So, I just watched Rise of Skywalker and I want your opinions (Spoilers)

My family and I went to the movies to watch it as a little Christmas gift. We love the Star Wars movies (my mom hates the prequels and my sister hasn’t watched the prequels and barely remembers the originals) and we were all excited to see it. In short, I liked it, but when did my opinion amount to anything? Plus, I’m super easy to please, so there’s that. However, I can see why a lot of people hate it. There were plenty of ass-pulls and the pacing was super quick. Palpatine seemed to be there only to lure in the hard core fans and wasn’t given much screen time. We didn’t even get a clear explanation as to how he lived through the Death Star 2’s explosion. But I really did like that scene where he used a bunch of force power and shot a beam of lightning up into the sky. I also liked the scene where a bunch of ships appeared to help the resistance. It was like a weaker version of that Endgame scene. You know which one I’m talking about. I’d talk a lot more about every major scene, but I don’t have time. Me and my family are about to do our annual Christmas cookie decorating. So, I want to know what you thought about the movie. The reviews I’ve seen have been surprisingly mixed, so I wanna know where you stand. [spoiler]Fades Away[/spoiler]

  • It was enjoyable, Overall really mediocre. I can understand all the ass pulls/pseudo retcons since Rían Johnson dig them into a narrative ditch wider then a football field. That being said the third act was disappointing. Palpatine was confusing on multiple levels. The giant shard of the Death Star doesn’t make any sense and Rey’s powers area still incredibly strange. Like with Anakin it was the “Midlchlorian” thing and it didn’t matter as much with Luke since he was the first Jedi we saw being trained but I still don’t understand how and when she became so ridiculously powerful.
