DOWNFALL OF SKYWALKER - Fulfill your Destiny Disney, Sell more toys :(

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2019)

I am a huge Star wars Fan, loving everything from movies, tv animated series so even being angry with this trilogy as a whole, can't be unfair and give a 1 score or take some of the merits of this movie.
The movie has good special effects, thought they were not very impressive. It has two or three good cameos. But the problem with this movie is that the characters are really week from the beggining of the trilogy till the end.
The Locations the heroes visit are very uninpired, being the Sith Planet of EXOGUL the worst. And the Space fights, and Lightsaber Duels were really lame.
The Plot is simple in the oppening credits, everyone including heroes and baddies learn that the emperor is alive, and go and try to find him. Kylo meets the emperor on the planet Exegol, and the emperor asks him to kill rey. On the other end Rey's Gang go on a mission to find a device called the wayfinder, to discover the emperors planet location. Rey and Kylo Fights in some locations, and in the end they fight the emperor and Win...the end.
From the very beggining of the movie it is revealed that emperor Palpatine was alive all this time, posing as Snoke. And snoke body is actrually clone controled by the emperor, and he poisoning Kylo Ren's mind the whole time. So Snokes Death in TLJ, was allowed by the emperor.
So JJ Abrahms, manages to try to make some damage control of the plot holes in The Last Jedi. But was he succefull? Not for me.
We see Leia training Rey, and a small Flashback of Leia training with luke, but does that explain Leia superpowers in TLJ? Not by a scratch.
They give a small Holdo Manuever explanation, in the form of a small joke saying its a 1000 to 1 manuever. So what JJ does in this movie, is that he adresses TLJ plot holes with small explanations that are not satisfying.
Is Luke Skywalker character saved in the movie? kind of... Luke even says that his actions were wrong in TLJ and that Rey should respect her lightsaber, punching himself in the face. But Mark Hammill has literally 5 lines of Dialogue in the movie, when in the TLJ he acted as Grumpy Old Bad all the movie it isn't enought for fans like me. I wanted to see a interection betwin Luke and the emperor.
We learn later that Rey is Palpatines Grandaughter, in a reminescent way of Empire Strikes Back, she even thinks in jumping into oblivion like Luke did, but here the scene is a lot less impactfull.
The Characters in this trilogy are really weak.
Rey is overpowered, just because of her lineage, in this movie she has the force unleashed powers to take down ships with the force, and unwillingly makes a force lightning without even learning how to do it in the first place??? WTF, just because shes is Palpatines Grandaughter she can do a force lightning? Vader never did one. And the Daisy Ridley acting is really bad. Leia was a much better women character than Rey, she was brave, Rey is whinning all the time.
Kylo Ren continues his redemption ark, but in the end he dies in a ridiculous way, giving his life for Rey, but doestn deserve to appear has a force ghost alongside Luke and Leia in Tatoine... Terrible writing. The only good scene was the one that Han Solo almost forgives Ben Solo for killing him, Ah ah ah. But believe me this Scene was the best scene in the movie, not kidding.
Leia appears in a few scenes, and dies in a strange way, in a scene with little emotion, you just really fell for chewie. General Hux, is the most useless character in the whole franchise now, even worse tahn Phasma, he gets killed by a lame General Pryde that replaced him as the 2 in command. Tarkin was a great commander this guys are just weaklings not menacing at all. Poe Dameron, continues to be a Han Solo wannabe, and just annoys me. Finn gets less Goffy this time and i liked him much more this time, and i say this bacause he was the character with better backstory (Ex Stormtrooper ashamed of what he did and wanting revenge of First Order). But what was what he wanted to tell Rey, throughout the movie? That he was in love with her of course.So what about Rose Tico? And Jannah now? PLOT HOLE, in TLJ looked like rose and finn would have a romance, here looks like he loves Rey again as in the Force Awakens.
Characters Crapped by JJ in this movie. Hux, has i already said. Max Kanata and Rose Tico now are just useless characters, that almost had no screentime and influence in the story. And JJ added another three useless characters for this movie Jannah, Zori Bliss and Beaumont. Why i ask? I would prefer more screentime for Lando Calrissian and the emperor and even Chewbacca.
Another Ridiculous thing is the Knights of Ren? You see them in the Desert all Badass, but they dont engage in battle. And we expect a backstory to them, you get none. Then they reapper in the end to fight Kylo Ren, and th saber fight was even worse than the Snoke throne room in TLJ, with the Red Guardians.
The plot quality during the movie is really weak, but the ending really killed it for me. Rey is the choosen one, and Anakin wasn't the balance of the force after all. He doesn't appear in this movie in any form, and he should in the end when Rey confronts the emperor with kylo ren. The Last 20 minutes of the movie are the worst part of the movie for me. The space battle is underwellming, Knights of Ren Duel with Kylo is a joke, Rey fight with the emperor is a small Force Lightining Scene, where she repels Palpatine Force Lightning to himself Desintigrating him in the process (Terrible CGI by the way). Rey dies from the backlash of the force lightining, Kylo Ren comes back from a pit, revives Rey kisses her and dies like Luke did in TLJ, giving is lifeforce to rey, he disapears and dies. Then a party in the galaxy, we see Cloud City, Ewoks, and a few other planets. Then after that we see Rey going to tatoine to lukes old house, calling herself Rey Skywalker (Ugh), and looking at leia ans luke force ghosts but not Ben Solo.
Now my overall STAR WARS movies scores.
Empire Strikes Back 9.5, Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One 9, A New Hope and a Return of the Jedi both 8.5, Attack of the Clonesand Solo 7.5, The Phantom Menace and The Force Awakens a 7, The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker a 6. So the three last trilogy movies are the worst of the whole franchise. If this trilogy was the first to appear in the theaters in the seventies, ir would't had the sucess it has now. But Disney, if you want to improve, sign Jon Favreau or Christopher Nolan to do the Knights of the Old Republic Trilogy, and if you folow the videogames source material, it will be the most Epic Star Wars trilogy of all time. Favreau is making a real good Star Wars story with the Mandalorian, and Nolan is the best director and script writer nowadays.
I am Sad i wanted the Epic endingof the Skywalker Saga, instead we got a movie with uninteresting characters and uninspired plot. I know its not just JJ Abrahms fault, Because Rian Johnson did a terrible job, but the execution of this movie is really bad. Why dont you hear the fans? We had so great ideas for this movie. Another thing is the movie plot was leaked 3 months ago, and it was 100% right, don't you learn from your mistakes? The name of the movie should have been THE DOWNFALL OF SKYWALKER score 6
