Well made fanfiction but without an emotional impact on any level

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2019)

This is a fan movie. You clearly can see, that JJ loves Star Wars ep4-6. This movie isn't bad, it's just fine on a very basic level. It's not as awful as The Last Jedi, it even tries to undo some of the faults of that one, but it also undos some elements of the original trilogy. I can understand why JJ did this, and he did his best, but it does not work as the final chapter of this new trilogy and even less as the final chapter of the whole saga.
Rise of Skywalker is packed with fan service and tries to put this all together giving the characters a deserved final ending. The plot is weak and has tons of ridicilous moments, although some character development, especially between Rey and Kylo worked to a certain degree. Some of the humor also works and it's not that out of place as it was in The Last Jedi. The music & cinematography is good as you can expect from a blockbuster. Some side characters are cool, others as waste of screen time.
Overall it's a,mixed bag for me. At least i wasn't upset, but did not feel that much in the end.
One word to some people who offend other opinions. You can love or hate this or any movie, either way, but just the fact that somene goes for one way or another it does not mean that he does this because someone tells him to do so or jump on a bandwagon of haters or hardcore fans because it's kinda cool or whatever. Justifying a opinion while offending others is the wrong way.
