Last Jedi was so angering that it killed all desire I had for watching rise of Skywalker, rise was the only star wars movie I've ever skipped, and still haven't watched.

When instead of sacrificing ackbar, they kill him in the background and we're supposed to care about the sacrifice of this random purple haired woman we've never ever met before and just shows up to die? Should have been ackbar or Leia or even wedge. And one thing I liked about TFA was the budding relationship between Rey and Finn, they had great chemistry. Then suddenly you separate them for the whole second movie, add a second love interest that's awful and for some reason Rey likes Kylo? The fuck??

I feel really bad for Rise of Skywalker, it was really in an impossible position.

First, Last Jedi painted them into a fucking corner. It was like nobody told Johnson he was making the middle part of a trilogy.

Second, what little structure the trilogy had was 7 was about Solo, 8 was about Luke, and 9 would have been about Leia, but then Carrie Fisher up and died. :(

They had to really scramble on the 3rd one and losing the original writer/director didn't help. Abrams had to come in after 8 shit the bed and Fisher died and tried to make the best of it...
