Everything felt rushed.

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2019)

This film just didn't deliver the answers or the explanations that it needed to. Just saying "I fell" and "I was behind everthing" doesn't satisfy why things happened. I'm not going to even get into the ridiculousness of that fleets massive size, the fact that all those ships were built by whom. Furthermore, who crewed them?
We seen legions of past Sith Lord's in the temple, but it would have been insane to actually see individual Sith Lords like Exar Kun, Revan, Bane, all channeling their strength into Palpatine. Conversely, why do we get to see like 200k Sith Lords, but only ghost Luke helps Rey? If she represents the last of the Jedi, why couldn't we see Yoda, Anakin, Qui Gon, Obi-Wan or some of the past Jedi Masters?
Why does Palpatine have to be hooked to the Hellraiser 2 Dr. Channard-looking apparatus? If he is all powerful, he should have had an insane duel. Palpatine was supposedly the best Sith duelist of all time... Why not get down and dispatch a newbie with ease.
It's tragic how they fail to respect years of training and knowledge passed down from masters to apprentices. Somehow, these few Jedi characters are so strong that they just happen to know all the force techniques with no instruction. Ancient Sith went to Academies where they practiced dueling and force mastery for YEARS, as did Jedi padawans. Obi-Wan and Anakin both lost in a duel to Dooku but Rey, the short timer can beat Palpatine, Dooku's far superior Master?
Only two Sith Way-finders (holocrons) exist, and one is just sitting in the second death stars throne room? Nobody went and pillaged that place? If the Emporer lived, he would have sent someone to retrieve it.... Was Snoke a modified Emporer clone?
Why did Palpatine continue to use the Sith Lightning on Rey when she was blocking it with the Saber? We saw that already with Windu and the Emperor should have remembered how weak that made him.
I don't really understand Finn's purpose in the entire arc. He is basically, just there and kinda helping. They invented absurd events to give him meaning, but sneaking on Snoke's command ship?
I love Star Wars. I have since the first time I seen it in '84. They really messed up throwing out all the cannon stories and then rushing stuff out with inferior plots. We had super fan authors creating content for decades that was so integrated that all were seamless in the overall story. Would have much rather seen the Black Fleet with Grand Admiral Thrawn, Admiral Daala's Maw Fleet, or the Yuuzhan Vong. This movie felt like a cheap version of Return of the Jedi. Single Jedi, somehow trained and ready to go, has to face the Emporer. Ground team clears the way for the ragtag fleet to attack and defeat a far superior unbeatable fleet. Dark Sith redemption and return to the light side. I mean they copied the entire plot. They even threw in Lando piloting the Falcon straight out of the movie! Disappointed. I just hope they continue with different stories that they can't mess up. Solo was good as was Rogue 1. Mandalorian is must see so far.
