Classic fans will love it – even if it is re-read
I’ll give it to JJ Abrams. He knows how to make a polished, eye-catching film so that Star Wars fans include all the elements they want. The Rise of the Skywalker is a relentless thrill ride that runs from one plot point to another and provides plenty of fantastic set pieces and nods to the elements of the original trilogy. Star Wars is back, I thought.
But here’s the thing about Abram’s films – they go away so quickly you really don’t have time to process what’s happening.
After the excitement of another Star Wars film subsided, and I had time to think about it, I realized that it hits the same plot points as Return of the Jedi. It’s not exactly a force read that Force Awakens was, but there are enough similarities that you can easily see the parallel structure. For some, especially fans who hated The Last Jedi, this may come as a relief. The Rise of the Skywalker Click and place lots of pieces in Force Awakens. It is ultimately produced and widely entertaining, even if it comes as predictable.

Nothing could save it
It was a strange experience for me. The first thing I did was dislike the Star Wars movie, since I don’t know if there was a way for me to be overly positive about this movie, since the previous two installments made me do very little to care about most of the characters or their woes. Did.
Some things I enjoyed: A great idea to jump multiple light speeds, the Emperor seemed disgusting and weird in the best possible way, and the “Ray Jedi Support” scene was some really cool fan service. But at the end of the day, you’re giving a promising performance of four truly talented actors who were thwarted by an absurd, misleading script.

The best from the new trilogy
I approach the Rise of the Skywalker with suspicion. I wasn’t a fan of The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi. But this last Star Wars has many similarities to the original trilogy and is a fitting tribute to the galaxy far away. There are plenty of jokes from Droid and Finn and Poe’s growing enthusiasm for bromance. There are very gentle moments. There is another “I know” moment of Han Solo. There are lots of action and fight sequences, and the horses climb up a spaceship! And Ray looks for his last name before finally choosing a better name.
Now, when can I expect to know where he came from?

The formula is strong with this one
The thing I never expected to feel in a Star Wars movie is nothing. Especially the final Star Wars movie. Especially with such a climactic cavalcade of cameos and spectacular moments, this movie is probably the most Star Wars movie of Star Wars. The Rise of the Skywalker boasted about some of the biggest moments and characters you’ve probably never seen – and I know I’ve seen every one of them look spectacular and cool and delight a lot of people – I just couldn’t care if they were off the list. Don’t mind the tick.
Whatever your feelings about The Last Jedi, you have to admit it showed that Star Wars films still have the power to surprise. The Rise of the Skywalker has no courage. Nevertheless, I admit this will be a very satisfying final for many dedicated fans. But for all the noise and rage, the protected and predictable The Rise of Skywalker is just remodeling deck chairs in Death Star.

Large buffet, little satisfaction
I’ve been a Star Wars fan since the Sixties, so when I don’t like a Star Wars movie, it always gets confused with me. And I didn’t like The Rise of Skywalker, though it didn’t betray the franchise in any way. I also reminded myself that this is not a great ending to the story of the nine films, it was shot in 20
