Overall, its okay

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2019)

Well it was what I heard it was going to be: fan service. That act of caving in is what ultimately failed this movie. Yes, Star Wars fans love it, however that means nothing to me other than people whined and complained to get their way because they weren't getting it before.
As a whole, it was just alright. The CGI was great, the action was mostly fun, but the writing was mediocre and the movie was just all over the place, which is something Star Wars fans like I guess? This could have been a much better finale to a great saga, following two movies that, in my opinion, are some of the best in the entire series. Say what you want about TLJ, that film was spectacular, shocking and intense. Rise of Skywalker had intense moments, but was ultimately ruined because of fan service sequences generated by awful, childish fans. I wanted to love this film, I really did, but it was messy and cliche, and is easily one of the worst films in the franchise by far.
It is still a good goodbye, but it is a moderately unsatisfying conclusion to such a fantastic franchise.
