Good, but not like the originals.

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2019)

I saw the reviews a day before I went to watch it, and I was honestly surprised to see this movie ending up with a second-to-last rating. How could that be?
In every new movie (7, 8, 9) there have been some plotholes as well as weird storytelling. What angerred me about TFA was that the second half was extremely rushed. This traits I've seen in this movie. Beginning was great, but after all the shockers were delivered (Hux is a spy, Rey is a Palpatine etc), it began to be rushed again. The tempo went from intermediate to really fast.
Suddenly, Rey has had enough, goes to the wreckage on Endor, lands on Luke's Island, then magically rushes to meet her fate with the emperor and, oh, that goes quickly!
It didn't seem honest, and I felt, just as I felt watching TFA, that it was a remake of the original trilogy. Nearly everything in the second half was adapted from Return of the Jedi. You could almost feel J.J.'s obsession with the original trilogy, up to a point where it didn't feel original.
I also noticed that a lot of dialogue was recycled material from TFA, as well as a lot of important scenes, which actually lead nowhere.
I give this a 6/10, because the second half takes away a lot of originality.
Probably what annoyed me the most was Disney's forced garbage, like oh look they're gay, oh look, this character represents a minority so they should speak unnescessary for a minute. It doesn't matter, it isn't important to the story, so stop forcing it...
I wouldn't say this movie was bad, it just had a lot of smaller things that kept annoying me throughout the movie, soo yea, ergo 6/10.
