Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - Honestly probably deserves it's own thread as the only other series that comes close to this is the Marvel movies and really those were just for the last two Avengers.
Letting it sink in a little, but my first overall reaction is that it was good, but not the great we were hoping for. Of all the movies to run longer this should have gone closer to 3 hours so it wasn't as rushed as it was do to them having to fix all the crap the last one created. Some surprises, but not really that much and the reveal and ending left a little to be desired on surface until you really think about it and how it fixes another glaring problem with this trilogy, but that moment could have been so much more and reminded me to much of the ending of another series. There were a few nice easter eggs to things all the way back to episode 4 with someone finally getting a recognition they deserved and some of the characters from the OT were in a perfect spot when they showed up. That being said it is spoiler territory so better to talk about after everyone has had a chance to see it.
On first viewing it's a 7.5/10. As always with things it could go up or down on next viewing, but man I wish they could have slow down to let some things develop better.
