There's not much that I have to say about this movie really, but it is a delightful Christmas film filled to the brim with holiday spirit that makes the cut of the few Christmas films that I watch each time the season comes around.

This film is frustrating, because it feels like a reactionary response to the criticism that The Last Jedi received. Rather then choosing to let the story that Rian Johnson set up in the predecessor play itself out, instead this movie tries to do damage control by retconning nearly every revelation that made episode 8 unique and pushing aside characters who the fandom didn't rave about. Rose doesn't accompany the team on their mission, because she has to study. Can't she just pack her things and study while their traveling through hyperspace? Come on! Rey's parents were nobodys, but now sees the kinda sorta grandchild of Emperor Palpatine. Really? Oh yeah I forgot to mention, Palpatine's back. And that's not a spoiler because it's made perfectly clear from the crawls first sentence that he's back baby and with a whole new fleet of star destroyers with planet destroying weapons. How original. Seem like Palpatine, just like the film makers, are able to discern what tactics are most effect. Anyway why is Palpatine back again. Oh ok we need a new Snoke cause he was kinda chopped in half last time around so now we're going to resurrect the classic Star Wars big bad who Snoke was based on who was thrown down a shaft and blew up, sounds good. Face palm. But don't worry you can join the gang as they go to get the thing that gives them some information about another thing that shows them who to get the other thing that shows them where to go. And watch as the movie expects us to care when all the things go down at the end but really we don't and just want to movie to be over already so we can get the homework done. The only thing holding this thing together is the beautiful set design, cgi, acting, and everything relating to the character of Kylo Ren, but outside of that this film is a complete and total mess.
