    The pacing isn’t great in places but nothing is so jarring as to interfere with my willing suspension of disbelief, and the story didn’t feel beat-for-beat the same as basically the rest of the franchise.

    Yeah, that’s basically how I feel about it. TLJ was better than the other two sequels and at least one of the prequels if not more. It wasn’t amazing but I feel like I need to defend it with both hands the way people came after it lol

    AotC at least had the neat space-opera-noir thing for part of it where Obi-Wan was playing detective

    Yeah, that was pretty dope. And I guess the Battle of Geonosis was pretty cool. But while it had some cool moments, they weren’t very coherent.

    I can’t think of anything redeeming about Rise of Skywalker.

    It was a visually beautiful film. But that’s about the best I can say for it.
