Rise of Skywalker stands as maybe the worst movie I’ve ever seen. It’s the rare big-budget blockbuster where you can actually watch the thing fall apart right in front of your eyes. I swear they filmed the first draft of that script. It also feels like Abrams tried to cram his ideas for Episode VIII in there too. Just an awful, awful film that makes Attack of the Clones look like a Kurosawa film in comparison. And that’s really saying something because Attack of the Clones is a bloated mess of a film that is only saved because the casting director is a genius (and, though “fans” hate it, few things match the absolute delight of seeing a little kid’s reaction to Yoda rave-dance fighting after growing accustomed to him as a feeble old muppet–this effect is highlighted if you watch the films in either release or Machete order)
