abrams work..usually), but Johnson's Star Wars standalone trilogy is the only thing that can possibly save this franchise theatrically, at this point - something far removed from the Skywalker/Solo/Kenobi/Palpatine mess...this should be the end of that story and these characters forever. You'll have more fun watching "The Mandalorian..." which is excellent. This was not - go see "Parasite" instead...… Expand

Yet it failed to impress due to bad execution and the plot being too much of a copy of Episode IV. It did however have the potential to set up a great trilogy.
Episode VIII then threw all of that out the window, turned the best of the new characters into a comedy relief and his only interresting and emotional scene into a cringefest, while the established characters were turned on their head or just killed in the background and the movie got lost in pointless sideplots.

Episode IX - well...
It relies on bringing back the villain of the previous trilogy from the dead, which would have been a decent plot twist had it not been spoiled by the trailers.
Great start...

Since the predecessors did such a poor job of building up story and characters the movie has to spend its first half doing that, leading to massive pacing issues.
Abrams throws in some of the cheapest and most uncreative tropes possible to archieve this and keep the plot going, using the overly fast pacing to distract from how outright stupid and artificial the whole thing is.

The second half seems much better on the surface, but falls apart as soon as you turn your brain on.
Many scenes require you to just accept that a certain premise is true even though its painfully obvious how nonsensical it is, a lot of other things are just so awfully convenient for the plot that they feel extremely unnatural.
And the force is completely bent into oblivion, now being capable of teleportation and whatever else.

And the End...
That might have actually been at least decent, had Rey been built up as a character that you could care about and be emotionally invested in.
But aside from 2-3 scenes she is as bland and unlikable as ever so it just doesnt really work.
Also aspects of it are copied from Episode VI...

The reason why Im not giving it a trash rating despite all of this is that there are some genuinely good moments of character interaction and because it is obvious that most of these problems arent really the fault of this film but of its predecessor.
Abrams was given an impossible task with this and even though you can see he tried, it ended as one would expect.
Had they made this a two-part movie it propably would have worked much better as there would have been much more time to build the plot and the characters, but that wasnt an option aparently.
The result feels more like a rushed atempt at damage control than like a worthy conclusion to a trilogy.

The movie isnt good, but its propably about as good as it ever could have been under these screwed up circumstances.… Expand

The movie suffers from a myriad of issues mostly centred around its plot(which was close to non existant). The first half of the movie felt extremely disjointed, as if the director found out he needed to trim the movie down in length, and did so by cutting part of the begging and ending off pretty much each of the scenes. It also suffers from what I consider to be convenience writing. Our heroes would have a major issues and then poof, there was a solution that just appeared. This happened again and again, and really did a number on the narrative tension, it really felt like no matter what happened something would just happen and give our heroes a out. Another key issue I had was that the dialog felt lacking, I am attributing this to the fact that it felt like part of each scene was missing.

The movie did have a couple good points. The acting was good for what each actor and actress were given(not much). The visuals were stunning and John Williams sound track is still one of my all time favourites. But unfortunately these three things are not enough to make up for the lack of substance in any way shape or form.

I just cant give my recommendation to go see it. While some I am sure will enjoy the movie for the top tier visual effects, it is far too flawed for anyone who cares about the worldbuilding and story to enjoy in any meaningful way.… Expand

Plot is fast paced and all over the place. It’s hard to keep track of what’s going on and why. But most importantly they killed Ben Solo. They kept on and on for three movies about how Rey and Ben are equals and how they balance each other. Then they introduce the fact they are a dyad and tied together. For what? Ben’s dead and now there’s an imbalance again. And speaking of dying. Why did anyone have to die at the end? The last Skywalker dead for no reason. The lonely girl who wanted a family ends up alone again and without the person she loves. And then Rey just taking the Skywalker name? For what? Oh and for everyone saying that he died just like his grandfather Vader did. You’re missing the point. Ben was trying to be someone he wasn’t and to have him die like that was stupid. At least Vader got a memorial and we saw his force ghost smiling with the others at the end.

