Fan Theory The Movie - Directed by J.J. Abrams

Rating: 4/10 (26 December 2019)

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker was directed by JJ Abrams and it is the conclusion of the sequel trilogy.
The Rise of Skywalker is easily the worst conclusion of all of the Star Wars trilogies (yes, including the prequels). The main reason for that is JJ Abrams' and Rian Johnson's different directorial visions. Abrams made The Force Awakens by his vision and Johnson made The Last Jedi by his which resulted in an utter mess, a few (but not enough) answered questions and more plot holes than I'm able to count.
Luke knew about Rey's parents and still decided to train her, the emperor is all of a sudden alive and well, where did his fleet come from, why is Luke's lightsabre repaired...
Besides the countless plot holes, almost everything in The Rise of Skywalker is nonsensical and meaningless. Rey dies, Kylo somehow resurrects her using the force, the kiss and then Kylo dies. It sounds like a fantasy of a five-year-old who got high after snorting crayons.
On the very dimly lit bright side, The Rise of Skywalker does have a few interesting fight scenes and pretty visual and sound effects as do all of the other Star Wars films but that doesn't save it from being the biggest disappointment of the year.
Final Rating - 4/10
