I give Rise of Skywalker a pass because they were put in an impossible position.
First, Rian Johnson rat fucked them with Last Jedi, painting them into a corner with no villain to speak of, killing Luke, and reducing the size of the Resistance to something that could fit in the Falcon... Like he forgot his part was the middle part.
And then Carrie Fisher died. :( 3rd movie was supposed to be "hers", just like Force Awakens was Han's and Last Jedi was Luke's.
So, not sure what they could have done here. Fisher did die during post production on Last Jedi, so they could have done an edit where Leia dies in space, Luke survives, and then give the 3rd movie to Luke... or... re-cast the role of Leia and do it properly, or as properly as you can do without a major cast member.
Did you forget about Kylo Ren, or...?
Kylo isn't the villain, he's the victim of the villain.
TIL being a victim and being a villain are mutually exclusive.
I have a dream where they cut out the completely garbage Casino Planet scenes from Last Jedi and use that runtime to finish the movie with the Palpatine reveal. It would've made Last Jedi a reasonably better movie, and more importantly given Rise of Skywalker a fucking chance to be decent.
"Add it to the movie so it makes narrative sense or... OR... now bear with me here... OR announce it in Fortnite, a game your key audience, Gen X, does not play."
Gen Who?
