One thing I will say for The Rise of Skywalker on a rewatch: They leave more hints of Finn being force sensitive than it initially seemed. It’s still not enough to actually be effective, but you can see they tried

All this teeth gnashing about “plot holes” in The Last Jedi, but y’all are just fine with Kylo getting to Exegol in an Imperial-era TIE fighter? SMH

Also: If you’re gonna make the mistake of bringing Emperor Palpatine for no reason, at least let Ian McDiarmid chew some scenery. What a waste

Why even build a retractable roof for Sith Eternal Stadium, you’re never gonna play games with it open in that kind of climate. Waste of taxpayer funds.

Adam Driver is too damn good for this movie.

The way everything about Driver’s performance changes when he becomes Ben Solo is really great.

Gotta cop that Kylo Ren athleisure line, too. He looks great.

I appreciate the Knights of Ren joining Boba Fett, General Grievous, and Captain Phasma among the long line of cool-looking Star Wars bad guys who fans build up a bunch of hype for and then get wrecked after 49 seconds of screen time.

Gotta love that after being horribly disfigured trying to do his lightning hands thing at Mace Windu, he tries to pull the same trick with Rey. This guy is just a clown

Oh, so Darth Vader is a bad guy because he destroys all of the inhabitants of Alderaan, but Rey is a hero for killing an entire planet of Sith Eternal? Do tell

Shouts to the woman next to me when i saw The Rise of Skywalker on opening night who just shouted “NO!” when Rey and Kylo kiss. She’s the real MVP.
