Solid end to a disappointing trilogy

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2019)

After the last two movies, my expectations were low. I was hoping for the equivalent emotional depth of a Disneyland ride.
I was disappointed in both The Force Awakens (which copied the New Hope too much for my tastes) and The Last Jedi (I didn't enjoy grumpy Luke or the Finn / Rose cheesy side quest).
Despite many problems, The Rise of Skywalker improves on those two bc it puts more focus on the two most interesting characters, Kyle Ren and Rey. The action is also of a higher quality. It has lots of problems which is why it's a 7, but I walked out of it feeling entertained if not completely satisfied.
