VERDICT – 0/5
PROS –
1) The rebels led by Rey finally defeated the Empire and a resurged Palpatine.
2) Lando arriving with the armada.
3) The voices of several past Jedis giving Rey her strength back to fight Palpatine.
CONS –
1) A feeble end of the Skywalker saga. JJ Abrams trying to recreate a fan-favorite climactic scene at Tatooine with Rey was definitely not an apt ending for this epic saga.
2) An epic movie demands epic sacrifices. Here Rey was already killed but brought back to life by Kylo Ren, C3PO got his memory erased but R2 got him back, Chewbacca apparently got killed but he got back too.
3) Leia uneventful demise.
4) Rey being Palpatine’s granddaughter didn’t add up. This twist doesn’t make any sense.
5) What’s the point of adding new characters like Ochi, Babu Frik, Zorii Bliss, etc. in the concluding episode? It only added extra 30 minutes to the movie.

C-3PO: In the event, I don’t make it back, I want you to know you’ve been a real friend, R2. My best one, in fact.
