[@TheDawnofVanlife]

It didn't "finally" end with Rise of Skywalker, it ended with Return of the Jedi. There were no hanging plot points at the end of Return of the Jedi. The prequels, for all the flaws, were establishing how we got to the situations of "A New Hope" and did so in a full circle 3 part arc. The Force Awakens (which I enjoyed) essentially pulled the Skywalker legacy out of it's grave (where it was resting in happy peace) and forced it back to life like a Frankenstein monster assembling parts of past Star Wars success onto a young cast. And initially it was like "it's alive, yes". But in the end you see the horror you've created in the world.

There’s exactly 0% chance this trilogy ended as planned and that is really on everyone involved. JJ exiles Luke to an island and has skywalker lightsaber call out to Rey for some reason. Rian said “the past is shit, forget it” since he was just given an outline and given rein to do his thing. So now we have 2 extremes. This whole series was marred by poor planning, a lack of vision, and a straight up FEAR of disappointing people, so they pandered to people who wanted the same, people that wanted something different, and then strikes the unsatisfying middle.

From what I can see as expected this film has Hyperbolic comments on both sides, Some say its the Worst Thing they've ever seen Some say its a Masterpiece & best of the new trilogy. IMHO I think it was a bit Over Bloated & rushing itself Too Fast w/o proper expansion. A ton of stuff happens that couldve used Far better explanations but it felt like it didnt have time for all the ideas it wanted to cram into it. & to take your mind off it JJ kept usin the ol trick of "Member this Nostalgia" & honestly some plot points never got proper endings. If u liked it good for you & happy you enjoyed it, If you hated it Dont be a dick to someone not being a dick to you & while there is Some stuff I did think was cool, Overall I saw a lot of flaws which I cant say cause SPOILERS so for me honestly I cant say I cared for it tbh

So critics need to stop proclaiming that RoS is giving the fans what they wanted.

[@shadowfoxx4]

The biggest problem is that Rian has an I in his name

[@Ren_Davis0531]

With this final film, it’s safe to say that this whole trilogy is pointless. As bad as the prequels are, they at the very least had good ideas and created interesting and lasting elements that are still loved today. The Rise of Skywalker just sounds like lazy pandering that is designed to course correct from The Last Jedi. The Force Awakens was all retread and setup. The Last Jedi ignored that setup and didn’t move the plot at all while pretending to be new. This means that The Rise of Skywalker had to create, build, and conclude a trilogy’s worth of story in one film. That’s a tall order. This is probably why so many people said that this was filled with exposition and felt crammed. The most important thing this new trilogy did was kill off Han, Luke, and Leia, which sucks since those three characters added little to nothing to the story. And I hate that they are marketing this as a conclusion to a nine film saga. It’s not. It’s the conclusion to this current trilogy that they decided to pretend is a nine film story in order to lazily make this trilogy feel more important. Star Wars has so much potential, and this is what they did with it. Such a waste.

[@GrayWoIf]

I've seen the prequels multiple times and I hate the 2nd one but I've seen it more than once this new trilogy after leaving the theater I never saw again and never will what's the point.

Agree with this trilogy being pointless. I disagree with the prequels having good ideas that have stand the test of time.

It should have stopped after '77, which was a new and innovative take on the classic formula of young peasant meets old knight and rescues princess from evil wizard. Thinking of new ideas is beyond modern writers, as demonstrated by all of the remakes that have released in the last decade and those that are coming in the next (Dune, Stargate, and Escape from New York, for example).

[@shinnyshin7792]

There are some decent books and really good games too but...all of them have a coherent creative vision and a willingness to move away from the Skywalker/Empire trap the films are stagnating in. One thing I will say is that these new movies have given me a new appreciation for the prequels. Those movies were awfully written with terrible dialogue and uneven acting...but I now know I'll take a thoroughly planned trainwreck from a single creator over whatever this new trilogy was.

[@JoeJoe-lq6bd]

This was foreseeable. I don’t really like Abrams’ as a director but he was given an impossible hand because Johnson killed almost all narrative threads because he didn’t think about how someone else would have to clean up his mess.

Seems to me if you're making a trilogy you should plan it out a little, that way you don't have 1 of the films going in a different direction to the other 2. It's essentially cinematic whiplash going in different directions in every film.

