![]() ![]() The filmmakers feel like they're pandering to a vague hive mind of Star Wars fans, rather than making decisions for the good of the story. ![]() These were all bad storytelling decisions. ![]() Star destroyers are powerful enough to blow up planets. They also gave Hux a boss in the form of Richard E Grant's General Pryde, which was pointless, and at odds with the clear Hux/Kylo power dynamic established at the end of The Last Jedi. Bringing Palpatine back at all was a massive cop out – and a shortcut to arbitrarily declaring the nine movies as one big story. Rey being related to Palpatine is one example of that, but it also comes in the way that the movie abandons the idea of Kylo Ren as the main, irredeemable villain. Most of my problems with The Rise of Skywalker come from the way it undermines The Last Jedi, without having any better ideas of its own.
