The most ENTERTAINING of the sequels

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

I loved force awakens, and was pretty impartial to the last Jedi. This movie for me, is the most watchable movie of this trilogy. There's lots of action, the film is very fast paced and constantly engaging. The plot did seem thin at times, almost like a video game style plot, but the character payoffs and explanations I thought were great and highly satisfying. My complaints are mainly to do with palpatine who is one of my favourite villains of all time. An explanation for his survival is not at all given, and I think his place in this trilogy is not very well justified. That being said his presence in the movie was huge and it was great seeing the big bad of the Star Wars at the end of the saga. I think the main problems with the movie are in the first 40 mins or so, where scenes just wiz by, and there's so much explained it almost feels like this should've have been a 3 hour movie, and honestly for the 9th film in the saga I think this sort of runtime would be warranted. Although there are flaws this is most likely the film from this trilogy I will watch most. I like this movie for the same reason I liked Revenge of the Sith. The constant action is great while still having the necessary character moments to end this trilogy.
