- The plot is fairly simple, all the characters must find the secret Sith planet with a hidden fleet of Star Destroyers being prepared to destroy the Galaxy
- Hux being the spy makes no fucking sense considering he set off the events in TFA, his sole motivation is to make Kylo lose(?)
- Rey's heritage makes sense in a way but Palpatine's plan doesn't
- Palps sends Kylo to kill Rey, while in fact near the end we learn he wants her to strike him down so she can become the empress. Kylo nearly succeeded in killing her if it wasn't for Leia, so why was Palps so sure it would go as he had foreseen (especially when he says he had not foreseen Leia intervening)
- The various locales and planets our heroes rush through are pretty neat
- Unlike TLJ all the character interactions in the movie work well. It's great to see Finn and Poe team up again with Rey
- Rose needs to look at some schematics or some shit, lmao JJ you wrecked Rian
- Lando is handled surprisingly well
- The death of Chewie was another 'cheap' Disney cop-out? Not to mention the lack of reaction of the other dudes that Rey just seemingly killed him "Wasn't your fault you blew him up with lightning Rey", errr it was
- In fact, none of the main characters seem to die except Leia who dies because she talked to Kylo? Why did she have to die?
- The battles are really well done. The saber battle between Kylo and Rey is very well executed, as is their rivalry throughout the film
- The massive space battle at the end is massive but doesn't always feel that way, especially when the back-up fleet arrives. At some points the flaming Star Destroyers just drop from the sky for no real reason(?)
- Why are thousands of Palps followers sitting in a stadium, what where they waiting for, why are they sitting there?
- Kylo vs. Palps is laughable
- Rey vs. Palps is neat, would've been better if they also had a lightsaber fight
- Kylo being dead and suddenly not dead and then dead again is weird and stupid, either the fall killed him or it didn't
- Finn suddenly 'feeling' the Force seems weird? Is he a Jedi or not? This is never followed up on but the signs point to yes
- Rey is a Skywalker, I liked that it actually works on 3 levels:
1: Leia/Luke in a sense are Rey's adoptive parents
2: She completely removes the Palpatine name from the Galaxy by using Skywalker instead
3: Her kids, should she have them, are Skywalkers too, continuing the Skywalker family name(which died with Ben) instead of Palpatine
- Kinda weird that no one in the film really elaborates why Palps is such a powerful/scary motherfucker, especially to those who weren't around in the last war
- Overall it feels like this movie should've been TLJ+TROS instead of just TROS. Leia training Rey is just making up for the fact that Luke never did. It even goes as far as to have Luke say: "I was wrong and made a mistake" when Rey decides to seclude herself
- In a way this bring Star Wars full circle. Anakin Skywalker was manipulated by Sheev to not be the Jedi he was destined to be but to join the Sith instead. Rey Palpatine was manipulated by Leia/Luke to not be the Sith she was destined to be but join the Jedi instead.
