A Welcome Correction Course

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2019)

I'm reviewing TROS after having seen it for a second time. After having watched The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi (which I severely disliked and rated a 5) this is probably the best result of the movie we could have got. Due to having different directors and writers, this trilogy as a whole feels largely disjointed and the story is uneven.
TROS certainly does feel like two movies crammed into one and I understand that the story of Star Wars is supposed to be a trilogy but would it have hurt to have made this into both Episode IX and Episode X? That worked out fine with Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame. I'll give this movie an 8/10. It's not the best Star Wars movie but it is a good reversal of several things that happened in TLJ. I have to credit JJ Abrams for being able to restore my hope in Disney's ownership of Star Wars.
