Easily the worst of the entire franchise!

Rating: 5/10 (4 January 2020)

Emperor Palpatine back from the dead, seriously?! If anyone was supposed to be that powerful, it was supposed to be Luke Skywalker, not the Emperor. The entire story has been out of balance since his death because there is no Skywalker to take down the empire (unless they decided to make Ray a Skywalker, but they made her a Palpatine). And just when you think they might correct the imbalance, Ben suddenly converts back following him mom's death. They had an opportunity to fix everything by making him a Jedi and having Ray embrace her bloodline, then have a true Skywalker take down the new Sith Lord, but instead they had a Palpatine take down the Empire, which goes against everything the entire franchise has been preaching from day 1. And then, to correct it, they simply make her choose to change her name at the end, omg, horrible writing. I'll take half of what these idiots are making and write a story 1000 X's better than this.
Good job ruining the franchise.
It gets a 5 because that's the lowest rating I'll give a big budget motion picture like this. The effects and quality of the movie alone are worth at least 5 stars, in my opinion, but the story was unbelievably awful.