I echo what many others here have said, Finn should have been the protagonist. I liked TFA but my parents, who thought that the third act was too much of a retread, and I both agreed that the idea of a reformed bad guy was a great concept. We had the original trilogy, which was about a young idealist fulfilling his potential despite circumstances and his own father pulling him towards evil. We had the prequels, which was (in concept, at least) about how a similar gifted young man out of slavery could be corrupted. The struggles of a man who was dragged into an evil empire and has to fight his conscience and upbringing is the last logical step.

[@RatzaChewy]

@Azmon Rougier What about it? A female Jedi works too. The issue is that they couldn't decide on WHY she was important. I get the feeling that Rian Johnson turned her backstory on its head because he was basically dealt nothing to work with other than 'mysterious orphan', one of the most played out tropes in fantasy.

[@joshboy64]

Here's a quote from Rian Johnson recently. "I think approaching any creative process with [the purpose of making fandoms happy] would be a mistake that would lead to probably the exact opposite result. Even my experience as a fan, you know, if I’m coming into something, even if it’s something that I think I want, if I see exactly what I think I want on the screen, it’s like, ‘Oh, okay.’ It might make me smile and make me feel neutral about the thing and I won’t really think about it afterwards, but that’s not really going to satisfy me. What I’m aiming for every time I sit down in a theater is to have the experience [I had] with Empire Strikes Back, something that’s emotionally resonant and feels like it connects up and makes sense and really gets to the heart of what this thing is and in a way that I never could have seen coming. I want to be shocked, I want to be surprised, I want to be thrown off-guard, I want to have things recontextualized, I want to be challenged as a fan when I sit down in the theater." Say what you will about The Last Jedi, but I feel that Corey and Martin are on the same page as this statement. He might not have hit a home run for everyone... but goddamn do I think he understands what a fandom needs.

[@jsh020]

The problem with this logic is, things have done exactly that trying to please fans and actually worked. Hell this year for games we had dmc5 which was just fanservice and its a beloved game. Its more these star wars movies dont know how to please fans

[@ethans2647]

The problem with The Last Jedi is that it didn't make sense and was sloppy. Plus elements that were created in The Force Awakens were just dropped or mishandled. I'm fine with tweaking things and changing up the status quo, but The Last Jedi didn't do that well at all imo

[@erikwilliams1562]

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

@@ethans2647 I kind of wonder if Johnson had a good story planned but was just pressured into following Empire Strikes Back. There are a lot of Empire's story beats at every stage of the film. I can't help thinking that he sort of cracked under the pressure of wanting to tell his own surprising 'let's take this new places' story but kept being asked by Disney that, "Oh, you've got to have a Hoth evacuation. And you've got to have an on-the-run plot. And you've got to have Yoda in it." And so he fell between two stools.

Let me start by saying this movie was anti climatic...there was no memorable fight scenes...the story seemed rushed...I couldnt stop thinking when I just left and even while I was watching it . I thought the phantom menace was a better movie experience...seemed like a lot of missed one liners for the first 45 min. The movie looked amazing but the rest was really just ehhh.....for that franchise it just seemed like a missed opportunity

[@lawofgravity1979]

I rewatched TLJ last night and I'll keep saying it...it's not an overall bad movie. The Canto Bight stuff, the shoehorned "romance" between Finn and Rose were a waste (among other things), but I was reminded, as Martin mentioned, just how many new ideas it tried to introduce to this universe and I applaud Rian Johnson for that. I've seen the criticism that maybe it chickened out from those ideas by the end of the movie but I think he was trying to leave a good jumping off point going into episode 9. TLJ is far from perfect and I can't defend everything it does...but I don't have to; I was excited by the new direction it proposed. I haven't seen TROS yet but it seems like it's going to completely abandon all that and play it safe. Anyway, just wanted to say that maybe I'm in the minority but TLJ doesn't deserve as much hate as it gets. I'm sure the Internets will tell me I'm wrong tho.

[@MrTreyshawn22]

Nah it rightfully so deserved that hate a lot of what went down in that movie was just bad. Luke’s whole character Leia poppins holdos dumb ass, snokes death, super Rey.rose stopping Finn from sacrificing himself, Yoda using force lighting as a ghost like plenty reasons why it’s hated

Dude im young and i HATE what Disney did to Star Wars.

[@TheLosboogie1973]

LMFAO- I have such a hard time not laughing while trying to feel outrage over the mishandling of Star Wars LOL. 🐱🗯 MRREEEEEEEEOWR!!!

