It feels like a 4 hour movie that got shrunk down to 2.5 hours made by a team of people who only read the cliff notes version of Star Wars cannon. Oh and there's about a dozen deus ex machina moments sprinkled in that don't make any sense and cause massive plot holes. If you're wanting to watch Star Wars for impressive special effects, you'll probably enjoy the movie. But don't expect good fight scenes, lightsaber battles have poor pacing and it looks like they're welding massive broadswords half the time because the movements are so slow and basic.
