Watching this reminded me of David Carradine movie Future Zone (1990) because of "mystery parents" plot mixed into general unambitious laziness. Rise of Skywalker in other hand reminded that there are more worse ways to go out than auto-erotically asphyxiating one self.
Almost every positive thing found here has to do with technical qualities of the film. Unfortunately frantic but still uneven pace wont let one to appreciate the skill that has gone to the locations, sets, costumes and such. Movie spends most of the time rapidly skipping from one scene to next, sometimes clearly forgetting some plot points on the way. Yet somehow movie finds time to indulge needlessly long expository dialogue scenes that fail to deliver anything else than telegraphed plot info.
There is no real plot, no real characters and even audio mix somehow misses the mark. Star Wars should be better than this and fans deserve better.
