This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been a rabid Star Wars fan all my life and I have to say that this movie was deeply satisfying. There were many surprises along the way that were not expected, especially the big twist of Rey being The Emperor’s granddaughter. I read a lot and listen to Podcasts on Star Wars and I never once heard anyone suggest THAT theory! It was all just a great way to tie it all up. On top of that, the visuals were amazing, there was good comedic moments, there were NO annoying characters dominating the story line, the score was sensational, there were plenty of geeky fan moments, the plants and overall atmospheres were awesome, the red storm troopers and ultimately the battle sequences in the air, in space, on land and with lightsabers were perfection. I will see this movie again and again just like I did in 1977! Oh, and I loved the fact that they revealed force healing in The Mandalorian on TV the day before this movie came out so there was a small connection to what we’ve all been following on the small screen. Amazing job Disney! I suggest that if anyone rates this movie in a negative way that you are not a true Star Wars fan and you just don’t get it. This is grand entertainment of the highest caliber. This is moviemaking, storytelling, artistry, technology, creativity, vision, and just plain old passion that Walt Disney would have been proud to put his name on. I’m sure his force ghost is standing close to all that made this movie and he’s giving two big thumbs up!… Expand

While it seemed like they tried to fit a whole sagas worth of movies into one movie, I thought that Rise of Skywalker was great! Surprised that they were able to end the trilogy with an actual story.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie with an open mind and knowing that Rian Johnson had created quite the divide and that J.J. Abrams had a lot to close in just one film. First off, I left the movie theater with a smile. The movie was a balanced pace and always kept me engaged. I dont know why people are always complaining about this film. What did you expect when Abrams had to start from where he did? People also need to have an open mind when it comes to the story. For example: some fans are mad that it ruins Anakins legacy. Did it though? He brought peace and balance to the galaxy for a long time. How long did you think that balance would last? Forever? The film also had a nice array of cameos from several people like Wedge Antilles, john williams, and on and on. Movie critics who dont know anything about the Star Wars universe need to just shut up and not even review the films. Again, from where this film had to start off at, it did a very good job of bringing the series to a close and the fact that it brought respect and dignity back to lukes character and the lightsaber is more important than anything else.… Expand

