Sometimes you wonder, how bad the script for Rise of Skywalker is.
But then you wake up and realise, that there could be an even worse SW-movie, if they greenlit Zack Snyders pitch
Rise of Skywalker <<<< the SW prequels, the last Jedi, John Carter, Valerian, Jupiter Ascending, Rebel Moon, Chronicles of Riddick, etc.
It's the nadir of Hollywood space operas, perhaps tied with Battlefield Earth. The plot is nonsensical from top to bottom, nothing fits, nothing works.
On par with Batman v Superman and Terminator Genysis.
Rise of Skywalker was still better than that crummy Dual of the Fates script some people keep praising.
Either way, rumor is going around that Rebel Moon is getting junked as a series after the DCs come out so no sequels. That's fine. This was a failed experiment and I completely get why Lucasfilm rejected it (rightfully so).
Part of the strength of Duel of the Fates is that it would have been a less racist plot. Abrams just made Finn, Poe, and Rose into dumb sideshow characters that ask stupid questions. A lot of people including myself wanted a story where Finn had something meaningf to do.
Genuine diversity in movies is something that I personally value highly.
