This was a good ending to a long story of the Skywalker's. I found it to be a fun movie to tie the loose ends together, yes it had things that weren't explained and at times it felt rushed. But over all it hit home as a starwars movie.

I loved it. Lots of Action, lots of nostalgia, a great balance in the story, zero predictable, good jokes, 10 out of ten from me a 32 years old casual fan that have seen all the movies and haven’t really enjoyed too much episode 7 and 8.

After that it's loads of action, a great storyline, loads of nostalgia, some surprising and not-so-surprising returns, and possibly Daisy Ridley's best performance as Rey. Loads of fun for the whole family! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a HUGE fan of the Star Wars Universe ever since I was a child, these movies have a sweet spot in my heart. I think The Rise Of Skywalker is an AMAZING ending to an AMAZING series. I found my self jaw dropped, emotional, excited, laughing, crying, on the edge of my seat, I loved the fight against good and evil, the secret relatives, the rise of the hero and I’m going to say it, the NOSTALGIA. It brought a stronger and deeper connected between the old movies and the new series that was so beautiful. Like how the fight scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan in Revenge of The Sith paralleled between the fight scene between Rey and Kylo Ren. Where the lava represented death and the water represented life and in Revenge of The Sith, Anakin is finally turned to the dark side, but whereas in Rise, Kylo Ren is finally turned to the good side. I could name 20 more beautiful parallels and nostalgic scenes, but you get the point! Just think, what would Star Wars be without those attributes? That is what makes Star Wars, Star Wars. So for critics to say there is too much nostalgia, or too much resemblance between the older movies is like saying there is too much Star Wars in the STAR WARS movie!!

Not only was the movie emotional In so many levels, it was cinematically stunning!! When you look at a movie from a filmmaking perspective, the amount of people and work it took to create something as beautiful as that deserves a 5 star review ALONE! And no highly judgmental critic can fight against that. The redemption of Kylo Ren was by far the most powerful part of the whole movie and frankly, the whole series. Throughout the movies, Ben is just a young boy, fighting the demons inside his head. The amount of pain and suffering that you see Ben go through then to FINALLY see him free of it and turn into a loving and self sacrificing man deserves another 5 stars ALONE! His story is inspiring, moving and so FREAKING EMOTIONAL! It shows you that it's never too late and we all have the strength to fight against the evil inside of us.

Sure, I do have a couple complaints against the movie, but they are only complaints because I wished for them to happen, like how I wish we saw a scene of Lando Calrision seeing Lea before she died. I feel like that scene was very much needed. But it does look like Lando was able to see her, because he was already there when Po came back to the planet and talked to Lando. So inside, I like to believe he did, but still, I wish that scene was in the movie. Maybe its in the deleted scenes, who knows..

AND I wish in the last scene, when Rey sees Lea and Luke as ghosts, I truly wish she saw all of the past Jedi’s or at least the main ones, like Yoda, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ben as well. I feel like that would have been the perfect ending, since she is connected to them all. But these are just things I wish that were in the film, and like Abrams said, you cant please everyone, especially in a finale and you shouldn't even try when making a film. And for that, I understand and respect Abrams and Rian for taking the journey to even give us this new series. We should accept what was given, not just so we can be at peace, but so we can truly admire and love the story for what it is and not what it isn’t. ALSO!!! I would like to point out how I think that the movie is called “Rise Of Skywalker” not only talking about the rise of Rey Skywalker but also talking about the rise of Ben Skywalker!! Yes, Ben’s last name is Solo but his mother, Lea is Skywalker, so in my opinion, Ben is the true Rise of Skywalker since he rises to the good side and is finally free of evil in the end!!! And its the huge connections and deep meanings like this that make this movie get 5 stars. The beauty, power, emotion and hope of this movie outweighs all of the stupid critics who are just too judgmental.

I'm not going to call it incredibly thought-provoking (it's not) neither will I cite its incredible insights into the human condition (there aren't many), but what it is is a rip-roaring sci-fi adventure and a sprawling space opera epic that feels more akin to 1980s George Lucas than anything I've seen since. It's almost Spielbergian.

What J.J. Abrams brings to the table is an incredible love for the original trilogy and even the prequels. The movie is gushing, just bursting at the seams, with adoration and respect for this franchise. I mean, it's bursting at the seams in almost every regard—aliens, robots, explosions, ways in which one might use the force or a lightsaber. It's one of the frequent complaints critics are throwing at it. But if you sat through the last two Avengers films with no complaint, I don't think that should be an issue for the stalwart nerd. I don't think this movie erases The Last Jedi. In fact, I think it's nestled The Last Jedi a little deeper into my hard, calloused heart, as well as those awkward prequels.

