I watched the whole trilogy in one go so I can feel how clearly my attitude about the films went from "looking forward to this" to "God just be over already" as the minutes ticked by. By the third movie I'm only watching for Reylo and trying to skip pretty much everything else as fast as I could because everyone else is Annoying. Finn, the resistance, the whole supporting cast, who could have been interesting felt lacking and irrelevant. How do you expect me to sympathize with the resistance when they are just running away by the fraction of a hair with plans that don't make sense at all? And they could have been more relevant had they been given some better PLOT to make them likeable, but that is a missed chance now. Not only do the things happening in this film feel FORCED, the character deaths are all FORCED. Starting with Han back in the first film, pretty sure they made him die because Harrison Ford was too expensive but OK, I can swallow that. And now Leia and Ben/Kylo Ren are dead too? But Chewie almost seemed dead for a minute until he was totally brought back fine? Watching that didn't just annoy me, it ANGERED me. Kylo Ren actually made a great villain, very charismatic, but it feels like someone up there had a problem with him, so they decided to make him go dark to build up Rey as the Skywalker. Why didn't you just make Rey born into the Skywalker family then? Oh no, but instead she's a Palpatine. It would have been much more interesting and not eye-rolling if she was truly a nobody OR actually going dark Sith! Rey.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Rey. Props to Adam and Daisy for carrying this trilogy on their back. I think the dynamic between Rey and Kylo Ren is what got me sitting through 3 films. Hence why I'm mad at the fact they make Ben/Kylo Ren just DIE like that so easily when finally, their relationship could turn into the next stage and there would be so much potential in that. After 3 films I just want to say, can we please go back to Kylo Ren ruling the galaxy? Honestly, I'm rooting for him now. I wasn't at the beginning, but when the "good" side is so boring and annoying I'm FORCED to grab onto him as my life line.

I can't call this movie good. I yawned my way through the first half and when it finally started telling a story in the second half, I hated the story they told. I shouldn't be surprised from what they did in the previous movies though.

I just wish they respected the history of the movies and didn't try so hard to outdo everything that came before.

Unfortunately, this movie somehow reflects the way society's been going on for the last 15-20 years - the ever growing trivilialization, consumerism and regurgitation of works of genius from past generations who paid blood, sweat and tears for their works to be seen, heard and fealt - all of this now to get a quick buck at the local mall. Shameful...shameful...
