The Rise of Skywalker came out 3 years ago today and it is a movie that still sometimes occupied my headspace. So, I felt the need to make a list compiling my thoughts about it.
My feelings are all over the place, but it's fitting because the movie is all over the place. I do ultimately like it despite it's problems, which I will mention below.
Things I like
The opening sequence is great. The way Kylo Ren approaches the Sith Citadel and Palpatine is seriously badass.
Exogol is an awesome planet in my opinion. I admit I'm a sucker for strong primary colors, though.
There is some really fun action sequences
The dynamic of the 3 leads is fun and they have good chemistry, especially between Poe and Finn.
Despite the lack of planning, the trilogy manages to have a thesis of “Where you come from does not define who you are”. Finn was a storm trooper for a fascist military junta, Poe was a spice runner for a crime lord, and Rey is descended from one of the most dreaded figures in galactic history. Despite this, they were all able to move past that, and become good people.
Rey Skywalker. It symbolizes how she truly found what she was looking for this whole time, a family, and she now has a found family.
Everything Kylo Ren
Lando. Just everything Lando. More Lando is only ever a good thing.
The moment of Poe expressing how he didn’t feel ready next to Leia’s body.
On an emotional level I found it satisfying.
The Han Solo cameo was a great and moving scene.
I think Sith Troopers just look cool
How in the final battle the skills of all 3 leads came into play.
Hey finally some Y-Wings and B-Wings.
Things I'm indifferent, come down the middle or am just iffy about
Reylo. It’s not that it didn’t feel built up, it’s just something I always found myself indifferent toward.
Rey Palpatine. While it serves the above mentioned thesis, I still have mixed feelings on her being a Palpatine. It does explain where her power comes from, but also it would have been interesting to just have her be a nobody.
Battle of Exogol. An awesome battle in concept, it just should have been longer in the movie with more shots of space combat so it really felt like a huge battle. What was there made it feel underwhelming.
Leia scenes felt awkward but that isn’t something you can really blame on the film makers, and they probably did the best you could ask for.
“Somehow Palpatine has returned”. It’s a terrible line but I kind of love it because it’s so terrible. Same applies to "They fly now"
Things I did not like
Xyston Class Star Destroyers. Especially after how awesome the Resugence class SD is, the Xyston feels lazy by comparison
All the stuff appealing to those that raged at The Last Jedi, which is what most of Beaumont’s dialog is
The insane pacing in the first half that didn’t give the big story beats enough time to land.
How it supposedly all takes place in the span of 16 hours. That is something my brain just can't accept unless it's not our standard measurement of an hour.
Lack of Rose.
Why couldn’t the Death Star II wreckage have just been on Endor?
Fake out deaths
That stupid freaking dagger.  Seriously that whole dagger was contrived as heck even by Star Wars standards and Star Wars is already very contrived.
The fact that the Disney execs were too cowardly to give us Finn/Poe
Ultimately tried to cram too much story into a single 2 and a half hour long  movie.
Why did they replace Kylo’s TIE Silencer with a TIE Whisper? The Silencer was so dang cool I don’t get it.

Hux: "They'll never find your body" is such a boring threat. I think a better threat would be, "they'll never stop finding your body." Phasma: "They'll be finding pieces of your body for at least four months, and you'll still be alive for three of them." Hux: Now that's threatening.

been thinking a lot about how much funnier TRoS would have been if instead of killing off Hux he escaped with the gang and was just kinda there in the background for the rest of the film

Hux: I can't believe you assassinated our Supreme Leader! Kylo: Well, "assassinated" implies I had political motives. I actually just killed him because he was kind of a dick and that's just how the Dark Side works. So technically, I just murdered him. Hux: That's not better.
