I have been watching these movies since I was 10. I do not read the books or comics or watch the animated series. I really enjoyed The Rise of Skywalker and it had some great moments in it that made me smile and even yell out "finally" at one point. I did also cry at one point. It was a fun movie and I don't have any issues with it. Some of the uber-"fans" take things a little too seriously.....it's a movie and a fun one at that! Don't over-analyze it....enjoy it for what it's worth. May the force be with you!
