Disappointing end to a bad trilogy

Rating: 5/10 (17 March 2020)

What is there left to say?
Not content with a silly premise, we have a movie with no story, just a series of events stitched together.
And when he could, Abrams added characters whose only role was to tick the politically correct gender diversity box.
And apparently the Jedi and Sith can do magic. Who knew? But it certainly solves insurmountable problems when you start to have god-like powers.
And the final scene? Bleh. Completely out of place and completely meaningless.
This movie will be taught at universities and writing courses everywhere as an example of lazy screen writing, and lazy directing.
It gets 5 stars for being slightly better than the Force Awakens, and for being infinitely better than the steaming pile of garbage called the Last Jedi. A movie so bad, the Rise of Skywalker decides to ignore its existence. You can actually go from the first movie to the third with very little confusion.
Worth watching just to say you did, with nothing else to recommend it.
Update: just finished the 7th season of the Clone Wars. If only this trilogy was as good, with Ahsoka Tano as the main character, instead of Mary Sue.
