A fun but flawed ending to the Skywalker saga

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2019)

The Rise of Skywalker has many fun actions scenes but has many story and character flaws. Pros: Good action, good special effects for the most part, good acting for the most part, and lots of unnecessary but fun fan service. Also some of the characters decisions are mostly good especially for Kylo Ren and C-3PO. Also the banter between the team was pretty good and fun. I also liked that Lando finally returned to the series though he is in it for only a short amount of time. The movie does do a good a job at making you nostalgic for the original trilogy and there are super really cool and exciting lightsaber fights.
Cons: Palpatine's return was not needed, the movie retcons too much stuff that happens in the other movies, Finn should have been given more character development, the new characters were unnecessary and for the most part had no development , and the reveal of Rey's parents was fine but the reveal kind came out of nowhere. Also some of the humor just fell flat and felt out of place.The movie has a lot have things going on at times and this can drag the movie on and make it feel rushed. Rise of Skywalker is a decent finale to the saga but has many flaws and it does its best to clean up the mistakes of The Last Jedi.
