Utter disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (22 December 2019)

I had no preconceived ideas about this film. I hadn't seen any reviews or spoken to anyone who had seen it.
It was so disappointing. The storyline just made absolutely no sense. Palpatine has risen from the grave but with absolutely no inkling in any other movie? Rey, is inexplicably his granddaughter even though there has never been any reference in any other movie about him having children?
And like every other Star Wars film scenes just lurch from one to the other. One moment they're retrieving some plans from a spy, the next moment they've been hunted down and captured. And when the spy is revealed, his sole motivation is "I just don't like Kylo Ren". Even though he spent the previous two movies trying to kill as many billions of people as possible?
And don't get me started on the final battle. Palpatine has somehow amassed an armada of thousands of ships, millions of crew and millions of troops on a planet that nobody knows how to find??? And then the rebels turn up in their rag tag fleet of ships and manage to destroy every single ship because for some insane reason they cannot leave the surface because "they don't know which way is up" without the help of a totally unshielded and undefended navigation array?
Utterly, utterly ridiculous.
