10 Movies That Pissed Audiences Off In The Final Scene

10. Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is easily the most divisive Star Wars movie since the prequels, with many fans expressing frustration that it took the most predictably nostalgia-baiting storytelling path possible, indicative of the sequel trilogy having no clear-cut plan before it got started.

While the majority of the movie is at least a watchable, passably entertaining sci-fi flick for fans who can excuse its rather ham-handed plot, it saves its most cardinal and insulting sin for the very end.

As Rey returns to Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) childhood home on Tatooine, an elderly passer-by asks her name, to which she replies, "Rey Skywalker," leaving a good portion of the audience groaning in second-hand embarrassment.

Understandable as it is that Rey wanted to ditch the Palpatine name, adopting the Skywalker moniker didn't feel remotely earned, but rather a lazy, excessively sentimental attempt to further tie the central characters together.

The ending would've been so much less obnoxious if we didn't hear Rey's reply, leaving at least something for audiences to chew on rather than pandering to the worst, most syrupy instincts of the fanbase.
