I didn’t hate the movie myself, but it was sloppy and unnecessary (although all the Disney Wars films are guilty of these things). I think the only reason I didn’t hate it is because the sequel trilogy films have the most missed opportunities and are what I was really interested in seeing. The shoehorned in references are really fucking lame and not clever in the slightest, Han’s actor doesn’t exhibit any of his character’s traits (seriously felt like I was watching Tom Holland in Homecoming but instead this guy was “I want to be a smuggler!”), Lando did not exhibit the coolness of Billy Dee (even though the film tells you he’s cool and sexy before you see him lol), Beckett was boring, L3 needs no comment, Enfys Nest had cool armor but didn’t really do anything and was a lame reveal. Darth Maul was also a let down, they wasted their opportunity of a Kenobi film by having his last days in Rebels. Qira and her employer were just really strange characters, 3rd act was a clusterfuck.
The only positives for me in my book were Chewbacca getting more screen time; Rio (RIP went away too soon), and the new trooper designs (also underused).
