The best of the trilogy. Had a grin on my face throughout and an emotionally satisfying end to the Skywalker saga.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The strenght of the movie clearly is the emotional journey that spreads all along this intense & spectacular adventure of epic proportions. It takes place 3 years after the events of "The Last Jedi", thereby all our main protagonists have evolved and now all have to deal with the return of a familiar face : Palpatine.

The struggle between the light & the darkness has never been so vivid. Our bloodline can or can not define who we are, because at the end of the day it always comes to our own choices anyway. And it's never too late to change the course of events ; as long as there is life, there still can be hope.
Keeping alive a strong belief into this hope : that is a central theme of the entire movie. The love, the empathy, and the will to work together for a greater purpose.

Another aspect that is immense and the heartbeat of this final episode, is the deep link between Rey & Kylo/Ben... With the influence of past mentors & parents to bend the destiny in a precise direction. And despite the doubts that litter the story and the destinies of our protagonists, all these connections make this film a wonderful ode to symbiosis/working together for a common benefit. Which always is the key to the development of life itself. And it very much is what the force is meant to be. Because without life : it's nothingness.

The new additions (characters), plot twists, and even the cameos, all play an important part in the progression up until final chapters of the movie ; the "grand finale". And having Ben back to life, thanks to Leia's sacrifice (the life of a bright soul in exchange for another soul to be redeemed), in addition with Han's heartwarming words... Luke giving Rey a nice push, with light side teachings that are as well heartwarming.

Rey facing her dark destiny, but by always staying faithful to what she believes in. And Ben finally back to light in a most epic way. Those are emotional bits that can give you so many chills... The gorgeous space battle brings a grandiose epicness to these last scenes, with all these ships and people unifying for a common goal. All of this in the name of the peace for the galaxy as a whole.

How not to talk about all the Jedi in Rey !... Giving her the only thing that is powerful enough to erase the Sith once and for all, which is : the unity. Which is something that the Sith are incapable of doing. The rule of two is the result of the selfishness that is an inherent trait of what being a Sith is. Each Sith wants the unlimited power, and he wants it all for himself. While the Jedi always consider the benefit common to all... And having Rey, who is a Palpatine by blood, but a Skywalker by heart (as referred at the very end of the movie, btw), being the tip of the "lightsaber" ; it is quite simply a moment of relief.

Ben's death divides the audience, but he found his redemption (after all the horrors he has commited) by giving his life in exchange for Rey's, who unlike him has not fallen to the dark side. Yes, Ben would probably have deserved a funeral and/or a force ghost... I can agree with that, but I don't fall into the hatred bandwagon because of things that I consider as details. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see new/future editions of the movie, including such things. But I also would be fine if it stays this way. Why ?... Because Ben has played his role in all of this, in the best possible way ; and to me that's what matters the most. Plus we have Rey coming back to Tatooine, right in the Lars homestad (which is a truly peaceful moment to witness)... Paying hommage to Leia & Luke, and marking this new era of peace by leaving their two lightsabers at rest. What a soothing symbol it is.

The last scene satisfied me even more, with Rey now having a last name that defines who she truly is... Which is the disciple and in a sense the spiritual daughter of both Leia & Luke, but also the lover of Ben Solo/Skywalker who gave her a new life (resurrection/rebith). And what a sweet feeling to see this yellow lightsaber which evokes the Jedi Temple Guards, because in a way, Rey now is imbued with the role of Guardian of the Force itself...

