Awesome job by J.J. Abrams and the best movie in the sequel trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2020)

Don't listen to the nay-sayers! Giving it a 10 to boost its rating + because it's worth it, as it's finally a dynamic action-packed Star Wars movie that you can enjoy watching a second time even with a week / soon after the first time (and I rarely go for a second time to movies). After reading the discussions and negativism on every possible topic (15 unanswered questions of the movie, 5 things that it did wrong, etc.) and watching the movie again, I have to say that it's perfect in every way - it answers everything that it has to answer, takes care of everything as a final movie, and I enjoyed watching it again for a second time.
J.J. Abrams has done an awesome job with the final movie of the saga, and made the right choices for each of the puzzles that had to be solved. As a comparison:

The Force Awakens was nice as introducing the new characters and to show that even with new players history would just repeat itself. However the plot was too shallow as "yet another Death Star", like the 2019 Terminator and Rambo movies that were final, but felt like "yet another" of the same movie with a shallow plot.

Then The Last Jedi was overall a good movie, but was too stubborn in having to prove all fan theories wrong: sorry, Snoke is no one, Rey is no one and acts like a village kid without the natural intelligence that kind of seemed there at first sight, Luke is no one like what you would expect him to be, Poe is no one as leadership, Jedi's are no one and a complete failure, the smaller and smaller resistance group are also no one and can't do anything. OK, maybe the one about the resistance was needed, as a setup for a more radical effort.

Then The Rise of Skywalker finally delivers as story line and content that you can enjoy watching multiple times, does what it has to do with all of the main characters, and completes the saga with an overpowering antagonist across all the trilogies, which actually feels better, like solving a bigger unfinished problem of the never fully defeated Empire (as also seen in The Mandalorian series), rather than wash-rinse-repeat iterations of every next generation of new kids on the block having to fight their small new toy empires again and again.

Kudos to J.J. Abrams for making that happen + all the fan service along the way, which may be disliked by critics but it's not for them, fan service is for the fans.
