A what if remains

Rating: 3/10 (28 December 2019)

The story seems promising, the start of the film shows action and beautiful pictures, but what happens during the course of the film is a disaster. I imagine the idea was, the "Antagonist" will be refined and help fighting the real evil. But how this is shown in the movie is just bad writing, no actual emotional breakthrough is shown. Leia's sacrifice makes absolutely no sense at all and was just dull.
The ending is so plain stupid, the whole climax to reach the confrontation between good and bad just ends in a few seconds, who was in charge of writing this and was there no better script?!
All in all, if it was not star wars, this might have gotten a 5/10 from me because the effects we're good and the aerial combat was entertaining, but given the budget the film has, the gigantic crew of writers etc behind it, this was just one of the biggest disappointments in recent history.
