It was good, but was it necessary?

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2019)

First things first. Let us talk about the movie itself, without taking into consideration the big title "Star Wars".
The movie begins with a slow rhythm. The first 30 minutes or so feel slow and maybe sleepy. Maybe it is the editing that makes it sort off boring. The editing in the first part of the movie feels odd. Weird cuts and transitions make the movie feel fast and at the same time slow. What do I mean? Simple. The story is slow, but weird cuts make it jump fast from one thing to another. So it is a story being told by several turtles. One second you are watching Ren doing some fancy stuff and the other second you are watching Rey doing some other fancy stuff.
But then, the movie gathers some power and becomes exiting. Once everything starts to fail for the Resistance, the movie begins to grow, and it ends with an epic climax. Basically, the movie is a crescendo, it starts with a low quiet sound, and it ends with such a powerful sound.
Speaking of which, the score of the movie is simply magnificent. John Williams is an amazing composer. The score of the movie makes it feel like you are watching a film from the old 80s. There is this scene in the movie where Ren and Rey are fighting in the Death Star, and the score makes it feel so epic. But again, what can you expect from such a master musician.
Now, let us talk about the plot of the movie, shall we? And solely from the movie, and not taking into consideration the Star Wars Saga. As I stated before, the movie feels like a crescendo. This translates into the plot, of course. The plot starts slowly, and if you have no idea about the Star Wars Saga, then you might not have any idea about what is happening at the beginning. Then the plot begins to be more interesting. But the thing is, it is a vague plot. What do I mean by this? Yes, of course the plot is good, and gets better within every minute that passes in the movie. But it is predictable. You know one of the swords will be for Kylo Ren at the end of the movie. You know that Kylo would be a good guy at the end of the story. You know that Chewy was alive after the big fight. There are no big surprises in the movie. The only mayor surprise is that Rey is a Palpatine. But, is it really a surprise? This is where the movie fails: plot.
Now, let us take into consideration the name. Star Wars. It was a good ending. It fits perfectly into the Star Wars Saga. It does not disappoint an average Star Wars Fan. But, was it really necessary? I mean, was this new trilogy really necessary? It is not a bad trilogy, I am not saying that, but, was it substantial for the whole saga? If we remove movies 7, 8 and 9, you can perfectly understand the saga. They really do not add anything to the original trilogy. Some might debate 1,2 and 3 do not as well add anything. But they are more related to the original saga. They follow the storyline. But the only thing that the last trilogy grabs from the original trilogy is the name of the characters. That´s it.
Let's talk about the failure of the saga overall. I do not consider the saga as a complete mess as everyone does, but, as I stated, it was unnecessary. But why did it fail? Circumstances. Disney. Death. Twenty first century. You know what I am talking about.
In conclusion, it is a good movie, it has amazing effects and an amazing score. Maybe the plot lacks power, but it fits the Saga, and it is not bad overall; it is enjoyable. Now, placing the movie in the Saga, was it necessary?

PD. Palpatine: "I am all of the Siths". Rey: "And I am...
Ironman, I mean, all of the Jedis".
Really, Disney?
I really felt the Endgame vibes at the end there, but well, Disney´s formula.
