Moved past disappointment with STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER to anger. It feels like the film was very deliberately saying 'Fuck you for identifying with the difficult kid who was made to feel like an outsider; the scared boy whose rejection made him angry and embittered.'Permalink On Internet Archive

It feels like the film punishes me for my 'wrong interpretation' of the character. It's like Abrams always wanted Ben Solo to be a faceless villain. But Adam Driver's talent in TFA and Rian Johnson's writing in TLJ that made him more than that and Abrams used TROS to revert it.Permalink On Internet Archive

I think Abrams just wanted another Darth Vader and thought that making Ben the son rather than the father was just a fun inversion of the original trilogy. But he didn't appreciate how Ben being the son changes the power dynamics entirely.Permalink On Internet Archive

Anyway, I rewatched THE LAST JEDI and it made me feel more in the first five minutes than the entirety of THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.On Internet Archive
