MOGU4 | While the First Order continues to ravage the galaxy, Rey finalizes her training as a Jedi. But danger suddenly rises from the ashes as the evil Emperor Palpatine mysteriously returns from the dead. While working with Finn and Poe Dameron to fulfill a new mission, Rey will not only face Kylo Ren once more, but she will also finally discover the truth about her parents as well as a deadly secret that could determine her future and the fate of the ultimate final showdown that is to come.
I will admit it has some great individual scenes, but they are sprinkled into a plot that makes no sense, a storyline it's nearly impossible to get emotionally invested in, and a third act that's so dumb it retroactively makes me like every one of Disney's Star Wars films a little less. ( )
I enjoyed the conclusion but with caveats. Which are the usual ones - why do we have to have so many flashing lights in films nowadays? and why do they have to never have the lights on? But it was inevitable that they would redeem Ben Solo - it was just how they would do that. The brief reappearance of Harrison Ford was an unexpected surprise. ( )
