It's been emotional SPOILERS

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2020)

Cards on the table: I think the sequel trilogy sucks donkey's. TFA is a lazy boring retread of ANH. TLJ is a very strange film riddled with: plot-holes, baffling character motivations, lore-breaking, terrible 'jokes'; and it holds a giant middle-finger up to a bulk of the fans. There was almost no way the final installment could be any good and so it proved. TROS is a poorly paced cluster that makes little to no sense. The pace of the film is so dizzying that I challenge anyone who has only seen the film once to recount the plot. About half the film is a tedious coupon chase that a video-game story-teller would be ashamed of. The other half seems to be obsessed with retcon-ing TLJ and the story told by episodes 1-6. There were at least 4 fake-out deaths - the laziness is strong in this one. I've given the film 5/10 because there were a few things I liked (e.g. it's very pretty). I'm gonna need to watch it again at least once (preferably on 3/4 speed) to decide how hate-able it is.
