No emotion.

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2019)

Overall, this is a bad ending to a great franchise. There's zero character development, there's no feeling for the main characters of the film, and Rey is simply too perfect for having little to no training. I could write an article on why this film and the last two are terrible, but I won't. (The Force Awakens was okay, but it's the development of the characters afterward is plain awful.) In "The Rise of Skywalker, " there were too many "WTF?" moments. Not good "WTF" moments, but bad ones.
Without giving in spoilers - I'll just say: too many new characters were introduced that shouldn't have played a part, and I can go on record by saying Finn is the most useless character in the history of Star Wars.
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but my mind is completely blown by how bad Rey, Poe, and Finn are as main characters. I felt nothing for them. And they faced zero adversity. Nothing was explained, not many questions were answered, and the whole film was extremely rushed.
My initial reaction after the film was: I would've rather sat and watched a great four-hour film, rather than have watched a poorly made two-hour film.
And yes, "The Rise of Skywalker" is that, poorly made.
Can we just make another new trilogy with different directors and characters? Just pretend the last three never existed? I truly think Disney should consider that. We need films that follow Star Wars canon.
