Leave your "but why??!?" at home

Rating: 5/10 (10 February 2020)

Finally got around to watching episode 9 and I had mixed feelings about it. Half of the movie I was biting my tongue, but screaming "but why??!?" at the screen. A quarter of the movie was humorous and we'll deserved jabs at The Last Jedi. And the last quarter I was appreciating a decent movie.
Visuals are absolutely breathtaking and completely robbed of their glory by the poorly-planned and half-sensical plot.
The movie comes together well enough, and in spite of the plot short-comings of itself and the Last Jedi, it was on the whole mostly enjoyable and reasonably satisfactory.
I am NOT happy with the sequel trilogy as a whole and the damage it has done to the IP of Star Wars, it's fans, and it's actors, this movie did better than I would have expected considering J.J. Abrams Directed and the micromanaging of Disney/Lucas Film.
