It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to.

And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
