Last Jedi is amazing.
Rise of Skywalker is like someone filmed a particularly poor piece of fan fiction. This was really disappointing, not because it really matters, or that it somehow invalidates previous movies, but man, another director could have actually done something cool. Not with the current script, obviously, because holy shit...
Now, let the ritual of wrong and right posts begin...

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

It sounds like the leaks are true, and so
Rey is Palpatine's granddaughter
Kylo Ren gets redeemed
Rey and Kylo kiss
I haven't actually seen it yet, but I'd kept up with the leaks once I saw how bad they sounded, and by all accounts they were all true
I see the above posts have raised what I was gonna say so here’s an edit.
It’s been a long time since a story has beat for beat done the opposite of what I would have wanted. Which is perhaps on me, perhaps not.

So, it's not really the Skywalker Saga, it's the Palpatine Saga.
Unlike the Thanos comment, none of the above is a joke.
Sheev is the greatest.

....and despite Leia seeming to help train Rey in this movie and thus a justifiable bond (probably) being present....
....and despite Leia probably considering herself Leia Organa because Bail was a good father....
...Rey calls herself Skywalker. Fuck Leia, I guess.
Maybe she's still pining for mass murderer Ben Solo....and that's why she calls herself Skywalker.
....I obviously don't get it.

The hobbit being part of the rebellion, but just kind of hanging out, was weirdly distracting.
I thought Luke was handled okay.
Harrison Ford looks scruffy and old.
The fights are kind of boring and uninspired.
No one drinks directly from an alien. Fingers crossed for a Lucas special edition.
Those are my thoughts.

Everything else aside I saw that rumor a lot and it made me very mad. I really need it to not be true
Not that I saw....but apparently Finn might be force sensitive? Haven't confirmed that one.

Oh good.
Wait didnt Rey like remember her supposed deadbeat parental units, who were them fuckin people

Awful stuff all around.
Like her parents not mattering is a cool twist but I knew it wouldn't stick, and even Rian Johnson seems to have alluded to this in TLJ with the dark side cave and clones of herself and stuff.
Whether or not JJ pulled off the twist deftly is another conversation...
Also make cool new space ships. The new trilogy didn’t have enough new designs for spacecraft. That’s it, I’m out of this thread.
How does it make sense.

The dad was stabbed with an evil Sith rune dagger, though. (The dagger is of course a CLUE to finding the sith homeworld.) So he seems pretty dead.

Like it doesn't because it's a mess, but the seeds were always there that she was born "of the dark side" from the first time the lightsaber called to her and the visions she sees, to her going straight to the dark side in TLJ with ease. Whether it would be Snoke, Palps or some other dumb Sith Lord, Rey's parentage was always going to be connected to dark side in some way. It seems some people just got caught up in "Girl has powers she didn't earn! Rabble rabble" without really thinking about the Star Wars of it all.
finn has always been force sensitive, he's like humming with it in TFA. He's just not The Guy.

I think that makes a lot more sense to you than it does make sense in general.

From reviews it sounds like the movie discards/doesn't really address TLJ, so does that mean nothing is done with the kids who showed a bit of the force at the end of the last one?
that's the big idea, that's what was on the whiteboard and someone said yeah great one there JJ, perfect
