Review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) by Ceramicsaturn — 20 Dec 2019

This trilogy is an absolute joke. They never had a clear vision from the beginning and it shows. Even episode 7 vs episode 9 it feels like JJ had completely different ideas about how to end this than how he started. The story is a mess, the characters drone on with hopeless exposition, and there's not even much to be had for spectical for those looking for a fun pop corn movie. We've gone from a clone of A New Hope, to a movie that called any critic a racist or sexist, to a movie now that drives a dagger so deep into the heart of SW that it's finally dead. I feel nothing.

I was the biggest SW fan. I bought all the merch, I was apart of the 501st, heck it's even how I met my wife. This franchise all gone now. There's literally nothing left. Picture a film that could literally kill a 4 billion dollar franchise, and this is it. JJ, KK, Rian Johnson and Bob I. killed Star Wars. KK literally lied to Lucas' face, straight up, and said she'd care for his characters and his legacy. She's the one common thread between all three movies. She needs to be fired.

Don't see it. Spare yourself. Go watch the other trilogies if you want to see some SW action. This is just too painful to watch.
