Disneys has attempted to reignite the love for an old franchise but has ended up harming it more

Rating: 3/10 (24 December 2019)

Just so you know this review is coming from a star wars fan not a die hard fan but thats due to the horrible direction it has gone under disneys control.
This film as a stand alone title is okay and i would have given it a 5 star posibbly even a 6 star rating. Yet the first hour of the film is still a chore to get through and even as i write this revenge of the sith is playing in the background which is far more entertaining than the rise of skywalker.
I grew up on the god awful prequels so i respect them for their visuals and choreography even if it it was terribly written, i have to say this film single handedly ruins the rewatch value of every star wars film. Anakin turned to the dark side to try find a cure to death even though there isnt one to just have ren bring rey back to life are you serious??? The force once again allows them to do things never stated before and to bring back palpatine in this why felt cheap and unoriginal. Speaking of originality i just want to point out all three remakes lacked any originallity that even the prequeals had.
The reason the film felt okay as a stand qlone was due to the team actually being together more with poe and fin having some really good chemistry but oh dear lord rey annoys the hell out of me. Her behavoiur in the film is understandable but i dont believe the actor is any good. On the other note Kylo Ren had one if the best story arcs in my opnion, i hated him in force awakens but he came back for a third time and made me love him.
I loved the star wars universe but after this film i wont to clean my hands of it all and its a shame disney have to stick their noses into everything for a bit of profit because its slowly ruining the industry. And for me its ruined this fantastic series.
