I went anyway. And I am sorry for it.
The rise of Skywalker is, in short, just a convoluted mess of random scenes. I liked the Force Awakens, hated the Last Jedi but this is a whole new level of bad. It made me walk out right after the melt. And how creepy it was to see Fisher!
At least I'm glad it's over now.
