The ending to the wrong trilogy

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2019)

The Rise of Skywalker drops a narrative bombshell in the opening that was not built up to at all in the previous two films.
The plot is one of the more confused of the Star Wars series and tries to tell too much story in one film. The writers and producers could have done much better with pacing the trilogy.
It felt like there is a movie missing between the previous film (The Last Jedi) and this one (The Rise of Skywalker).
The final outcome of the movie (and saga?) is not unexpected and disappoints by its lack of originality.
The large CGI budget kept me in my seat despite rolling my eyes a few times at the plot.