How satisfying and soothing all this movie was to me. All these deep & intense emotions... But also lots of memorable scenes of a visual standpoint ! With new planets, locations & settings...or revisiting places like the Death Star we know so well, but now in ruins... The lightsaber fights were imbued with these emotional vibes that can be felt all along the movie, and looked really cool (I mean, it's Star Wars) ! Also, Finn & Poe of course, but also Chewbacca & C3-PO : the secondary characters all have a moment to shine and play a pivotal role for the greater story. I don't forget Leia and the wonderful way they smoothly integrated Carrie Fisher in this movie, building scenes around her performances. Lando & Palpatine coming back, were a great fun, and hearing all the past Jedi voices was a magical feeling...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definetly one of the worst movies of the new trilogy.
Too fast paced, somtimes very fast cuts that don't allow the audience to breath in some dramatic scenes. On closeups the overall picture quality is good and sharp but wide shots suffer from a bit of blur in the 3D version of this movie.
Story wise the last movie gets cancelled out and it seems that J.J. doesn't want any other director to mess with his trilogy. I feel especially bad for all the side characters that got cut down in their roles. The ending would have been better if Ray turned dark, killed the emperor and kylo fought her in an epic lightsaber battle.… Expand

I do not believe it undoes much at all about TLJ, but in fact complements it very well. I think it does many aspects of the saga justice, and others not so much. But overall, the film succeeds and provides a rousing adventure that I was extremely entertained by. I think a lot of people want this movie to be something it's not. The acting is superb. The writing is not flawless, but if you really analyze any movie in the saga, you'll find them to be a mess, even the OT that I grew up with.The plot makes perfect sense, though. I don't know why some people find it "broken" as I've read.. It's not a genius plot, but it's not even CLOSE to a failure. I will be seeing it again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know I am in a minority when I say I really enjoyed The Last Jedi, but when I watched this, I felt cheated as aside from a few very major plot points that could not have been ignored, it was mostly whitewashed over. This movie felt like it was trying too hard to accomplish 2 movies worth of story and action into a single one which truly destroyed the pacing of it and made my enjoyment so bad. From the opening text crawl which straightaway introduced the concept that Emporer Palpatine was back ruined it as there was little to no connect between this and The Last Jedi to get that he had returned. And the fact that the trailers had ruined that big return made it just bad. The first half of the film was flying between story points to try hard to rush so much in so quickly and there was just no time to really take it all in and my brain felt like it was being put through the spin cycle on a washing machine. Once it settled down and we got to the big battle towards the end, it did find its pace and place and felt much better, even if there was too much plariarism from Return of the Jedi and Avengers End Game.

In my opinion an easy fix that would have made the movie so much better and much more shocking would be the following.

1 - Don't ruin Palpatines return in the trailers
2 - In the opening crawl, don't mention Palpatine but just a deadly message from a believed dead enemy has both the Resistance and First Order scrambling
3 - Once Kylo Ren has the Sith Wayfinder and hits Exogal, have him come face to face with Palpatine, but we don't see or hear him and Ren just goes, "But you are supposed to be dead"
4 - Have no reveal of Rey being a Palpatine, just hints with "your not who you are due to blood, but due to actiosn" etc
5 - Rey arrives at Exogal to face whoever the big bad is and we find out it is Palpatine (big reveal great and shocking). Here Palpatine explains about Reys parents and that she is his Grand-daughter.
6 - Much like the film with Kylo and Rey combining etc to defeat Plapatine. 7 - No bloody kiss!!!!!
8 - Kylo lives and Rey dies(another big shock no one would see coming)
9 - Kylo returns to being Ben and goes to Tatooine to bury the Lightsabers and takes the name Skywalker as is his family name. Now I know I have been very critical of this film, but it is the Storyline that has the biggest issues to me. Too many plotholes and paced so badly. And I would say maybe a little too much fan service.

But on the plus side, I felt the acting in this was probably the best of the sequels and the actual directing of the film was good. Plus as you would expect from Disney, the visual effects were brilliant. Some little cameos were nice, like Wedge and Nien Numb.

Overall I have to say that this was a terrible way to close a 42 years 9 film franchise.
If JJ Abrams had been given all 3 films or if 3 different directors had the films, it might have been much better from a storyline basis. As it is, it feels like JJ Abrams tried to connect his 2 films together while disregarding the one he didn't do.… Expand

Is this the best movie in the saga? No

But this movie does not deserve the scores from fans who clearly watched the movie with the intention of hating anything it would be.

Most of these scores don’t seem to be able to pin-point why exactly they hate the movie other than ‘Star Wars was ruined’.
If they want to blame any movie, it is The Last Jedi to blame.

