I'm sad. Just sad...

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2019)

Although Starwars has always been one of my favorite genres I watched the movie with little to no expectations and still managed to get disappointed. What should have been at least 2 movies was crammed into one and having to work with the "thing" Rian Johnson left behind him, which arguably is the worst movie in the Skywalker saga, couldn't have made it easier.
I've never seen a movie with such an amount of location changes even comparable to this one. This is especially apparent in the first 50 minutes or so. Constantly switching between sceenes full of information and mostly damage control, due to its predecessor, makes for an extremely boring opening were I constantly found myself fighting just to keep my eyes opened.
The story itself, as I've said, feels like it should have been stretched over at least 2 movies and not crammed into one. The plot is basically a giant treasure hunt revolving around talking to one person who then tells you to talk to someone else or go to a specific location. That belongs in your average video game side quest not in a Starwars movie.
The fact that Palatine exist feels cheap and was obviously not the plan from the beginning. The only thing this movie has going for it is basically the nostalgia with in the first place shouldn't be a selling point. A movie should strive to create its own story, not rely on the greatness of the ones that came before it.
This movie is a perfect example of what happens when you don't have a clear roadmap of where you want to go and what you want to do and is a prime example of why you shouldn't split up three movies between two directors with entirely different visions.
In summary, everything I wrote above along with way more problems that I won't bring up made this movie the huge disappointment that it is.
