The end of something that could have been great

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2019)

It's the end of a trilogy but it feels like this movie should restart it all and begin from here. The whole first arc is a setup for a whole new story different from what we've had in the last two movies, a new galactic threat is here, and feels like everything bad from the first two movies should be forgotten.
Of course not everything is bad in this movie since J.J. finally understood the fans don't care about the whole subverting expectations and instead gives the fans lots and lots of fanservice.
Fans should enjoy this movie even though it makes no sense from time to time. Deserved ending? Sure, but a messy one. The saga ends in a way fitting of a Star Wars movie despite the changes the last two made in the storyline.
Critic score: 3/10
Fan score: 7/10
