Not the Luke Skywalker you're looking for

Rating: 5/10 (2 January 2020)

This film disappointed me. I feel like Luke's legacy is destroyed in this movie. It doesn't feel like it's Luke Skywalker and even Mark Hamill has commented to this as well.
For example, the first scene Luke is in picks up where Force Awakens left off. Rey gives him the lightsaber that was once his fathers, then passed down to him by Obi Wan. This same lightsaber he lost after Vader cut off his arm in Episode V, which he probably thought he'd never see it again. You'd think this might be sentimental to him. Instead his reaction: throwing it over his shoulder down a cliff??
Then he doesn't even really get an honorable death either imo, but I will say the force projection fight with Kylo was cool. And what about Phasma? Seems like a waste of a character. Thought Phasma would play a more pivotal role after Force Awakens.
The tone of this movie just feels off. Not my favorite in the Skywalker saga. Could've been better and as a result this movie negatively impacts the tone, pacing, and character development in the Rise of Skywalker. For that the movie gets a generous 5.
