Did they have a plan? Maybe

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2020)

There's not much about this movie that hasn't already said elsewhere and better: it backtracks, it's bloated with plot contrivances, it makes makes no thematic sense as a trilogy, it is somehow full of fan service and ruins the canon at the same time.
We all know that The Force lets you hand wave large parts of your plot, but it's gotten out of control. Need long dead villains who ended in a satisfying arc to return? Need you characters to find another maguffin? Need them to move to the right place for the next big action sequence for no reason? "The Force"
If you can accept that your favorite childhood movie is being written at the level of your worst childhood tv show, you'll love it. It just boggles the mind how the company that showed us that kids movies could strike deep emotional chords for all ages with Pixar, them showed us that vast interconnected movie universes could tell a larger story with Marvel, managed to produce such a mess.
