Confusing

Rating: 4/10 (20 December 2019)

*spoilers---Overall this movie was decent. It moves almost too quickly and lacks much needed pauses in between all the action. There's a lot going on in a short amount of time. Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver's acting has been the best part of this entire trilogy, and it continues in this movie without a doubt. Their character's relationship is the only thing grounding and giving this story emotion and meaning. That being said, JJ royally screws over Ben Solo. He receives redemption, finally is happy with Rey and they get what looks like is going to be a happy life together. His dies in like 2 seconds, disappears, and Rey doesn't even mourn/act sad before the scene cuts to the Rebels partying and then Ben is never mentioned again. Like what?? He gave his life to Rey, they kiss, and he dies and she just goes on like nothing ever happened. Their relationship has been central to this trilogy and that's how it's ended? She doesn't even cry. Just jumps in the x-wing and leaves. JJ finishes off the saga with all the Skywalkers dead and Rey all alone. That makes no sense.
