The Worst Star Wars Film Of The Saga... (Rant!!)

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2019)

This film is the worst star wars film out of the 9 films of the saga...
The are many reasons to why I think this and here our some fo the reasons... (Contains Spoilers)

The story feels like badly written fan-fiction

The story makes the perfect ending of return of the jedi and Vader/Anakins arc almost meaningless.

The Emperor was almost like a different character. He wouldnt care for what the other sith want and he wouldnt want to die. He would want to manipulate Rey to give him power not want Rey to take his power.

To add to to that the Emperor has no true plan or motivation he feels like a weak villain in this film and kinda dumb.

There are a tone of plot holes throught the film...

How the emperor survived?

How did that alien lady (forgotten name) find anakins lightsabre? (She never says)

What was Finn gonna say to Rey?

If Snoke was created by the emperor then why did snoke try to get Kylo to kill rey?! (Like no ones mentioned this just seriously wtf, proves how this story had no plan)

Whats with lando and the young lady at the end in that odd scene?

This list goes on and on...
Like I actually didnt mind the last two films for what they were but I thought they werent great star wars films and this film isnt only a bad star wars film but a bad film in general. Like it's so average.
This film makes no sense with all its plot holes and unusual moments and character motivations all over the place. They try to make it all big and Epic but it fails miserably and falls flat in so many ways like I've just said...
But there are some good ideas and moments in this film with some generally great moments too.
For example...

The way they handled leia was good considering the tragic passing of Carrie Fisher (May She Rest in Peace)

The scene with force ghost luke was a very cool and memorable scene. With great subtlety.

The visuals and sets.

Kylos arc and scenes were fantastic

Rey was brilliantly acted by Daisy Ridley and had some generally compelling moments

-the cast in general had great acting despite not much for them to do

Some really funny moments in the film (Babu Frik)

Some good fan service that wasn't on the nose (Chewys medal and Luke's X-Wing scenes)

C3PO was actually fantastic the best since the original trliogy (shame it's in an average film thou)

General Pryde (amazingly acted by Richard E. Grant) was an intimidating antagonist. The most intimidating since Grand Moth Tarkin I'd argue due to there not being any intimidating Officers since Tarkin, it's nice to have a evil Officer again. But unfortunately General Pryde was underesed.

The ending shot was cool

The soundtrack by John Willaims was great ofcourse (Even though I wish there where some more new scores)

But these are mostly niche positives and the biggest praise goes to the the ideas and subtle moments and kylos arc.
Theres some very backwards messeges and shallow ones in the films too that completely condescend what they were going for. For example Leia tells rey to never be afraid of who you are and it's like a big messege for rey in this film and shes meant to be a Palpatine and at the end of the film a old lady asks who her name is and she says "Rey, Rey-Skywalker". Which just ruins the whole messege of the film with Rey she should have Said Rey Palpatine it would have alot more depth and meaning to the story and make it less shallow.
Also the film should not be called rise of Skywalker more like the fall of Skywalker because Kylo dies and that's the end of the Skywalker lineage.
I could go on and on why I dislike this movie. But yeah overal a huge disappointment these films just dknt even work as a trilogy and infact rise of Skywalker has made the force awakens almost pointless to watch and the last jedi because any interesting ideas from those films have been ruined. And it ruins the prequel and original trilogy. And even the sequel films so yeah... I think I've got my reasons for disliking this movie alot. Just so average it hurts watching it and I wanted it too end quicker. The worst part is I felt nothing in this film and that's never happend for me in a star wars movie. And this didnt feel like a star wars movie... Just watch George Lucas's 6 film saga. They're just so much better and the films for me ended with return of the jedi...
(My film opinion may change over time but thank you for reading my review!!)