Star Wars is a lot like the world today, everyone acting like it’s ok but it’s not. Hanging onto the past and not the future. Fighting an impossible battle that no side can win accept a few that don’t actually know what they are doing. StuckStar Wars is a lot like the world today, everyone acting like it’s ok but it’s not. Hanging onto the past and not the future. Fighting an impossible battle that no side can win accept a few that don’t actually know what they are doing. Stuck in its ways, or the way to force another version of its broken self, rather than discovering something new. A New Hope? More like the same hope, offered time and time again which never works. Awful Film. Great Profit. Box office: 1.058 billion USD
Budget: 275 million USD

A perfect example of why nothing is allowed to change in this world. Yoda. Go suck a f**k you tiny ba**ard. Finally, the only news is 'they' finally made something worse than The Avengers. This is not film! And this is not our world as it should be. Yours

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie legitimately ruined my childhood, I grew up with star wars and this garbage movie crapped all over everything I love. I will admit I'm fine with episodes 7 and 8 they're average, but this movie -if I dare call it that- is far from mediocre, and does not belong in the star wars timeline, the only place this dog poop movie deserves to be is the fiery pits of hell. Don't even get me started on the plot, which by the way, a 2-month-old orangutang with every mental disorder known to man could have done a better job on. speaking of said neolithic plot, some plot points that made me lose brain cells include the whole Kylo Ren and Rey romance; the two characters (who have the personality of recycling bins) are trying to rip each other's throats out for the whole movie (which would have been much more entertaining than whatever bullcrap they were actually doing) but at the end, they decide to be friends, and you know what event spurred this sudden change of heart? Rey mortally stabbed Kylo in the stomach then barely healed him then left him for dead on the wreckage of the death star, which makes perfect sense, wouldn't any sane person who got stabbed by some drunk homeless person in an alleyway want to start a family with them. speaking of the death star wreckage this is yet another point in the movie that was horrendous. using a dagger they found on Tatooine's deranged little brother, our band of extremely cliched morons heads to some dumb planet I forgot the name of to find the death star wreckage (which is one of the many cheap examples of money-grubbing fan service in this "movie") and figure out where the mundane McGuffin is. to find it, Girl luke skywalker pulls a ruler out of the hilt of the dagger, and the jagged edges of the dagger line up perfectly with the wreckage of the death star to show where whatever the heck they were looking for was, now riddle me this how, how does a dagger presumably built before the death stars construction pinpoint exactly where the relic is even though the death star was blown up into completely random and jagged pieces and said relic almost would have had to move around a little bit during the explosion? garbage plot points that's how. now I will admit that the fight scene between Rey and Kylo on the death star wreckage is somewhat visually pleasing yet it would have been more if I could see through the tears this horrid movie produced. another thing is why does Han solo -I mean- Poe Dameron says that the stormtroopers "fly now" meaning that this is the first time that the troopers have flown or used jet packs, which is false because the clone soldiers of the galactic republic were using jet packs before this character was even conceived, in-universe and in real life. another thing to add is that there were just random characters who were introduced in this movie and advertised before the movie came out as being major or significant characters, but no, they had like 10 minutes of screen time overall. now I've been avoiding it for too long, the disgusting, monstrous plot point that really sealed the satanic deal for this movie: why and how the actually, definable, frick is Palpatine back. "they used cloning" I hear you say, "his soul left his body" all excuses of what it actually is: greedy fan service, yet I don't recall anyone even mentioning that they wanted to see Palpatine revived, and the reasoning behind that is that nobody did want him to be revived, and nobody who previously didn't want him back is happy that he returned. the message of this movie is to ignore your past and look on to your future or something, I mean I could be wrong, it's not like they slapped it across my face like a dead fish every other scene, but that message is not the best one, would you hire someone who kidnapped fifteen children a few years back but has a had a clean track record since? I would hope not. in the end, this movie is just sad that this is what star wars has become, such a great franchise ruined by corporate greed and attempted fan service, but there is still hope for this galaxy far far away because there is a multitude of star wars stories in all shapes and sizes that can cleanse your weary eyes and mind from the garbage that Rise of Skywalker. I rest my case.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Your “scenario” was completely merged and in detail a year ago, six months later it was distributed across all social networks. And absolutely nobody liked him, considering him nonsense written under drugs ....
Weighted by the death of Palpatine, the First Order is destroyed? I doubt it ... Who can guarantee that another First Order or Empire will not appear ??? ..
Many characters were introduced, and the old ones were not revealed at all. I would like to ask a question, but for what many of them were needed? For a couple of seconds?
I liked in episode 8 that Rian wanted to do BALANCE. He liked the idea of ... "grayness." He, unlike Abrams, did not divide everything into black and white.
He shot his eighth episode, and struck out the Rian episode from the plot. I can not call it professionalism ...
Also, if you look at Abrams’s interview on the film itself, I can confidently say that we were told about the completely opposite plot .. In fact, it was a lie to the fans to attract the audience ...
You understand that they stuck a dagger in the heart of many people. You have brought children and adults to tears and tantrums. It is absurd that the 40-year-old saga ended with the destruction of all Skywalkers. Then what was its meaning?
Do not teach yourself and your children that death is the only form of atonement. It is not right! The stories told in this way are terrible, they do not teach anything and do not give any hope! Directors and screenwriters should stop doing this...… Expand

