For me, this has better ending for Rose and Finn, but a much much worse ending for Kylo, Rey, Leia, Luke, Poe, and Hux. That's not a high bar, but jesus this screenplay is a mess. Why would Leia reach out to Kylo if she doesn't believe in him anymore? Why does Rey offer him her hand at the very last moment? That seems like something a villain would do, try to kill someone until they get the upper hand, and then beg for mercy and pretend to care about them at the last moment. What does Tor Valum even do as a character? He doesn't have any connection to the characters, he doesn't have any reason to care at all about Kylo or any one. He just shows up to give Kylo a reason to do plot, then dies. At least Palp had connection to Rey and Ben, even if it was shoehorned. I'm also glad that Hux, who in the last film was just treated like a child, is now actually a child in this movie.
I disagree with Jenny that Rey's childhood would no longer be difficult if her parents actually loved her, she still faced starving on a dessert as a scavenger. Also grey Jedi is big dumb.
I know I could very well be wrong, but I am about 90% certain that this screenplay is not really and truly Trevorrow's.
Especially after mentioning the Darksaber and "Mandalorian Steel" it just screams that someone wrote this after watching Mandalorian...
But, then, I am one of the apparently few people who actually enjoyed Rise Of Skywalker so what do I know? ;P
Jesus Christ the Poe/Rey romance thing is godawful. Like, holy shit how unnecessary and out of nowhere.
awesome
