Not terrible, not great.

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2019)

So, there was Star Wars number 9.
Not impressive, not memorable, not terrible either. The series wasn't killed with an awful ending, like Games of Thrones, but it was left to rest on her former glory. Just like Star Wars number 7 and 8, the 9th was a tribute to the past, to the former glory.
The censorship and Disney's wise men guidance could be felt in any dialogue and twist of the plot. The lasts were exceptionally tiresome and predictable. I liked the Sith world and their Armada that was supposed to whip out the Resistance fighters. It amused me how the mightiest fleet of the galaxy ended up destroyed by lack of elementary safety features like redundant guiding antennas. The countless script logic flows make it less disturbing.
What buttered me most was the lack of good storytelling. Every crew member acted like they were there for a 9 to 5 job, and the director was just a name on the screen. It will never be remembered as J.J. Abrams Star Wars but rather like Disney's SW9. The same can be said about Carrie Fisher and Adam Driver. They are the most meretricious antagonistic couple in the history of the series.
But in the end, it's Star Wars, not Dune. I think it's my fault that I aspected more.
