Fans and critics are equally ridiculous

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

Is the Rise of Skywalker perfect? Hell no! Is it worth the negative reviews from fans and critics? Not even close.
I don't know about the rest of the star wars fandom, but I want Star Wars to succeed. Because what do any of us get out of wishing for it's failure? Sure you can gloat and say you told us so, but how does that benefit anyone in the long run? It doesn't! The fans dug their own grave once again! They dug it with the prequels which caused Lucas to give up and sell it to Disney! And then they complained that The Force Awakens was too similar to a New Hope and so they tried something different with The Last Jedi which ticked everyone off, so they played it safe with Rise of Skywalker. Congratulations fans, you killed Star Wars!
And for the critics to complained about it being a crammed and unoriginal piece of fan-service. Learn to evaluate a film for what it is, because anyone with a brain would know that critics have never been Star Wars target audience. When you enrage your target audience like Disney did with The Last Jedi, you are left in a vulnerable position. And based on the less than desirable circumstances, I think it turned out fairly well.
