I felt nothing

Rating: 3/10 (22 December 2019)

There are a thousand things wrong with this movie. From bad pacing, choppy editing, the story can't pick a lane, etc. There are some good concepts, but I'm not sure it gets too much credit because it didn't really execute them well. It's clearly at odds with the other movies in this Trilogy, and the Saga as a whole.
But at the end of the movie, I realized the worst thing about it was that I felt nothing.
I was never exited, I was never upset. I'm not angry that this movie was a disappointment to me. I doubt I'll even remember my movie going experience. I saw a Star Wars mainline movie in theaters and it was one of the least memorable movie going experiences I've had.
Just a few weeks ago I was rewatching the Original Trilogy and even after all these year and multiple viewings I still got chills. That's almost embarrassing to say about cheesy sci-fi movies "made for kids." Even the Star Wars movies I don't like make me feel something. Anger for feeling like it ruined something thst came before. Regret and the failed potential of characters and story. They could make me laugh by being so bad.
But it's clear this movie was dead before it ever breathed. The "creative" "team" was uninspired and at odds with each other. There were boxes and limits put on them from past movies. But obstacles in the creative process can make a product greater than it would have been without them. But instead this movie decided to ignore these limitations and in doing so it all feels hollow.
I don't think I'll ever watch this movie again. I don't even recommend other people to watch it. I don't think it's worth someone's time. This movie was just cranked out to finish the Disney Trilogy on time. There's no heart, there's no emotion. There's nothing.
