Before you criticize my review by giving it a thumbs down, please read and think about my review

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2019)

Before I say anything, the reason I gave it five out of ten is because I loved it, but, I also see why the critics gave the movie not so stellar reviews. The reason why I love Star Wars: The Last Jedi, is because it was different. I wasn't expecting the film to be about the resistance trying to flee from the First Order, and that it absolutely looked like there was no hope at all for them, and that there was a completely insane plan only made by a few resistance members so they can successfully flee from them. Usually, you expect for the commanders to go along with this ridiculous plan, but they didn't agree with the plan, and that they had they're own plan, which the few resistance plan screwed up due to a code breaker snitching on them, which is also completely unexpected. To get to the point, people hated The Last Jedi because the majority of people do not like things that are different, thus, the amazing reviews which I side with by the way. Now this all sets up my review for Rise Of Skywalker. Because the majority of "True Star Wars Fans" hated The Last Jedi, they gave way to much feedback to J.J. Abrams for how this film goes. Don't get me wrong, fan service for films can be really great. But, at times, that can also be really bad for films as well. Some things worked really well for me in the film, like how Palpatine explains that Snoke is essentially a very deformed clone of him. That works. And it gives more backstory on Rey's Parents and that they pretended to be nobodies in order to protect Rey because she is Palpatine's Granddaughter. That works as well. However, making the film jump a year after the events of The Last Jedi and the Final Order, which I felt was a plot device, didn't work with me at all. The final battle was really cool, do not think that I don't think it is, but I saw it as a plot device. "The First Order has become The Final Order and the Galaxy must unite, even though it looks like there is no hope, to stop them from truly taking over again". Please understand that I thought the movie was great, and that given that this is the last film in the Skywalker Saga, the Director, crew, and cast had very limited resources to work with. And, if the "True Star Wars Fans" didn't essentially trash The Last Jedi, then maybe we could have gotten a final Star Wars Skywalker Saga Film we all could have gotten we could all enjoy. But no, we cannot. I thought this movie was really good, but they shouldn't have listened to the negative reviews for The Last Jedi. That's my biggest gripe. I am sorry for being really honest.
