*clap*There are persistant rumors that Disney knew how bad it was and orchestrated the entire impeachment thing to divert the attention from the fiasco.
As to the Rise of Skywalker...I think I got spoiled on the ending of a returned Palpatine killing Kylo Ren, him and Rey making out in what I presume is a deathbed moment, Rey being Palp's daughter/granddaughter, and then putting him down.
A lot of plot hole too from what I understand, not just in regard to the 2 previous trilogy( I am not talking about the expended universe, because they simply don’t care about it) but even within this trilogy.Better than I expected, but my expectations were oh so very low.
It was dumb, it wasn't Star Wars, it was trash fanfic but pretty trash fanfic.
Needed more Palpatine. Like 2 hours more of him hamming it up. Acting wasn't bad but the actors generally have never been the weak link. Just a really weak plot and bog standard generic progression.
Plenty of nostalgia nods again but far more blatant. One review said 'If the best and most memorable bits of your film are the bits of other films, you've failed.'
Wasn't offensive or malicious like the last one, just very dumb and shallow. Waste of time and money really, which sums up the entire sequel trilogy. it means nothing, it adds nothing, it is just there.
I suspect most plotholes exist because dear Johnnie-boy wanted to be "daring" and "subverting our expectations".A lot of plot hole too from what I understand, not just in regard to the 2 previous trilogy( I am not talking about the expended universe, because they simply don’t care about it) but even within this trilogy.
I didn’t go watch it, because I don’t want to feed the mouse, but that’s what I got from echoes.
You could put in the evangelion theme for that image.Ending spoiler image:

It has been pointed out on reddit that Rey is the perfect personification of your average USA white girl, and their cultural appropriation. Think about it: She's the descendant of the Palpatine line, she appropriates the name of the Skywalkers and various artifacts of them for herself, and worse, since she had a vision where she turned Sith, we have to assume that her bloodline is tainted with the Dark Side.In 2019, the resurrected Darth Sidious' greatest ambition is... to inhabit a woman’s body.
Emperor Palpatine: a beacon of trans representation in media.