I am going to write a sequel to The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. And my sequel, the first new film it's going to happen after the events of The Lord of the Rings. And in my trilogy the first one is going to be called The Ring Awakens, the second one is going to be called That Last Ring Bearer and then the third and final film is going to be called The Rise of the King.

And in my film, this is the really important bit, Sauron never died. They never destroyed him. The Fellowship was not successful. They failed.'

Because that's exactly what they've done here with the Star Wars mythology. So they failed to destroy Sauron. Sauron's back, he's been waiting in hiding the whole time. Don't ask me how this makes any sense, it just does. And there's another villain in the meantime who's cropped up, we'll call him Snauron. And Snauron is actually a puppet of Sauron. And again, don't ask how any of this makes sense. It just does, ok it just does? Trust me.

And that's my new Lord of the Rings trilogy and I'm carrying on the story. Everyone would say, 'no you're not, you're butchering the original creation, you're undermining, you're attacking, actively attacking the mythology. And you are doing a great disservice to someone else's creative efforts.'"… Expand

A bad film, with many things without explanation, jedi powers have become like Marvel superpowers.

1) In episode 6, didn't Palpatine's body incinerate, neither after falling into the core of black death, or following the explosion of black death itself? Impossible.
2) If they introduce the power to teleport objects, I expect that introduced any power, such as making disappear stars , creating planets, .....
3) With the exception of those who manage to transform into Force ghost , when a jedi dies he loses his identity.
Obi Wan in episode 6 said he can't interfere with the events, so it's impossible that they spent their energies on Rey.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not just the worst Star Wars movie ever made, it's one of the worst endings and installments to any franchise I've ever seen.

No new characters were harmed during the making of this film, all the Skywalkers are dead, a girl who is a Palpatine is all of the sith, and she's also all of the Jedi, aka the whole universe, she also takes the Skywalker name, Luke's X Wing, Anakin and Leia's lightsaber, it's like seeing a divorce on-screen.

The lack of imagination is offensive, Palpatine is back in this movie, the questions that come to mind are "Why? How? When?" wasn't he tossed down an elevator shaft and an explosion that followed afterwards?
Didn't the Death Star explode to a million bits along with Palpatine? Are we being lead to believe that he was alive this whole time?

The mindless set pieces are everywhere, there is little danger to the new characters, I know that in Star Wars there's plenty of plot armor, but these people have so much plot armor that they are worth a Cyberdyne factory, the whole Palpatine fleet has Death Star cannons, and if that's not enough, the entire fleet relies on one control tower, and then one ship to take off, then a whole bunch of people show up and it makes you wonder, where was this Rebel fleet during Episode VII or VIII?! it's just candy to keep the audience entertained.

The plot of this movie is so forced, the characters don't drive the plot, the plot drives the characters, it's MacGuffin after MacGuffin, the pacing and editing is too fast, it's scene, scene, scene, scene, objects seem to teleport all over the place, there is enough to make the audience confused rather than intrigued.

This is a total retcon of The Last Jedi, it wanted to please everyone, keep some of what made The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens, it ended up pleasing no one. This is the worst Star Wars film ever made, and every time I watch Batman and Robin or Superman III, I will do it with my subconcious telling me: It could of been a hell of a lot worse.

This movie will serve as an example of that kind of worse, it's bad fan fiction, but what offends me is that people were actually paid to write this movie, what a waste of time and money. Save your own money, and don't even pirate this film because it's not worth the time.… 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.

