Imperfect, yet satisfying

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2019)

The plot may be rushed, convenient, and even bizarre, but the less-than-satisfactory set up is more than paid off with some of the best performances, action, and emotion of the entire saga.
It would be difficult to call The Rise of Skywalker a well-crafted movie, and yet it manages to capture the essence of Star Wars better than any of the previous Disney-produced installments.
