Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), directed by JJ Abrams

What a hot mess this film is. The dead rise again and again and again, to the point that it’s almost a zombie movie. The parts that use outtakes of Carrie Fisher from previous films just don’t look right and the script has very obviously been tailored around them. There are few surprises, as most plot points are heavily telegraphed. It is just not possible to be carried away by the story as there are way too many eye-rolling ‘oh really’ moments, many involving how people get to places and how they survive the many, many crashes and shootouts. Daisy Ridley as Rey is the best thing about the film; she does her best with limited material. The end of the franchise really deserved better, but hopefully it is now finally dead and buried.
