10 Dumb Decisions In Star Wars We Can't Forgive
2. Episode IX - Everything In The Rise Of Skywalker
The ball of rubber bands that is Episode IX is so rough and messy, that to even attempt to untangle it is not worth anyone's time or effort.
It's hilarious to think that when the makers of this movie were at a loss on what to do with their script, they met with George Lucas himself for advice and... subsequently ignored everything he said. I say again - the filmmakers decided to ignore the creator of Star Wars and do their own thing.
And as a result, we received in no particular order...
Unexplained character resurrections, two MacGuffins, a kiss between two characters with zero romantic chemistry, three separate fake-out deaths, two separate occasions where ghosts offer advice, the sidelining of any character introduced in The Last Jedi, abandoning plot threads brought up in The Force Awakens and the most dastardly and unforgivable of all... Rey's pointless ancestry.
The whole film is a giant mess of dumb plot decisions. It's putting out a fire with a gallon of petrol. It's performing open-heart surgery blindfolded.
