I watched The Rise of Skywalker. It's not brilliant and doesn't break any new ground, but it's much better than I expected. The trappings were great, and the emotional beats were solid. The plot was a bit of rushed nonsense, but it held together enough. The climax wasn't that great, but the denouement and the wrapping up of the various plot and character threads were better. They powered up Ren too much, but, to be fair, that did that to the other force users as well (it wasn't her uberpower during the finale). The nostalgia got a little heavy for my taste, but it was integrated fairly well. The dialog was functional at presenting information and reinforcing characterization, but not a single line rises to the level of poetry. The acting was sufficient. It's not memorable, but it is watchable.
