It does the best it can trying to follow on from some 'questionable' choices made in The Last Jedi

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

Yes, it's not the best out of them all but Star Wars is still underneath all of this. My childhood and growing up with this universe is still there. John Williams, you're an absolute musical wizard and I hope one day to have the success you have had!
Personally I feel Palpatine is sort of shoe-horned into the film without an explanation as well as Rey's heritage (she should have been left as a 'nobody') but if you can look past that, it is a fun film but more importantly it is a Star Wars film. The third act of the film rounds off the saga really strongly. (I just hope they don't continue on from Rise of Skywalker on the Star Wars timeline - there's so much more material pre-prequels as well as between the prequels and the original trilogy. Disney, create a saga for the next generation. You've got the universe to do it with and you've certainly got the budget!)
