It's on par with Revenge of the Sith. Not as bad as the other prequels, not as good as any of the original, worse then the other sequels.
So 6th or 7th out of the 9, better than Solo?

The Holiday Special is the Star Wars movie that sucks the least.
Change my mind.

I really enjoyed it. I actually find TFA to be the least enjoyable of the new trilogy due to how annoyingly similar it is to ANH, but I gave every movie 8.5/10 so...well done Disney, I guess?
Now we wait 30 years for the sequel trilogy to Rey,Finn and Poe's story.

Hi all,
I watch Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker movies yesterday afternoon. It was great movie. It is very interesting things about. I saw Ewoks, Han Solo, Lando Clarissian and Princess Leia, as well. Also, I seeing Sith lords just came back alive right after Returns of the Jedi.

I'm just going to throw my initial opinion out there without going into many details. Ultimately its Star Wars, so I enjoyed it. But there was a lot of disappointment packed into this one; a lot of poor decisions. I also just didn't think the film-making was at the same level.
I liked the pixar droid though.

I liked it a lot. The story is very rushed to the point that it becomes tiring and some of the story decisions are a bit odd, but the film nailed the emotional beats for me and the character arcs were resolved nicely for the most part. Adam Driver is the MVP of the trilogy. Dude is great here and his scenes with Daisy are excellent.

I'm still processing this, but I went in expecting to hate it and that wasn't the case at all. A huge thing that bugged me that perhaps someone can shed light on is: How the fuck does Palpatine not only have Rey as a grandchild, but had children at all? There is literally not one moment in any of the previous films even depicting Palpatine to have a wife or mistress or whatever. And now he had children too? When? Did they not carry the Force as well? Were they just never around while he was working the Senate? It's also annoyingly vague as to how the fuck he's even back here in the first place. I know that in Revenge of the Sith he mentions the ability of being able to resurrect the dead... but how is he in human form now? I thought a living Sith could revive a dead person, but now we're being told the dead can revive themselves? It's a big, big plot detail that they just gloss over.
It just feels painfully obvious that his entire involvement in this film is totally shoehorned in, and Rey being his granddaughter doesn't work either. He's been pulling the strings this whole time? So I guess he can just keep returning whenever he feels like it? Or is being killed by his own electricity the silver bullet that being thrown down an elevator shaft isn't? I don't want this to be a deal breaker for me in regards to liking this movie or not, but it is a massive issue. |

But I wouldn't worry too much about he got children. I mean, it's not like Sith are honor-bound to save themselves for marriage. Dude probably fucked a galactic senate intern then paid her off to have the kid in secret. They call it the dark side for a reason. |

The dude is the guy in charge. We're seriously questioning whether or not there was a space Monica Lewinski? There is ALWAYS one.
