Much better than The Last Jedi

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

Though, that isn't saying much. Enough about TLJ. The Rise of Skywalke has its flaws, but at least it is entertaining. There were moments that felt forced or scenes that should have been given more time and context to play out, but were instead very short and rushed. In fact, I think rushed would be a good word to describe the entire movie. They tried to fit in a lot of plot into this movie, which made everything feel rushed and many of the scenes they wanted to be emotional didn't hit hard at all.
The ending seems to fall apart a bit but the movie overall was enjoyable.
Honestly, can't blame the writers too much. The entire trilogy feels very disjointed and directionless. They should have had the entire trilogy laid out before they started filming the first movie. As this latest trilogy stands, it feels like three separate movies telling their own stories with recurring characters.
If you've already watched the previous two movies, I'd say watch this one to finish off the trilogy. If you haven't watched this trilogy yet, then I honestly don't have an answer for you one way or the other.
