A decent recovery after a disastrous part-2

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2019)

Whether this Star Wars trilogy is your first, or your third, this movie needed to be good, to give a chance of a dignified end to the amazing journey that began in 1977. Part-1 was brilliant, fresh. Part-2 in trilogies always disappoint, but Disney's overreach for inclusion and political correctness destroyed the movie. Only the employment of 1m bots saved the IMDB rating. No human rated it above a 3/10 (I gave it 1/10). And so, for this finale. I almost didn't watch it after the shocking part-2, but I'm glad I did. My daughter gave it a 7/10. There were few surprises, and these were good. The ending is akin to GoT, and decently done. This movie gives hard core Star Wars fans enough to walk away feeling that George Lucas' efforts were respected, if not uplifted. A perfect movie for the Holiday/Christmas season.
