Thank the Force it's over!

Rating: 4/10 (12 January 2020)

If you just like anything with big yellow writing at the beginning, or you like bright swords that make 'zum, zum' sounds, then you'll probably like this movie. Those who are Star Wars fans though should really be offended with how poor this movie is. It seems rushed, like they had to pack too much in and throw in characters just for merchandise reasons. The ending is absolutely stupid with the Emperor who is back killing himself by shooting electricity at 2 lightsabers, cos one couldnt hack it. Instead of just stopping he burns up. Then follows the most awkward on screen kiss going! Other things that annoy is the apparent death of Chewie as Rey blows up a transport with her force lightning powers because guess what shes a Palpatine, and Chewie is onboard. Fake out, hes not because apparently there was 2 transports, despite us only seeing one take off. In 5 mins Lando can summon a whole load of people to fight the first order despite everybody having lost hope in the Last Jedi. The Resistance celebrates the war ending after the Emperors fleet is defeated, despite the First Order still very much being out there and having a huge fleet and an army that can control the galaxy still. But hey the won against a threat that wasnt even apparent until the beginning of this movie so yay! The force can now teleport things and you can fight with someone in different locations, rip necklaces off people on different planets. The knights of Ren are awful and dont even speak, they instantly betray Kylo Wren when he goes good at the end, despite never even meeting the Emperor. Hux, yes arguably one of the main villains of the past 2 movies, the man who command Star Killer Base dies in the most ridiculous way ever. Totally undersells the character. All the Emperors Star Destroyers have planet killing lasers on them, but if you shoot the laser which is easily done it blows up the whole ship. Major design flaw there. These Star Destroyers were made under ice too and break through the ice to rise. Wouldn't this damage them? Also it appears they dont have any shielding. This is just a few of the stupid things in the Rise of Skywalker. There are so many more. Reason I gave it a 4? Some good acting from time to time and Fin and Poes bromance is infectious and fun.
