The Rise of Skywalker = The Fall of Star Wars

Rating: 3/10 (19 December 2019)

I am left dumbfounded as to how Disney managed to take a mostly successful franchise and destroy it.
From the get go you had a Rey who could do incredible things with the force without any training, best trained Sith in lightsaber battles, again with no training, and it continues in this movie.
The writing is atrocious, and if I was actually a Star Wars superfan I would be incensed. As it is I can't believe I wasted my time with this nonsense.
Kathleen Kennedy needs to go ASAP.
Their only concern seems to be to disparage what came before, basically rendering the entire previous struggles moot, whilst trying to cater to every possible demographic out there.
In short, just bad.
If you are going to write a trilogy, it is recommended that you actually have it planned in its entirety before you film a single scene, rather than simply going with the flow and elevating an unknown character to godhood without said character having earned it.
Avoid this movie if you can, as Star Wars ended with Return of the Jedi and should have stayed that way.
Bad writing, nonsensical plot, phoned in acting, bad directing, bad editing.
