The conclusion of a trilogy with no direction

Rating: 5/10 (18 March 2020)

Rise of Skywalker's is an improvement from the last dumpster fire I guess, so I'm trying to be nice here with my rating. But this movie only seemed to prove that Disney had absolutely no sense of direction with this trilogy, which is inexcusable to me. Like what the hell?!? Bringing back Palpatine felt desperate and not adequately explained. His death in Return of the Jedi was the redeeming act of Anakin Skywalker's story arc. Why diminish the significance in any way the actions of one of the greatest characters of all time? I find these little details frustrating because Star Wars has so much potential when it comes to storytelling. There's no excuse for this!
