Really can't believe what I just saw.

Rating: 1/10 (2 April 2020)

Lightspeed skipping, the miraculous fixing of Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, Palpatine still being alive, Palpatine being all of the Sith and Rey being all of the Jedi and the way that they treat C-3PO. I cannot believe what I just saw.
The pacing is all over the place and terrible. I've never seen a Star Wars movie that is paced so badly as this before, other than parts of ROTJ. If you would have put me in a room and played this film in 20 minutes segments, I would have assumed that this was a television series rather than a Star Wars movie. Thats how badly paced it is. It's the Anchorman 2 of Star Wars, in that it is more segments than an actual movie.
It is impossible to skip in Lightspeed, if you've read the books, or even if you haven't and understand basic physics and have a brain. You cannot just randomly skip in space, where it has not been charted, as you cannot skip in the waters of Earth where it has not been charted going at the speed of light and make it out alive or not crash. You will crash into something, but not if you're Poe Dameron and this is the new Star Wars. You can do anything.
The tagline of this movie should be Rey can do anything, because that's all the movie is about. Rey having a temper tantrum, Rey training, speaking and generally being the most annoying character that I have ever seen since Rose Tico, and definitely not the character that we saw in the force awakens or even in the Last Jedi. I really liked the force awakens and if you skip Casino Bright, then the Last Jedi is a great movie too, but seriously, this movie does not make any sense, and should be completely wiped from Canon. It's an eyesore and hurts your head to watch, and this is coming from somebody who didn't read any spoilers and waited for it to come to DVD, and boy am I glad that I rented this one and didn't buy it. It is genuinely one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
I've loved Star Wars since I was a little boy. The lightsaber fights in the original and prequels were 1,000,000,000 times better than any of thr lightsaber fights in any of these new 3 movies and the stories progressively got worse and The Rise of Skywalker is the worst yet. The fights are sporadic and almost look as if they weren't even choreographed, and yet somehow they were. Ben and Rey are horrible in this movie, and the ending is just hair tearing, furniture breaking, Hot Wheels squishing and agonizingly horrendous that I really don't want to watch another Disney Star Wars movie ever again. There are exceptions like the Mandalorian, but I am truly terrified of the future of Star Wars with this film and Disney's takeover and lack of listening skills. It us the absolute worst Star Wars film I've ever seen.
Nostalgia is a killer for this movie, as well as the lackluster, boring and flat storyline and Rey and Ben.
