There are several people that are giving mixed or negative first social media reviews. What I can glean is this: While it seems like Rian Johnson went out of his way to shit on OT Star Wars, I think JJ will try to overstuff this movie with both the SJWisms the Disney demands to cater to the "new" audience and Nostalgia and fond appreciation for the OT that the "old" fans have. He is going to try to please both crowds and that may damage the overall movie. Part of that may have been the plan all along (and typically stupid and corporate, 4-quadrant let's protect our Billions invested rather than tell good stories), and part of that may be trying to recover from the huge dip TLJ took.

A truly great Plot Twist is one of the hardest things to pull off in fiction writing. Optimally, the writer will want to reveal the twist in a way where as much as the audience as possible is caught off-guard by it, but also make it a satisfying …

When you're reading a book you really like or watching a television show or movie in addition to the story you're getting all pieces that make up the whole. The characters, plot, setting and so on and with these cogs and sprockets you start to tinker in your head. It's where you start piecing together your own "wouldn't it be cool if" scenarios. You make predictions. You speculate. A story that is really good can give you all its pieces and then still really surprise you in a way where everything not only fits but fits even better than you had come up with.
Just wanting to be shocked, surprised, thrown off-guard is so fucking pedestrian. That's what you're looking for? Fine. Then give the fans something better than what they thought they wanted and shock them that way.

THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is like SERENITY (the matthew mcconaughey movie) in that if i told the plot you would think i was making it up or had had the plot relayed to me by a child after consuming 100 pixy stix
