well, the critics aren't wrong. 

it was pretty bad.first of all,  i feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities to make this better. a few pretty big things happen, that could have (should have) made people cry like babies. but you weren't really given an opportunity to digest them before the next thing is forced into your face. and things happen that ... i mean, i've seen the other movies, several times. and things happen in this movie that just don't reconcile for me. and there's not much in the way of explanation offered, you just have to pick it up as you go. or just give up trying to make sense of what you're watching, and enjoy it for the eye candy it is. except those leia scenes. those were straight cgi trash and they'd have done better to just write her out of the film entirely, or at the least, minimize her role quite a bit.

and there's so much more. but i'm done bashing it for now. it was a lot of fun and a fitting end to this trilogy, for the most part. there were some interesting twists, and i left it with a good sense of closure. hopefully this is the last one they make.

ok, my biggest gripe though:

Spoiler

i realize force-induced teleportation was flirted with in the last jedi, but this was just ridiculous. oh, and regeneration/reanimation? come on.

How long would the movie have been if they closed all the previous issues that had been unresolved?

well, they did try to fix a lot from the last jedi, but it only opened up new issues imo. this movie could have probably been spread across two if they explored everything necessary to reach the conclusion we got. but that doesn't fit the neat little trilogy package, so let's just stuff that turkey hard and hope for the best!

it would have been nice to see rey win it solo. but nooooo, she obviously can't win without the help of that man. multiple helps, at that. boo.

 

Spoiler

You know the neckbeards would have thrown a hissyfit if that happened tho. They already bitch about Rey being a "Mary Sue"

I don't care what anyone says tho I liked it. I don't think it's possible for them to make a movie that could make everyone happy.

Spoiler

Also we now have confirmation that Palpatine fucks. That is all.

That's what I figured but they never really mention it

Spoiler

Also Rose was useless. Why did they make her a main character in 8 to throw her away in 9

I got spoiled on part of it last night.

Fuck you house of mouse, you ruined an obvious cash cow with your utter lack of vision.
 

Spoiler

 

Rey is Palpatine's granddaughter.....

Fuck off with that shit and all the other Mary Sue bullshit....

 

 

This makes two franchises that JJ Abrams has ruined, come on Hollywood, get it together. Though to be fair he got dealt a garbage hand from Last Jedi....
