This sequel trilogy had zero heart or care put into it. It was just a cash grab. Nobody likes or cares about any of the characters or the stories told.

From there, the story leaps at lightspeed between set pieces, from an alien version of Coachella to encounters with fantastic creatures that rarely last more than a few moments. As the movie progresses, it makes less and less sense. Rise takes great pains to hastily establish answers and payoffs for mysteries established in The Force Awakens, waving away plot points from The Last Jedi with repeated dumps of confusing dialogue. Events that should be monumental are immediately undercut or undone, without breathing room for the audience to absorb what's taking place. Characters you thought must certainly be dead pop up later inexplicably unharmed, while others simply keel over with little explanation. Uncanny CG puppets of familiar actors' younger selves haunt flashbacks to better times. What should be the movie's most emotional moments are undermined by the weight of exasperating absurdity.

sounds like garbo

Precisely.

It's honestly not that hard to make a decent star wars story.

Spoil something right now, with a spoiler tag, that only someone who has actually seen the movie would know so we know you aren't full of shit.

Well it's a symptom of the bad decisions made in those movies. They try to course correct and it fails terribly. So many side quests and macguffins...classic JJ. So overall it is worse.

Wedge Antilles has a brief cameo in the space battle and Greg Grunberg's character gets shot down in battle. This was in none of the leaks.

Her parents are nobodies and they were killed. She is Palpatine's granddaughter.

How did they handle Leia?
Was it a good farewell to Carrie Fisher?

Cant wait to see The usual bunch defend this shit

They did the best they could do with what they were given. She was honestly not in it much at all. She dies the same time Kylo gets stabbed by Rey.

I figured she was related to palpatine, thanks.

Not even surprised. Don't think there was much JJ could do to fix Rian's royal fuck up
