Potential purposefully thrown away.

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2019)

To say that upfront I HAVE a lot of positive things to say about previous Disney EPISODIC entries.
This should had been the movie that would engrave the sequel trilogy as well-made one, the one that respected all that came before and stood on its own, but it doesn't do any of that. Instead, it became THE WORST Star Wars movie that spits on its predecesors for story convenience, which is for the most part an unsensical fan catering, zero intelligence garbage with no sense of pacing, rhythm or even emotion really. Half-way through, after a certain reveal it brings this anxious dread evoking the worst possible story progression one could ever think of and it happens to be stronger and stronger while the movie rushes to the finish line. Leaving you with no emotion, only apathy.
When internet fandom split into two separate camps (one more vocal than the other), after TLJ premier, something miraculous had happened. Disney or JJ with Terrio somehow thought it would be a marvelous idea to retcon any story progression from the previous movie, ignore fans who defended TLJ for two long years and try to appease fans who hated it. Ultimately, no one likes this movie, because it is far from being one. Desperate and safe attempt for damage control effectively erasing this sequel trilogy from canon.
