Some spoiler-free TROS reactions. Like TROJ, there’s a feeling of rote inevitability to the proceedings. The hands of destiny clicking into place. What if once, one of these things ended in a way that was genuinely unexpected and surprising?

Also, for all my gripes abt this film or the whole new trilogy, I do like its handling of loneliness and found family. As a trans woman with no “real” family who still feels like she’s looking for people with whom she belongs, the broad strokes of Rey’s journey really speak to me

I think my favorite thing about the “queer representation” in TROS is how incredibly easy it will be to edit it out in markets that may not be ready for such a bold, powerful statement.

Mostly I wish that Rise of Skywalker had eliminated some unnecessary plot clutter and slowed down a bit more often to give its characters time to feel like actual characters instead of just clockwork automatons caught up in the machinations of the plot.

Yeah, Lucas gave us a nice limit on Saga prequels with the episode numbers. It's too bad it wasn't like "Star Wars Episode IV / IX: A New Hope" or something.
