Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker *****SPOILER THREAD*****

That is Wedge in the turret, not Anthony Daniels.

The middle of this movie is a macguffin quest, just like in TLJ. How is it better?

Are you referring to the quest in the desert? As it was supposed to be Only Rey's quest, and part of that scene was Kylo's purpose to show her true powers and he did. Or was it another scene you referring? < But yes I agree that everyone need not go and loosing Chewbacca in the process being caught.

Or the quest to reset C3PO?

As for Rose, no comment. She shouldn't been picked imo. I wont go in more because is bound to upset people on either side.

Speaking of cameos, John Williams is the bartender when they are looking for Babu Frik

Hux must have felt a small pang of remorse for killing everything in the Hosnian system after his mad speech and decided to atone for his sins

Bzzzzt. Fail.

It had parts that I liked, parts that I hated and parts that just made me rolls my eyes. Overall not a terrible movie which is more than I expected. They tried to retcon a lot of TLJ (which they couldn't avoid) and it detracted a bit from the storytelling. The Holdo Manoeuvre explanation? Hahahahaha.

It's worth seeing even if you hated TLJ. It does bring it to a close.

And for those saying that only trolls and whingers disliked TLJ, it's very unfair to pass judgment on others just because they didn't agree with the path the franchise took. I certainly dislike that movie. Ep IX almost redeems the sequels. Almost.
