After TLJ killed Star Wars, TROS had NO HOPE.

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2019)

That being said what we end up with is a vast improvement when compared to TLJ but that isn't hard. Even the old Ewok films are preferable to TLJ and that's saying something lol.
JJ does his best to repair the trilogy and if he had made all three films then the saga would have been epic. I could see what he was trying to achieve but Rian The Johnson decide to poo poo all over it and made the middle film, the most crucial film, his own ego trip instead of continuing the story that was set up in TFA. The Johnson deliberately sabotaged the new Star Wars trilogy and in doing so killed Star Wars for many of us die hard fans. The Johnson managed to kill us too.
I will watch Episode IX again but Episode VIII no longer exists in my Star Wars universe and will never be watched ever again, once was enough.
I'm glad that JJ managed to make Luke seem more like a Jedi again though after The Johnson made him out to be something unrecognisable to the fans and even to Hamill himself.
