"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper." -- T.S. Eliot

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2019)

Maybe an unpopular opinion but this trilogy should have been a tetralogy instead.
This movie really has TOO much crammed into it, ruining the pacing and satisfaction that you want in a Star Wars movie, and eliminating all of the value that usually comes along with the natural resolution to story tropes.
The only scenes I enjoyed were those with Kylo Ren... but then they decided to throw away his character in the end instead of giving him a satisfactory resolution. He is literally TOSSED ASIDE in the end, as an added insult to ruining his character arc.
It's a movie. With a budget of 250-300 million and a competent director, there was no way this movie was gonna be awful. But considering what it was supposed to be and the fact that it bore the burden of carrying the legacy of such a popular series to a close, it is utterly disappointing.
See you in a decade when they release another trilogy.