[@cheri0427]

When I saw "Star Wars New Hope" when I was 13 and thought "This is the best SiFI movie I've ever seen, it's what I've always hoped for. I can't wait to see what happens next with these characters...", I never thought I would one day be ready to watch "Star Wars the Rise of Skywalker" at 55 and thinking "Thank God it's over, now maybe we can move on to other, better things in the Star Wars universe or maybe just turn the page completely..."

[@JATOclowncar]

With Darth Maul, they brought him back, yeah. But they actually did some interesting things with him. An entire season building his character back up in Clone Wars, an entire arc in which he's heavily involved in the Rebels show. They at least made his bringing back worthwhile, despite how questionable it was at the start.

[@Ubermensch9240]

Confused Mathew would be pissed if he was still a critic...... Oh God, Plinkett has a huge amount of matirial to work with now!

[@damien86YT]

Adam Driver starred in 2 movies about divorce this year, Marriage Story (out on Netflix now, just watch the ‘Argument’ scene) and the Rise of Skywalker (the one where it divided the Star Wars community down to its very core). One was brilliant and the other was a shit show...can you guess which is which😂

[@Devilsblood]

Marriage story? Its just a Kramer vs Kramer remake.

Nah that was Last Jedi

[@nickmesogianes4638]

The one positive I feel we can all agree on for this movie....John Williams music. As for the movie itself, it's not bad but it's not great either. It's just sort of there

[@tajcee]

Why is Rey important again...?

[@leanmantern2862]

this is why george sold star wars, to get away from so called fans like this. the originals were goofy space movies aimed at kids with enough plot holes to make swiss cheese. but because of nostalgia goggles they ignore those inconsistency and focus on the ones now.

[@leanmantern2862]

@Jack Smith if i was a fanboy i wouldn't call star wars a goofy space movie for kids. beside the prequels had WAY better characters and story yet corey hates them too so your argument is void of substance.

[@leanmantern2862]

​@Jack Smith darth maul, count dooku and general grievous being a physical manifestation of what anakin will become in the prequels, a fallen jedi consumed with hate and anger who is more machine than man, is better story telling and foreshadowing than any of the originals combined and that's just me getting started. if you didn't comprehend that then maybe the child in the room is you.

[@leanmantern2862]

@Jack Smith you want to talk bad dialogue? "when i left you i was but the learner now i'm the master" "only the master of evil darth". You have the audacity to lecture me on bad dialogue when THAT is what i saw watching the originals? oh please...Now i don't mind that kind of camp but i need you to keep that same energy for the "i have a bad feeling about this" dialogue we got from the originals. lol hell the bad magic is called the dark side for god sake lol you want to talk on the nose?

[@leanmantern2862]

@Jack Smith because all these movies were problematic and contradictory and aimed a the youth of the time which is why the dialogue is and has always been simple. it's just when you are drunk from nostalgiahol you pretend like the originals were like goodfellas when they were just fun movies influenced by old campy films lucas liked.

[@db-du5l688]

So your telling me the movie co-written by the same guy who wrote Batman V Superman and Justice League has terrible writing. How could we have seen that coming!

[@Funnycoolman11]

The idea that fans want the same story over & over just cause they didn't like The Last Jedi seems to be the biggest strawman ever.

[@MoriartyTheFifth]

Immediate thumbs up for that cats reveal.

[@pestyobsrvr4278]

22:27 Yo you telling me my favorite concept from the last movie was abandoned 😭😥😤 Im probably not seeing this

[@GojiraRising]

Ironic how Abrams is the one who started this trilogy & yet he adds the final nail in the coffin, although I'm definitely not excluding Kathleen, Rian and Co.

[@rhetro777]

I'm surprised he got the job in the first place after his mediocre Star Trek movies

[@HealerMommy1]

they had no part in this one sadly can't blame them..JJ also had more money to work with...which is rather sad.

[@DocBlue005]

Ah.. no, Kathleen Feminazi Kennedy started this shit show. The minute Disney got her to direct star wars it was over.

[@chicostephenson]

As true as that is, you got to realize Rion Johnson screwed the whole trilogy up in one movie!

[@GojiraRising]

@@chicostephenson true on that one, I should've mentioned him as well.

[@paulrose2107]

Both films were poor . The last jedi was worst than the prequels and the rise of Skywalker was pure tosh.

[@zeethree]

Rogue One was very close to greatness. Mandalorian is getting good reactions. Don't say a good Star Wars can't be done just because a few bad directors failed at it. Give Star Wars to Christopher Nolan and we'd be talking about Academy Awards nominations for Star Wars.

