As a fan of Star Wars whom ignores all the politics, I am conflicted.

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2019)

Simply put, The movie is confusing. I don't mean hard to follow. I mean that it's hard to understand exactly how it all fits together and why the plot became what it did. If we look at the trilogy, 'The Force Awakens' was a great set-up for something wonderful, And 'The Last Jedi' was pure hollow nonsense which seemed to add nothing to the storyline, And 'The Rise of Skywalker' tried so hard to right the sinking ship. But, Because of the burden it had to bear, The entire movie felt like it was scrambling for footholds while falling off a cliff. It felt like trying to cram two movies into the space of one. It felt forced and rushed and left me so conflicted. I wanted to like it and tried to convince myself that it was the ending the trilogy needed, But to be honest it felt far too formulaic; Far too predictable because it was supposed to be an ending, But yet the characters felt completely disconnected from their previous movie's selves, Almost as if they never existed. The cinematography is fantasticly beautiful. The scoring is amazing. The choreography is the best in the trilogy. The action is fast paced and fun. To finalize, This movie was an average level of fun and does answer all the outstanding questions. But it leaves you with a bittersweet feeling. It does leave you wondering what could have been.
