I don't see this film as a culmination of the Skywalker saga because for me the sequel trilogy hasn't justified its existence yet by delivering its own satisfying story. And to this point it hasn't really been focused on the Skywalkers at all. Which can change depending on what revelations are made in this film.

What this movie can do is end its own trilogy story on a good note and make the three worth watching because they add something to the overall arc. That's possible if TROS delivers some satisfying answers that tie in the two previous trilogies, making TFA and TLJ more watchable because we want to watch the journey to those answers and that conclusion. TLJ left off in a pretty aimless, meandering way that didn't leave you with much curiosity about where things would go from there. Hopefully a Palpatine plot breathes excitement into this film as well as the two preceding it. I'm really hoping it does.

I'm there opening night, and the excitement level is at a 10 regardless of where things sit going in. Its ####ing star wars, and it has a chance to be really good. That's worth getting excited about.

I will gladly welcome the space crawl on the big screen for my favorite childhood franchise in my life again. Even if I'm not sold yet on this trilogy.