When The Rise of Skywalker trailer started with all those clips from episodes I-VI, I'm not gonna lie, I was annoyed. I was like, "No, Disney, you're not going to manipulate my nostalgia and sucker me into yet another one your money-sucking mega franchise event films." Alas, J.J. Abrams has manipulated my nostalgia, as he always does. Someway, somehow, this stupid movie has made me fall in love with Star Wars all over again. Maybe not Solo. But definitely the canonical numbered films. It's a big blustery behemoth of a love letter to Star Wars nerds everywhere.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw the film on Dec. 23. I believed it wonderfully ties a nice ribbon to all 3 Skywalker trilogies. As a fan of the prequels, I liked how JJ Abrams made TROS similar to them, but with its own twists. The Rise of Skywalker was just a fun and enjoyable film to watch. Even though many very interesting concepts were just introduced in this film, I want to applaud to how Abrams tied all of it together, to make it the best that the film can be. The acting was phenomenal. My two favorite scenes are when Luke is training Leia and when the force ghosts are talking to Rey. However, I wish that we actually got to see the force ghost. It would've been such an emotional scene since characters from the past are present. The second half was my favorite. The first half was a bit slow, but be patient. I don't understand why many people hate it. A lot of the reviews I have read who hated Rise of Skywalker had invalid reasons or no reason at all. As JJ Abrams said...Star Wars is kind of like a family. Not all family members have to agree with each other, and so will trilogies or the franchise. It is a great movie, but the overall scores received are terrible. Although, that doesn't mean that the film is terrible. Audiences are overreacting. To all the people who are going to see TROS, do NOT get influenced by the bad reviews or coming into the theater believing its bad. Because if you do, you'll be disappointed. Expand

Yes there were some inconsistencies and plot holes, but as a long time Star Wars fan, I felt it was familiar, and part of the same tradition. It was also also inspiring and innovative. The way the storyline wraps up adds new depth to already complex and interesting characters and although one particular plot twist left a bitter taste, it was not enough to ruin the experience. The visuals, while still very much blockbuster-like, had more artistic ambition and there were many beautiful shots. Overall I cannot wait to watch it again. Expand

I didn't go into this expecting much. I didn't much care for The Force Awakens, or The Last Jedi, and I was kind of "meh" about Rogue One which everyone else seemed to adore.

But I absolutely loved Episode 9 :). Yes there was plenty in there and maybe some of it was a bit thrown together and the pacing was fast but I adored every minute of it.

I've always thought that Kylo Ren was a bit like a teenager on the bus with his music on too loud who I would have no qualms about going up to and telling him to turn it down. He just never gave me the feeling a Star Wars villain should, but I think in this film he really came of age and he seemed like he was playing the character he meant to.

Most of all though, we had our real villain back who I can take seriously. Maybe it's just nostalgia cutting through and giving me the warm fuzzies (although as I say, I didn't like Episode 7 or 8 much) but this film gave me all the feels a Star Wars film should, and it felt like it was a beautiful and fitting end.

And they say he made no brave choices? That was his brave choice. Risk bad reviews and make a Star Wars movie for people who love Star Wars - not for the people with film degrees. I love art films as well but this is ending Star Wars and I wanted this movie. Thanks JJ. Expand

I just wish this movie were a bit longer and less fast-paced and they includedWhile the film isn't perfect, and no film really is, in my opinion and a true Star Wars fan, it's really one of the very best Star Wars films of the past 42 years. I just wish this movie were a bit longer and less fast-paced and they included some of the other Force ghosts from the past, but it is what it is. And for that and the amazing story that's told, concluding not just this sequel trilogy but all three trilogies, I think we should all really be thankful. There has never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan. The cast and music and story...were great! Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren) really stole the show and that's a great thing! I say, totally ignore all the toxic fans and so-called "critics" that love to hate on things. Anyone who doesn't really like this film can't even really be considered a true Star Wars fan because how could they not want the story and the Skywalker Saga to have an ending after over four decades!? Everything comes to an end. Whether you like the story, some of the decisions made and the ending or not, it's your opinion. And that's all it really is. Star Wars is not yours. You are just very lucky to be able to enjoy these movies, all of us are very fortunate to be able to have had them continue on in the form of this excellent sequel trilogy. I hope the silent majority of fans, like the Rebellion/Resistance itself, rises up and posts positive reviews because if you don't voice your support for this film online, the toxic fake fanboys and their insignificant critics, will drown you all out. They want you to feel alone and isolated, even if you liked the movie or want to go see it. So go see the movie, enjoy it, love it (hopefully!) and post positive reviews to counter all the ridiculous negativity! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel the rise of skywalker is one of the best Star Wars movies released from Disney Star Wars and I give it a solid 8.5/10. Sadly, what ruins this movie is the fact that many fans, critics and general movie fans were already prepared to hate this movie before its release and according to my opinion, bad press and critics are to blame for this movie's poor ratings. I feel many fans and critics rate this movie on the basis of the last Jedi and I have to agree with them that episode 8 is what ruined the Disney Star Wars saga for good. I also find that many critics believe this move is a rip off of The return of the Jedi and I have to say the scenes that made Return of the Jedi so memorable among fans is the basic essence of this movie, and that basic essence which powers Rise of skywalker makes it a cohesive ending for the 9 film skywalker saga.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My personal complains against this movie... (minor spoilers):
I find the return of the emperor a bit odd as we all saw Palpatine being thrown down the death star shaft for good by his apprentice Darth Vader and was assumed dead but he is back, and the explanation for his return is a bit lacking.
The sacrifice of Vader seems as if it was thrown down the reactor shaft of the death star.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, Rise of skywalker is an amazing must-see movie and I recommend it to all fans of all ages. I also like to urge the audiences to “see through the lies of the critics”, and enjoy this film with an open mind. I would like to close my review by saying may the force be with you.

