Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker-6/10

Meh. Big meh. Felt like a jumbled, over stuffed mess racing to get to its ending. The Big reveal that ties Rey intothe heart of the Skywalker saga is admittedly lame and is a complete u-turn from the overall theme of the second film.

Palpatine being back never tried to make sense or explain itself. Kylo Ren just kinda happens with no build or gusto to his arc coming to a finish, Leia was useless, and was more of a hindrance to the story by being forced into it.

It didn't feel like it retconned everything from TLJ, but it did feel like a conscious change in tone and direction and because they chose a completely different direction, instead of building off the last film, this one feels disjointed and not like a sequel at all.
