What came out of that unimaginably difficult situation is a chaotic, manipulative and reactionary nostalgia-fest that desperately tries to tie everything together through a plot that is incredibly thin and exceptionally bloated all at the same time. Thin because the core of the second act action consists of a series of interconnected fetch quests with the goal of reaching a planet: not the most compelling narrative for the concluding chapter in a trilogy. Bloated because, after two movies that basically argue with one another on what this series is about, TROS has to work twice as hard to create a story with clear stakes.
