Star Wars: Rise of Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2020)

I really didn't have many expectations going into this and I was still pretty disappointed. From the opening title crawl all the way to the end, many of the decisions made throughout the final chapter of the Skywalker Saga were very cringe and confusing. My biggest complaint was the fact that Palpatine is just randomly back with no explanation and we're just forced to accept that. His plan was also extremely convoluted with bringing in Kylo, just to bring in Rey so that she could kill him and possess her body. Even though he tempted Rey to kill him, which is exactly what she ends up doing, but now Palpatine is DEAD dead like ???? Shouldn't Rey be possessed now??Some other problems I had was that the movie was just way too quick with trying to fix the Last Jedi as well as stick with the plot. The runtime should've been much longer in order to make the story better and make a little more sense. And Rey Skywalker?! What a disrespectful move by Rey. If she can just take that family name by saying so then I guess anyone in the universe is a Skywalker. Talk about the plot holes too! We still don't know who the Knights of Ren are, force healing was a thing all along, and everything about Palpatine. I did like a few things such as Luke and Han showing up and doing what they did, the voices of the past Jedi, and seeing Palpatine revert back to his less zombie looking self. Overall, this movie was quite a mess and a very disappointing end to such a great franchise.
