A shameful disgrace

Rating: 4/10 (15 January 2020)

J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and everyone else who wrote, directed and produced this film should be ashamed of themselves.
It is a nonsensical, boring mess that disrespects Star Wars fans and its audience.
You can tell the film makers had no love or respect for the source material. The plot holes are numerous and no attempt is made to explain them.
It becomes shockingly clear that the entire sequel trilogy was made without any coherent plan, purely as a way to make money.
While the prequels had their faults, they had least were different and distinct from the original trilogy. They were also created by George Lucas himself, and as the creator of the wonderful original films deserves some leeway with some of the mis-steps in the prequels.
The Sequel trilogy has great actors, great costume design, and great special effects.
The story is a pointless, incoherent mess that shows how little respect and how much contempt the film makers have for their audience.
The Rise of Skywalker is a shameful disgrace.