[@powerfultoa7]

Spoiler Alert... Palpatine's Force Lightning redirected itself back killing him so technically, Palpatine, is the Chosen One! Fantastic writing /s

Just came back from the movie and I'm pretty sure he stopped zapping as soon as it was getting reflected. It's as if rey's light saber absorbed it and started shooting back

[@StreetsAhead120]

Rey basically got a Roman Reigns push this whole time. I can’t be emotionally invested in her character because of it

[@YellowTwerker]

SenorTwoPhones so does she have to get cancer for you to care then

[@StreetsAhead120]

YellowTwerker No. She needs to have vulnerable. She’s less relatable than Luke. Luke was a simple kid that had flaws and struggled to learn the ways of the Force.

[@brandynrivas591]

OH.....MY .....GOD

[@grimmcrag8715]

She does have flaws, but her main one is hubris. She's arrogant to a fault and that's much less relatable to Luke who is naive and vulnerable. We meet Rey when she's been living alone all her life and been forced to become extremely competent and she believes she can handle anything, all the while being in many ways just as naive and ignorant as Luke. Shes not a Mary Sue as so many people like to scream, but her flaws are much less palletable in a protagonist.

Star wars is more depressing than schlindlers list now

[@leadsin99er]

It isn't a film, it's a bunch of compilation scenes made to please internet fans . And if there are unanswered questions, Disney will answer them in Star Wars books next year. Wtf?

[@MrTreyshawn22]

Who are these internet fans? Tumblr crowd? Cause this damn sure Wasn’t made for actual Star Wars fans

[@Moviemaniac174892]

Thundercat you hit the nail on the head, Disney is making star wars movies because they have too not because they want too. Personally star wars died after episode 6. Ther only movies worth watching are ep. 3 4 5 6 7 and on occasion if you want background music while you work around the house SOLO

[@vh9network]

Who says The Last Jedi is there favorite one is clearly trolling.

[@Renoistic]

At least it didn't just regurgitate old content, badly. Got to give it credit for that, even if it did fall into that trap a couple of times. Honestly I don't really like any of the Disney SW movies. The first one had a decent scene or two but in the end it was just a remake of A New Hope.

[@nosuchthing8]

Disney is turning star wars movies into video games

[@TheGrandTurk]

Playing it safe for The Force Awakens is the reason why we're here. The fear of failing doomed this trilogy to a loop of diminishing returns. If it all started with originality at the start, the pivots and retconning of the The Last Jedi wouldn't have caused so much drama.

[@BabyGirlTiny]

You say that as it the last jedi did anything with the characters to say that. Finn was denounced, rey was made for kylo. And I dont care about poe but he was all about arrogance. The last jedi was basic and didnt do anything new

[@rixlox650]

Coming from a fan of the original trilogy (4,5,6)…this new movie is some ol’ BS!

[@lergeworkman5208]

Rogue One still has me optimistic for the future

[@davis2857]

This wasn’t a movie. It was a product of frustration that was criminally mismanaged by those in charge while attempting to appease a fanbase of which the majority simply cannot be pleased. This is one of the worst movies (not just from the SW universe but a movie in general) that I’ve ever had to sit through. It is an incoherent train wreck and I can’t remember feeling this sorry and embarrassed for a cast. All I can figure is that the production team wrote a series of scenes comprised of everything the fans were outraged about and out of desperation called it a script. “Mad about Rey not being related to a major character? Here you go. Doesn’t make sense? Sorry about that.” “How about that training montage though? Am I right? It’s too little too late? Sorry about that.” “Snoke needed a backstory? Abracadabra, there ya go. Dumbest thing you could possibly imagine? Oopsy. Hey at least you got that backstory, right?” “More lightsaber duels? How about a lightsaber duel amongst a raging ocean? Why are they fighting? Look at those waves! Isn’t it awesome!” “Hey, remember this guy? Kind of? Well, he’s back! Why is he back? Well, look there he is, okay.” The Star Wars film franchise is over. It needs to retire because I don’t know if it’s possible for it to embarrass itself on a deeper level than this. Maybe one day, years from now, a new team of focused and intelligent producers, led by someone along the lines of Kevin Feige, will bring it back to life along with a well thought out and completely developed, smart and fresh storyline. I don’t know. For the time being though, it needs to go away for a while. I can’t even hate it, really. There’s literally nothing there to hate. It’s a hollow, lifeless, empty shell.
