A Different Kind of Star Wars

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2019)

To be fair, I wasn't a fan of the other two parts of this trilogy and didn't expect much from this. There were two scenes that I enjoyed, but they fell flat compared to the overall aesthetic of the film.
The main issues I have with this episode are the unexplained meta knowledge that every character seemed to possess, the lack of transition in the main quest, and the heavy plot armor that was so apparent it didn't feel as if there was any danger to the characters or the Resistance.
It felt like a group project where everyone's portion had to be over the top and nothing flowed together. The most insignificant details seemed as if the writers wanted you to feel some extreme emotion or attachment. This left me feeling bored and uninterested fairly quickly. Overall, every moment seemed forced and too much. Even the "big reveal" was far-fetched.
I'm just happy this trainwreck of a trilogy is over. Time to go back and enjoy the rest of the Star Wars saga.
