Critics are WAY too critical, AMAZING ending for an AMAZING series!

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2019)

As a HUGE fan of the Star Wars Universe ever since I was a child, these movies have a sweet spot in my heart.
I think The Rise Of Skywalker is an AMAZING ending to an AMAZING series. I found my self jaw dropped, emotional, excited, laughing, crying, on the edge of my seat, I loved the fight against good and evil, the secret relatives, the rise of the hero and I'm going to say it, the NOSTALGIA. It brought a stronger and deeper connected between the old movies and the new series that was so beautiful.
Like how the fight scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan in Revenge of The Sith paralleled between the fight scene between Rey and Kylo Ren. Where the lava represented death and the water represented life and in Revenge of The Sith, Anakin is finally turned to the dark side, but whereas in Rise, Kylo Ren is finally turned to the good side. I could name 20 more beautiful parallels and nostalgic scenes, but you get the point!
Just think, what would Star Wars be without those attributes? That is what makes Star Wars, Star Wars. So for critics to say there is too much nostalgia, or too much resemblance between the older movies is like saying there is too much Star Wars in the STAR WARS movie!!
Not only was the movie emotional In so many levels, it was cinematically stunning!! When you look at a movie from a filmmaking perspective, the amount of people and work it took to create something as beautiful as that deserves a 5 star review ALONE! And no highly judgmental critic can fight against that.
The redemption of Kylo Ren was by far the most powerful part of the whole movie and frankly, the whole series. Throughout the movies, Ben is just a young boy, fighting the demons inside his head. The amount of pain and suffering that you see Ben go through then to FINALLY see him free of it and turn into a loving and self sacrificing man deserves another 5 stars ALONE! His story is inspiring, moving and so FREAKING EMOTIONAL! It shows you that it's never too late and we all have the strength to fight against the evil inside of us.
Sure, I do have a couple complaints against the movie, but they are only complaints because I wished for them to happen, like how I wish we saw a scene of Lando Calrision seeing Lea before she died. I feel like that scene was very much needed. But it does look like Lando was able to see her, because he was already there when Po came back to the planet and talked to Lando. So inside, I like to believe he did, but still, I wish that scene was in the movie. Maybe its in the deleted scenes, who knows..
AND I wish in the last scene, when Rey sees Lea and Luke as ghosts, I truly wish she saw all of the past Jedi's or at least the main ones, like Yoda, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ben as well. I feel like that would have been the perfect ending, since she is connected to them all. But these are just things I wish that were in the film, and like Abrams said, you cant please everyone, especially in a finale and you shouldn't even try when making a film. And for that, I understand and respect Abrams and Rian for taking the journey to even give us this new series. We should accept what was given, not just so we can be at peace, but so we can truly admire and love the story for what it is and not what it isn't.
ALSO!!! I would like to point out how I think that the movie is called "Rise Of Skywalker" not only talking about the rise of Rey Skywalker but also talking about the rise of Ben Skywalker!! Yes, Ben's last name is Solo but his mother, Lea is Skywalker, so in my opinion, Ben is the true Rise of Skywalker since he rises to the good side and is finally free of evil in the end!!!
And its the huge connections and deep meanings like this that make this movie get 5 stars. The beauty, power, emotion and hope of this movie outweighs all of the stupid critics who are just too judgmental.