I went to the theater with low expectations. To me, no director could stick the landing with such high stakes. Somehow though, both my friends and I left the theater satisfied. Abrams had a choice between upending norms to please criticsI went to the theater with low expectations. To me, no director could stick the landing with such high stakes. Somehow though, both my friends and I left the theater satisfied. Abrams had a choice between upending norms to please critics (muddling the clarity that a nine-film saga desperately needs) and pleasing fans with a solid film. I've read reviews calling this "fan-service," but how can this be a bad thing when the support of fans is what has made Star Wars financially and artistically independent from Hollywood for decades. Another criticism sure to surface is calling Rise of Skywalker "predictable" or "lacking in imagination." First, I outright dispute the claim of lack in imagination, since I don't think anyone could have predicted where parts of the film went in terms of special effects and Star Wars lore. The second concern - predictability - is somewhat more valid. However, my question is: what else could you expect from Star Wars? From the start, George Lucas' goal in Star Wars was to distill the common threads of every human mythology into a universal and optimistic space opera. That universality is the cause of Star Wars' worldwide success. Think Rise of Skywalker was predictable? Operas are predictable. Get over it. Now, if we can all respect a style of story telling that has existed as long as humans can remember, we can appreciate the film for its actual content. Instead of focusing on conventional plot like community college art professors stuck in the modernist era, we can see that Rise of Skywalker has nuanced themes of morality and historicism. The most obvious theme is a historicist analysis of how tradition intersects with action. With the prequels ending in the Revenge of the Sith and the original trilogy ending in the Return of the Jedi, it is clear that the Rise of Skywalker is a statement on how to proceed into the future. Essentially, the saga functions as a Hegelian dialectic. The conflict between the Jedi and Sith produces a synthesis: the rise of skywalker (purposefully lowercase). The Rise of Skywalker proposes that we can respect and receive support from our past (a respect clearly not understood by critics chiding Abrams for lack of originality), but create new traditions and ways of thinking. Behind this simple moral truth that will be grasped even by the children in the audience (the true audience of Star Wars from day one if critics could ever remember the innocence of childhood), is a complicated and self-reflexive postmodern masterpiece that tells us that, despite the fact that the democratization of art has necessitated its simplification to its most universal form, meaningful new ideas can be produced. In lighter matters, I felt that, despite being an all-consuming finale, Rise of Skywalker still managed to be the funniest of the sequels. It helped that Abrams avoided the forced gags that made Last Jedi nearly unwatchable. Moments like Ren's 4th wall breaking "ow" seemed to reach a little toward the humorous self awareness that my generation actually appreciates. Babu Frik might be my favorite part of the movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rey didn't know who was, and the made her insecure, so She was weak instead Kylo know everything, he had a specific goal so was more powerful than Rey.
And in the final Palpatine remains the Only one sith and Rey the Only one jedi, so he rapreseted all sith but she rapresented all jedi and Rey won.
She didn't have Beverly really partents aso Luke and Leila are the Only Two person t'ha helped Rey like parents would do, so i think this Is the correct choose.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An incredible film that ties in perfectly with the lore of all the films. Just because we don’t see characters from older movies, doesn’t mean it doesn’t tie in to them. Themes and concepts dating back to RotS, were brought to the forefront in this film, and were tied in beautifully to the Story established in the sequel trilogy. Take the power over life for example. Ben solo proves that Love is the key to save the ones you care about from death, and gives his life to save Rey from death, thus succeeding where anakin failed. He finished what he started. And it shows why palpatine could never discover this secret, as he is incapable of love. This is just one of many things that tie all the films together. And overall, the story is thrilling, the score is amazing as usual, and justice is done to characters that were more or less neglected in the last Jedi.… Expand

I could pick fault in the movie and even agree to an extent with some of the harsher reviews. That been said, the decisions made by Abrahams and co, were a fraction of the infinite possibilities. He took it one way and no one was going to agree on the correct way, if there was one. Ultimately, he has made a fast paced, enjoyable, great looking, proper Star Wars movie. And boy was there a lot of Star Wars in it.

Great Star Wars. Abrams managed to take the franchise out of the fire. Final and terrific tour de force by John Williams with the soundtrack too.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie provided a very good wrap up to an epic story spanning decades. It is amazing that JJ was able to pick up the shattered remnants of the dung pile that was The Last Jedi, and create something that made me happy to be a Star Wars fan again. Well played JJ. PS - We all know Rose had no place in Star Wars, getting her out of there was the greatest accomplishment of the trilogy.… Expand

I must've seen a different movie than everyone cause I thought it was amazing. Everything I wanted and everything I didn't know I wanted. Star Wars is THE best franchise.

Kids in their 30s hating everything because they're dead inside from everything they hate. It's a cycle. Alcohol helps.
But this movie is better for real kids that still have life inside.