With what The Last Jedi left for us, which was essentially the same overall plot of Empire Strikes back, except without the lessons from that movie and instead with our favorite Jedi, Luke Skywalker ready to give up on all of his friends and morals.

At the end of the last Jedi movie, with Luke gone, no threat from the First Order since Kylo was a wuss the entire movie. He literally lost to a force mirage and Rey with no training or understanding of her power. And Snoke killed off for no real reason, there were no leads left at the end of the movie to follow for JJ Abrams to use.

So with what JJ Abrams had left from that movie, he made an amazing and surprising attempt to re-right the ship that was the last Jedi.
This movie is far more detailed than people realize, people saying it un-did things in the original or prequel trilogy clearly need to watch it again with a different mind set. If anything this movie stood for everything they did.

Now could this have been a better movie? Yes

But it was held back by what the last Jedi left it with, and that is why it is so fast paced. In reality it should have been two movies. One of the movies replacing the last Jedi. Instead, JJ was left with trying to make a movie to end an entire saga, and new trilogy with nothing of use. He literally had to put two movies together in one movie to end many stories, bring us a new villain since Snoke was dead, give us a huge threat to the galaxy to stop, give us a reason for Reys amazing power, give us a satisfying ending that justify’s Anakin bringing balance to the force in Return of the Jedi, and trying to fix our favorite Jedi and his principals and morals Luke Skywalker.

What this movie did and pulled off was almost impossible and it succeeded with what it had to do.

I just wish if anything The Last Jedi could have been redone, if that had been done we could have seen a very different plot, and dove deep into places we have never been.… Expand

The Rise of Skywalker tries to distance itself from The Last Jedi and feels like a direct sequel to The Force Awakens. Not surprising given the director of this installment, the backlash to The Last Jedi and the corner that installment painted the sequel trilogy into. I consider The Last Jedi to be a parody. A farce. Mocking itself, mocking Star Wars, mocking certain characters and mocking the audience. How very subversive, but that's not what Star Wars is for me and for many others. Star Wars follows in the tradition of myths, Greek myths amongst many other mythologies and philosophies etc. The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. The Hero's Journey. There's humor throughout the Star Wars movies but Star Wars is also grounded in its own reality and takes itself seriously overall. The Mandalorian is back to basics, feels very like Star Wars and has proven to be successful. The Last Jedi tried to deliberately break with thousands of years of traditional storytelling and broke it. The Rise of Skywalker is entertaining in places, but I cannot escape the numerous plot holes rendering it as too incoherent. Head scratch. There are inconsistencies throughout the Star Wars movies including the original trilogy. I grew up with/on the original trilogy, I wasn't and am not a prequel trilogy hater. Crucially for me, bringing back Emperor Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker; I do not agree with this current trend of 'revisionism' and especially 'revisionism' of the Star Wars mythos. I will not be watching any of sequel trilogy ever again. The Skywalker Saga ends on the forest moon of Endor, preferably to 'Yub Nub.' “(Star Wars is) political in a sense that it has a foundation in historical politics — the rise of dictatorships, the death of democracy — but it has never tried to take a stand on present-day issues,” former Lucasfilm executive Howard Roffman. Everyone and anyone has the potential to become a hero, and can take the Hero's Journey. The path does not go through hypocrisy and or by stepping on others to get there.… Expand