She wears her plot armor hard, but it makes since because as the darkness rises, the light rises to meet it. If Kylo, Snoke, and the Emperor are all still kicking around then it would make since that the light, Ray, rises to meet it. There it always balance in the force, unlike the fandom.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW: Star Wars Episode 9 was truly amazing. Every single scene was brilliant. The plot was very straight forward and you could really feel the looming threat of the Final Order. The pacing felt very right - an Infinity War sort of conclusion to this saga. Luke felt more like Luke, of course wiser on the other side, and the Leia scenes I thought were very very well done considering how much material they had to work with. The main characters were great, to have them all together at last, and their acting was just SO GOOD compared to the last two movies. Lando’s introduction was very well done as was his performance, and he was genuinely helpful this time. The new characters were great, they didn’t feel forced-in the way that Rose felt in Episode 8, and Poe Dameron and the bounty hunter chick was great. All the C3P0 and Chewy parts felt very authentically Star Wars. This movie echos a lot of classic Star Wars themes, like some small moments like when Kylo is about to defeat Rey in the water lightsaber battle, and how no one really dies when they fall into a pit (Darth Maul, Boba Fett) While they could’ve shown how he escaped in the first scene like Gandalf fighting Balrog it’s completely fine that they didn’t. That’s what the extended universe is for. Anyone that says Rey is a Mary Sue is brainwashed by our current politics etc. There were obvious things in The Last Jedi but this film on the other hand was completely free of pushing an agenda. Why does it even matter what sex the main character is anyways? Of course she is powerful, she’s the granddaughter of Darth Sideous. It’s a challenge even for her to hold such power in the beginning, but through meditation and training she was able to stay in balance. I thought that her accidental force lightning was a great example of how much raw power inside her she’s still learning how to control. I really loved how they did the Chewy dying scene and then showed the audience right after, and also how Rey was able to sense him, it was all very well done. Anyone that says that Palpatine was added in and wasn’t the plan all along: Look at the way Rey stabs her lightsaber in Episode 7 and then watch Palpatine do it in Episode 3. It was all planned from the beginning. The Snoke clones were awesome, and the true Emperor being the puppet master throughout the entire saga was genius. Palpatine returning didn’t really diminish Darth Vader’s redemption imho, because even if he didn’t kill the emperor that day he still saved Luke from getting electrocuted to death. The space battles were good, and when the fleet of people arrived it was certainly on a much greater scale then we’ve seen before (even in the prequels) and the lightsaber battles were intense and satisfying with them using the force to block etc. They weren’t choreographed as crazy as the prequel fights but definitely were the best ones of this trilogy. As far as fan service and nostalgia goes this film certainly had less than the prior two, none of it felt corny or out of place. The force being used to heal was another great part of this movie, it was just as cool as it was in the latest episode of The Mandalorian, and the Emperor using Drain Life on Kylo Ren and Rey was fantastic, as was Kylo using the last bit of energy he had to save Rey. It all felt very much like the force was like Chi now (Chi, Ki, Prana, Life-Force Energy, whatever you wanna call it) and I thought that was pretty sick. And I personally liked Rey using the name Skywalker at the end, felt like such a blow to Emporer Palpatine, that his blood line would use the name Skywalker instead! I guess I’m the only one that thinks that. This film has much more rewatchability than the prior two, and definitely did the impossible and made the sequel trilogy feel better as a whole. The Last Jedi has some really bad parts, and also some really good parts like Rey and Kylo using that connection Palpatine made and they learned how to do it so they still could after. Btw being able to teleport objects was a really sick addition to that, I could say that’s way more like Star Wars than the Holdo maneuver lol. I’d cut out parts of Episodes 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 and I honestly wouldn’t cut a single part out of this movie, every scene was fantastic. The kiss was great, it was built up over a period of at least a year after they established their mind Link in the last Jedi, I thought it was fitting that they kissed because Rey loved Ben Solo and he was finally just Ben now. Palpatine using Kylo Ren to kill the heroes that defeated The Empire 40 years ago was great story-writing, and ultimately this trilogy ended up being much better than if they just turned the Thrawn trilogy into movies. 10/10 Masterpiece Expand
