Too much focus on fan service instead of story

Rating: 4/10 (20 December 2019)

There's an equal amount of good and bad qualities in this movie. However, it's another one of those Star Wars movies that focus more on fan service than telling an engaging or emotional story. Not the worst Star Wars movie, but it is the most underwhelming of the core saga. Half of it was retconning parts of The Last Jedi for damage control to please the fanbase that hated it, and the other half was explaining the convoluted plot. In the end it feels like a 4 hour movie edited down to 2. Character arcs either have half resolutions, or no resolutions to them. The potential was set up to be paid off in a meaningful way, but ended up as wasted potential in the end.
