Have a plan, stick to the the plan

Rating: 5/10 (5 January 2020)

This review is for the movie and the recent trilogy, as this movie caps off the trilogy. Basically, the trilogy as a whole is very disjointed and inconsistent. There are several threads not tied off, and several weird plot holes that don't make any sense. Disney should have had a better plan here and should have stuck to the plan. I just hope that future movies have some better controls for their plans.
As for the movie itself, it was okay. Not great, not terrible, just okay. I am a long time fan of all things star wars, so I liked the "star wars-y" stuff (lightsaber fights, space battles and uses of the force). However, as a movie the pacing is WAY too fast, and they are trying to cram WAY too much content into 2.5 hours. This should have been a 3.5 hour movie for the amount of content to cover, or just cut some content. A big "fetch quest" and a whole lot of obvious "well that was convenient". Introducing some new characters for the sake of characters and not developing the current trilogy cast very much. This one was like Last Jedi to me, unremarkable. But, Last Jedi had a lot more severe plot and character problems. This one and Last Jedi go down as some of my least favorite. With my favorites still being: Rogue One, Force Awakens and Return of the Jedi. Go ahead and see it in the theater, and keep supporting Star Wars, I think Disney will learn from this first go at a trilogy.