From a story comparison, TLJMight seems like a troll post but this is by far the worst Star Wars ever and haters of the last one are to blame. The Last Jedi wasn’t that great and had its flaws but my god is it better than this dumpster fire. From a story comparison, TLJ is a masterpiece compared to this, nothing to be worked in her and just goes to show you that the plan for this trilogy was completely half added and that ticks me off. I’ve loved this franchise since I was six right before the specials editions came out and been watching it since. I’ve never truly hated a Star Wars films but I have been bored with films like solo. I truly hate this film and has made me push this saga down the list. A lot of aspects in this film don’t lineup and ruin the other two films. Watching the other two films will be hard now because if leads to what? A prequel level rehash of the return of the Jedi? But, way dumber and goofy ass moments that feel like it’s from a B level sci-fi franchise rather than a billion dollar one. This film panders to the lowest common denominator. This transformer type of people that love that **** General audiences are to blame for this failure of a film. It just goes to show you the ineptitude of Disney and the brilliance of one. Disguising real filmmaking with a flashy, fan service, and nostalgia to trick people into thinking the film was good. This will 100% be the phantom menace of this trilogy and people will finally wake up to realize how much of a joke all this was. It all leads to disappointing nothingness while masquerading as a real love letter to the franchise. In the end, this film has turned me away from anything Star Wars and won’t be seeing anything of theres again. Unless they really change thing around. But, this is Disney. Tricking the public with big business operations to pony in money instead of making a good product. Money over substance. Obey.… Expand

Very few things make sense and it shows that they have no idea what Star wars is about. Luckily, Jon Favreau is working his brains out trying to save star wars with the Mandalorian.

The music was good, the visuals were amazing. the acting was perfection. But... the writing... the writing was literally the worse fan fiction one could think up.

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 just a shame JJ didn't direct and control the direction of the trilogy, as the franchise was almost completely scuttled by TLJ. Thankfully we had the marvelous Rogue One and SOLO movies to see us through. If you haven't seen those by the way, do so now.
Rise of Skywalker manages to undo most of the harm done by the feckless TLJ and would appears to have managed to steer the series into a great climactic ending. It's no use me reviewing the film scene by scene, others have done this, plus, lets face it, many of us feel we own the Star Wars franchise and that's why we're all so passionate about it, so my opinion among so many others means little. Suffice to say, I've seen every Star Wars film on its original release over the last four decades, and still remember seeing the first one at Staines ABC cinema in the UK in 1977. To this day, Star Wars excites me as much now as it did that young boy 42 years ago, and I'm not done with Rise of Skywalker yet. Having already seen it twice since release, I have two more viewings planned with other friends, and one of those will be at the London Waterloo Imax cinema. Rise of Skywalker closes out the nine films series with action, fun and a lot of emotion. Go and see it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ходил на фильм с другом один из первых в России. И могу сказать, что это достойное кино, с некоторыми изъянами! Завершение саги, которая длилась более 40 лет... Звучит очень серьезно и ответственно! И по моему мнению, нельзя было Абрамсу доверять снимать такой фильм. В фильме мне все нравится, кроме диалогов и режиссуры! Вот зачем было вставлять момент, где в эпилоге фильма Финн со своей новой подругой скачут на лошади по кораблю. Этому фильму не хватило серьезности, везде какой то сумбур: то весело, то мрачно. Мне очень понравилась 7 часть Звездных Войн, так что мешало Абрамсу перенять настроение своего фильма? И самое тупое, это как Рей подходила к тому, что ее дед Палпатин. В 7 части мы узнали, что Кайло Рен сын Леи и Хана Соло, и узнали мы об этом без особого фанатизма! Все было идеально, Абрамс все очень круто продумал, а в 9 части так сделать почему то не смог :(
Теперь о хорошем. Мне понравился сюжет, актерская игра, графика, и больше всего мне зашли способности Рей! Какая же она имбовая! Я считаю, что Абрамс мог справиться намного лучше и профессиональнее! Хотя бы сделать фильм серьезным, а не посмешищем! А еще Абрамс мог лучше сделать финальную битву. Он мог представить хотя бы 10 известных нам джедаев в виде призраков силы, которые дрались бы плечом к плечу с Рей против Палпатина! Представьте как круто было бы увидеть Йоду, Люка, Оби Вана, Магистра Винду, и других крутых джедаев из 1, 2 и 3 частей! Но вместо этого мы услышали какие то голоса и финальный бой, который длился 8 минут! Это позор! В итоге поставлю рейтинг 6.5, потому что это нельзя назвать очень плохим кино, приятные момент в фильме присутствуют и их много!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The experience was much like the last two movies to come out. At first, you feel like you're having fun. After the nostalgia wears off and you start to THINK about the plot and the characters even a little bit you quickly realize this movie, much like the last one, ruins Star Wars with its horrible plot holes. This is truely something I'd expect to see written on fanfiction.net by a 14 year old. It truely is a horrible contrived experience. The actors I have nothing against, they did the best that they could with the material.

