Wrong title, horrible ending, over all: meh

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2019)

First of all I felt the movie dragged in places, but that's not uncommon. The movie should have been named "RISE IF THE JEDI".
Some positives: Rey being from Palatine was a genius move. Did not see that coming. Also, the cameo of Han Solo was terrific. Great scene. The battle scenes were great.
Now negatives: as with all three of the last episodes I just felt like something was missing. Personally I feel it was the touch of Lucas. Whatever magic he brought to the first 6, it was missing in the final 3.
The ending was a catastrophe. Two things should have happened: 1) Palatine kills Rey and then Kylo kills Palatine. Then the movie title would have made sense. OR 2) Palatine, Rey, and Kylo die in the end resulting in a balance in the universe. With both gone there is balance.
The movie was pretty darn good, but needed a whole lot more work to the story.
Over all, meh.