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

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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Rise of Skywalker is a compromised movie with enormous plotholes. This is what happens when there is no real clear vision and no original imagination. JJ Abrahams took ideas which where used in the Dark Empire comics from the early 90-ies. In that series the Emporer survived his fall and his Dark life energy was collected and put inside a clone body where he was young again. Luke was turned to the Dark Side and commanded the Eclipse which was a Massive Super StarDestroyer with DeathStar fire power. That was basicly what've we've got in the Rise of Skywalker only badly excecuted and details were changed so it wasn't an exact copy. In TROS there was no explanation at all how the Emporer survived, we just should except it?! There were good parts in the movie but the final battle with the massive fleet was just garbage. There was no real sense of danger, emotion or purpose. By the end of the movie i felt very empty. WTF did i just watched?! They had the chance to make a magical movie with an open ending but they chose this path. In the end we've got a rushed, fake and empty feeling movie which insulted the original movies and true Star Wars fans.… Expand

Depressiv and meaningless ending of a Saga. 40 years of suffering from a whole family for nothing.

A story with 1 dimensional characters and no logical background. No time for talking, grieving, developing. One action sequence chasing the next. All for a few good views.
If you don't think to much the movie might be good and entertaining. But a soon as you want more as stupid fights and actions you are in the wrong movie.
The concept of balance, the Grey are forgotten. Back to good vs evil. No deep dialoges. Star wars should be a fairy tale, but this movie was a tragedy. No hope left. The end of a Saga in ashes. A fairytale which left 2 kids in my cinema crying like hell. What's wrong disney?… Expand

Too much fan service and not enough substance. It’s time for a full reboot and a complete reimagining of the franchise.

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

Full of plot holes, nonsensical MacGuffins and silly additions, e.g.: Force Skype now gives Jedi and Sith the ability to teleport objects. Riiight. Boring and cringeworthy.

Some really dumb character moments, but not to the degree of the last movie.

Some cool cameos.

Too much cutting around from place to place.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All the talk of ignoring TLJ I don’t get. I for one wish they retconned more. I felt this was an ok follow up to TLJ. Hard for these movies to resonate after all the time I’ve spent with Star Wars. So many quality EU stories have been created and Disney is just not brave enough to mess with the OT enough. We will get all of the ideas fleshed out from TLJ, eventually. We will see Rey train Finn in a few years. We can even see Lucas return for a trilogy now. I’m glad the Disney Skywalker incest story is over. They did not do as good a job as say the Heir to the Empire story line. They were not brave enough with this latest trilogy. I’m still glad they tried and I’m excited for more. I did like Lando and many parts of this final movie. It did not push me away like TLJ. But I’m already trying to forget the entire thing and move on. They tried to both move on and concoct a OT SkyWalker Story, they should have done one or the other. We would always come back for more. We didn’t need force-fed new characters. This is just one version of many, keep hope, there will be hits and misses. But my Luke and Leia stories will always live in the EU. My recommendation is to go read Zahns first trilogy and Jedi Academy books to really see a good Star Wars story. But for this movie go and make some noise and make the audience your show and enjoy yourself! This movie has more good then bad, but I chose to hold on to other versions of Luke’s story. Go and cheer, go high five strangers, clap, cheer, and feel free to debate and chastise the story too. We are all a part of this story, we are all related when it comes to Star Wars, like it or not.… Expand

What a shame what Disney did to SW...Really sad. A total mess, full of incoherence with a pale copy of old scenarios and ideas. Pfff... That's the end. Disney killed SW. I would never go and see another SW movie.

While certainly fun to watch and oozing with beautiful fan service, The Rise of Skywalker needed to be more than just that: it needed to the film that concludes the Skywalker Saga in glorious fashion. Instead, we are left with an ending thatWhile certainly fun to watch and oozing with beautiful fan service, The Rise of Skywalker needed to be more than just that: it needed to the film that concludes the Skywalker Saga in glorious fashion. Instead, we are left with an ending that ultimately proves to be both underwhelming and unsatisfying. The characters of Rey, Finn & Poe fail to really develop, which is a shame since they showed such great promise in The Force Awakens. Kylo Ren/Ben Solo is really the only character worth getting invested in, and he deserved a much better ending than what he got. You have to wonder if Disney, Lucasfilm & JJ Abrams ever had a plan for this new trilogy. I'm only giving this movie a 6 because I really enjoyed the fan service.… Expand