I agree that there was a lot of fan service, and it was a bit hurried, but I haven't had this much fun in a star wars movie since episode 6. People are saying that they don't even mention the things that happened in the prequels, and it doesn't pick up exactly where episode 8 left off, and to that I say, who cares? The prequels were a hot mess that did nothing but complicate things from The originals for the sake of giving an explanation for questions nobody ever asked for. And episode 8 was uninteresting, unsuprising, and completely derailed everything 7 had set up. At least this had some continuity to the overall arch. Look, this movie is not perfect. But it's fun. It's satisfying. It's Star Wars. If you like lightsaber fights, force standoffs, space battles, whitty banter, and classic good vs evil, you will LOVE this movie. Go see it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It had a lot of nostalgic and emotional moments to bring the saga full circle. I liked better than TLJ. The passing on the torch story with Luke and Rey was better.
Palpatine seemed forced in because of fans. They disliked that Rey was force sensitive and her parents were nobodies. So to explain how she was force sensitive they made her the grandchild of Palpatine.
It was fast paced and felt like an exciting Star Wars movie. It had spaceship battles, lightsaber duels, and Sith vs. Jedi. I'm ok with how it end and glad the people behind it isn't going to continue and Skywalker story.
Should stick story new story, characters and timelines to not such high expectations to meet.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched this film twice now and probably by January 8, 2020, I will definitely watch it again. To be honest, I really enjoyed the film so much, that I kept on listening that original motion picture soundtrack and also watching The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi again, just to see its cohesiveness in the whole sequel trilogy and the Skywalker saga. I also bought the novelization for The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens, and will definitely but this film's novelization. I got hooked on Star Wars again as you can see.

There was a lot of nostalgia and I pretty much didn't feel the fan service many critics and other fans were saying. I just focused on the whole story itself. At first viewing, I needed to digest all that's happened in the film, because there are a lot of things going on. But when I watched it again, it all makes sense now. And I pretty enjoyed indeed.

This is not the best Star Wars movie nor the worst Star Wars movie. That's a guarantee. But for me, this ninth installment really wrapped up the whole Skywalker saga. The irony though is that the title is THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (referring to Rey, originally a Palpatine but decided to take the name that really helped her in her Jedi training and her entire life), but this is the end of the Skywalker saga. I'm pretty sure there will be more stories about Rey Skywalker and I am excited for that one.

J.J. Abrams did a fantastic job in creating this emotional, breathtaking and epic conclusion to the franchise. A lot of jaw-dropping happenings, shocking revelations, awesome space battles and of course, the lightsaber duels are spot-on.

Without a doubt, The Rise of Skywalker is a roller-coaster ride and will definitely watch it over and over again.

I don't care about the mixed reviews on this. Abrams can't please anyone. I don't care if it opened at the box office domestically at $170 million dollars or something. This will hit a billion dollar mark and that's a guarantee. For me, this is a film to remember that will be passed on from this generation and to the future generations.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm aware that the critics haven't rated this very highly, but I truly believe it to be one of the best star wars movies yet. Considering the heap of issues it had to resolve from the last one, JJ did an excellent job at making an enjoyable storyline and keeping the whole thing entertaining. Whilst fast paced at times, this is more than understandable since they needed to redo half of the last movie too! I've spent almost the whole of the Disney franchise hating Kylo, and not in a good way. Sometimes there are villains you love to hate, Kylo wasn't one of these. I just hated him. And I've never switched my opinion on a character so fast that in this movie. It wasn't even down to the twist that happens, I loved him from the start. From an annoying character, JJ has made a genuinely sympathetic and confused guy. Loved it!… Expand

I honestly really enjoyed this movie, Rey felt less like a Mary Sue, Ben was the best character overall and they made one of my new favorite characters, general Enric Pryde. What I didn't like however was the fact that the Knights of Ren was barely used and they felt more like this movie's attempt at Boba Fett, also the ridiculous fast pacing. However other than those things, I really enjoyed this movie. Great job JJ.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think what was done in Star Wars the Last Jedi really compromised this movie to be what it was. The main **** in the eighth movie was to kill Snoke, because if we to compare Snoke was the Palatine of the original trilogy and Kylo Ren was the Darth Vader, meaning it was as if in the second film the Palpatine would be dead. This brought a tremendous challenge for JJ in this new star wars, he had to have someone bigger than Kylo and his solution was to put Palpatine in again, but JJ didn't have much time to explain everything, he tried to correct the **** done in the eighth movie. This movie didn't have the time needed to do something that would need to be done, to explain everything would take 3, 4 hours and the movie had just 2 and a half hours. In the midst of this complexity I think JJ did a good job and the movie shouldn't be getting all this bad review, for me this movie is 8. I'm sorry about my English.… Expand
