An entertaining and thrilling but messy piece of melted cheese that somehow has a lot of holes in it.

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2019)

The film has a lot of charm and definitely delivers that popcorn cinema feeling. It is a spectacle and you enjoy it while you watch it, but if you are a lifelong Star Wars fan, who has read a ton of books, comics and played the video games, you will not be able to take this seriously. The film is a rehash of Return of the Jedi, with sprinkles of Empire Strikes Back and it feels like two movies crammed into one. The non-stop roller coaster ride is there to stop you from thinking about whether or not any of this makes sense and unfortunately in the grand scheme of the saga, it doesn't. Not only was there no plan for this trilogy, but it was only made to end what George Lucas created and bury it, so that Disney can start fresh with new characters, locations and stories, unburdened by the past. Whether the film makers realise it or not, this film's plot actively destroys the main plot for both the Original and Prequel trilogies.
