Felt like a trilogy poorly stuffed into one movie

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2019)

Here is writer Chris Terrio ""Of course we hear the reaction of fans, but the objective of this movie wasn't to amalgamate all the fan opinions and then take a vote on what should happen. It was to go in a direction that J.J. thought could come to a really surprising and satisfying ending.""
The ending was neither of those. Movies always have plot holes, it happens. But this entire movie is one gigantic plot hole. Spoilers ahead:
Palpatine comes back from a force ability, and wants to transfer his spirit into Rey so he can continue on living and her be the Empress. Problems arise, when Kylo came in and wanted to kill him, which Palpatine could have done and then lived on in a fully dark side Kylo, with a massive fleet. But no, he wants Kylo to kill Rey? But he secretly knew he wouldnt, so that they would both come back to the secret planet and he could then have Rey kill him? But because they become a dyad he drains power and is back to his full strength and know wants to kill Rey, who then kills him which is what he wanted at the beginning of the movie and he then becomes a part of her spirit? I dont know, the whole thing was very poorly written and played out. End spoilers
I honestly think they tried to do a trilogy in the span of a film to try and salvage the wreck that had become this trilogy. There were some good parts, and I think if they were given 3 films to bring about the twists, they could flush the story a little more to where its not so rushed and poor. That said, they did make the best of the 3 newest, and I felt were truest to what I feel the characters would have become. But theres just too much to really overlook, it in an essence was missing the Star Wars charm, a lot of the new characters fell flat, Kylo was superior to Rey in story form, and you felt more of a connection with his character than hers. Daisy Ridley was great, but the writing really let her character down. Slightly below average but worth a watch if your a Star Wars fan, it just never felt as immersive as it should.
