Stop, stop, it's already dead

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2019)

I am not your typical hater. After being disappointed by the reappearance of the original cast - after such hype they were horribly underserved - I immediately fell for Rey and Kylo Ren and so a huge fan of The Force Awakens.
The Last Jedi contained for me some of the finest Star Wars moments of all, especially Luke and Yoda (oh dear Yoda, a puppet of the quality of the original movies, does it get any better?) luke's adult petulance was wonderful, and i had no problem with where it took this arc. My only regret is they should have made Ben's story the other main arc, played out in flashback but chronological order, it was too powerful to be given lip service
So. i loved the JJ safe approach, and I loved most of Rian Johnson's brave approach. How to approach Rise of Skywalker?
The honest truth is, this is Disney making Frozen 2. The abysmal editing, the appallingly stupid dialogue, the simply unforgivable inclusion of Carrie Fisher cast offs had me chewing my fingers in embarrassment.
I felt nothing watching this film. Not even boredom. Just a sense of nothingness. At the end I just stared at the credits.
Unpopular a view that it is, I simply hated Rogue One, but even that had a couple of good scenes, when it ended I knew I would never watch it again. And that is exactly how I feel about this pitiful excuse for a movie. Everything we feared from Disney.
