Well.. at least they can say that they tried..

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2019)

Here's the thing.. this movie has the action you would've thought but still having not real impact.. everyone is keep moving around planets with so many cuts and that made it feel so choppy, giving so much useless exposition that it felt so tiring and rushed, like they were trying to fit another movie into this one. There is fan service as you imagined but what's the point of that? To just say wow look at what they did there! At places it felt so cheap and unnecessary.
Also why is Palpatine here?? I think what they did was:
Studio: okay we need a villain for the 3rd star wars movie, it doesn't have to fit the previous two movies just something to give the world and excuse ourselves! Hey why don't we bring Palpatine back.. since snoke is dead now..that will make a lot more sense.. and more exciting why don't we make Rey his relative.. yeah just for the sake of it? Ohh and you know what else? Let's not explain to them nothing at all. So this can be a mystery.. not even the fact that there was jar of Snokes and Palpatine said that he created Snoke. My god it made sooo much sense!
That's how i think it went.. this is so sad.. it felt just so desperate.. some people say it's bold and game-changing.. where exactly you found the boldness to that? That they decide to give Rey god-like powers for the sake of having them? That she fights amd then teams-up with vader-solo-ren and then make out in the most forced make out scene i've seen in a while? (I literally cringed..) that they tried to make us believe that chewie was dead and 3-PO lost his memory but wait we can fix that too because we can't make our minds of what we really want out of this movie.. and oh my god that very last scene.. the my-name-is-Rey-skywalker scene.. i saw it coming from a planet far far away.. i could go on and on and on but that will just upset me even more so i'll just go to the positives. (Yes there are positives)
First of all it's visually breathtaking all those shots felt so beautiful to watch. All the star wars films have something to behold when it cames to spectacle! I just wish there was more meaning behind of all of these..
The cast once again does a wonderful just as the previous ones
So i guess there you have it.. a trilogy that ends up being so messy and confusing that it drugged down all the excitement i had back then when the force awakens came out. Even if that movie was not perfect (re-watched recently - holds up great - it could use a better story) it had that excitement level that meant something unlike this one.. even with the last jedi.. the fact that Rian Johnson gave us his vision and his choices i overall really liked that movie. That movie was bold yes and even if i did not like every single choice they made it was for me certainly better than force awakens.. but man.. after this movie.. even the last jedi fells kind of pointless.. like they were trying to patch up all the things that movie made..
I don't know how to rate this movie.. at first I thought a 6 was fare.. but the more i think about it the more disappointed i feel.. so maybe a 4,5-5 out of 10
Also my personal ranking of all the star wars films from worst to best:

The clone Wars
Solo
Attack of the Clones
Rise of Skywalker
Phantom Menace (sadly better than Rise)
Revenge of the Sith
Rogue One
Force Awakens
Last Jedi
Return of the Jedi
A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back (always)
