Completely unoriginal and lacking any coherence

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2019)

First of all, what the hell is going on with this trilogy? The stories are not even vaguely connected. Entire scenes can be ignored and it wouldn't make any difference.
Palpatine: A man who was so powerful AND intelligent, single-handedly managed to prop an entire empire by manipulating all the strings, right under the nose of the Jedi council and the most powerful Jedis and who managed to turn Anakin into Vader by sheer manipulation is somehow destroyed just like that by Mary Sue Rey. There is a reason why the original trilogy worked. It showed that when facing insurmountable odds and might, if people truly work together, such odds may be defeated. People who weren't even that Force sensitive had their contribution. Like Han Solo or Lando. Vader wasn't enough to take down palpatine on his own. Luke was not either. Obi-wan couldn't. All the jedis couldn't. But somehow Rey was above all of them and was able to defeat palpyboy pronto. And to justify this ridiculous plot full of Mary Sue-ness, they made her his granddaughter.
Unprecedented pooping on a franchise.
2 stars for all the staff / designers / fx guys who managed to string together this incoherent mess into a movie with good effects.