The parts of the movie I enjoyed were small general themes. Moments between Kylo and his family, and moments with Poe Damron in the end.… Expand

This is a movie with total disdain for the audience. The mystery box was empty all along. There is no story, only meandering plot filler, almost as if the writers were procrastinating having to come up with interesting story ideas so they kept delaying the true story elements by extending the convoluted plot until the very last nonsensical confrontation. Imagine the plot of Empire eating up the entire film to get Luke to Dagobah through a series of item quests instead of having Obi-wan merely show up and say "You will go to the Dagobah system." They use the Force in this movie in every contrived, fantastical way possible (it's more magical than mystical now) and yet they never use it as a device to simplify the plot. This movie is unfathomably stupid.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The biggest problem that this movie suffers from is having to deal with the absolute mess that The Last Jedi was.

But apart from the “fixing” of TLJ’s mistakes, the movie on the whole was really solid. They brought back the characters in a way that felt true to their nature, and gave an actually meaningful arc to the story. The only other big issue I have with the movie was - spoiler - Rey and Ben kissing at the end. That felt so out of place and I hated that they added that in. What should have happened is that Ben just disappeared whole Rey touched his face, but they for some reason felt the need to add a kiss. I’m hoping that a directors (Or fan’s) cut will be released with that change implemented. But other than that this was probably the best movie of the sequel trilogy.… Expand

What this means for fans is at the very least a feeling of betrayal, and being literally robbed of an honest continuation of a story that we have all invested in, and which has become a cultural treasure. I cannot even rate this film with a score of 1 or more because it is absolutely NOT an honest continuation of the original trilogy or prequels. It is corporate vandalism, and deserves a 0.

By the time Abrams decided to slow down and do some actual character development in the second half of the movie, my senses were too battered to take any of the rest of the movie in. I wanted to walk out at that point, but stuck with it only so I'd know what happens without having to sit through the movie again. I won't sit through the movie again.

There aren't any boring periods like in many movies, nor is it overly frenetic. Everything takes about the amount of time it should.

The story makes a number of choices I certainly wouldn't, some of which I disapprove of, but does them reasonably well, and always serves the characters effectively while still having a clear and comprehensible plot.

Both visual and sound effects are very well done, without being overly distracting. I have very few complaints in this area.

Most of the characters are very well acted, and it uses the right number of them. What new characters there are don't ever get in the way, and most of them have pretty great moments. The mainline cast all perform well. The only real issue as far as the cast goes was that Carrie Fisher had an important role to play, and they couldn't really do that with the footage they had on hand. It is very noticeable. They probably should have rewritten the plot to not involve her.

Most importantly, this movie leaves the Star Wars world in a state where there is a lot of potential for more Star Wars to follow after, and at the same time neatly wraps up this story.Unlike The Last Jedi, the world is left in a richer state than it was in when the movie started.… Expand

It lacks continuity with the other two films and every other Star Wars film at that. If you’re a a casual Star Wars fan who just wants to see action with no explanation needed, this is for you. But if you’re a hardcore fan and want cohesion in your stories, you’re going to hate it. The Last Jedi ruined the chance to create a compelling movie after that and JJ Abrams did his best to try to answer all the questions he set up in The Force Awakens. I blame Disney for not sticking with the same director. It seems like Rian Johnson was having a ego contest and was trying to subvert expectations by trying to outdo Abrams rather than adding on to what he was trying to create, which kind of ruined the story of this trilogy. I love Star Wars, but I’m at the point where I’ve kind of out grown it and have to understand it’s for kids. Kids aren’t going to question the lore of any story. Most kids are going to accept it how it is. They’ll just like it because it’s a cool world and people are fighting. But Disney took the nerdy part of Star Wars out and made it into a bad Marvel film. So I’m not interested in any Star Wars trilogy anymore, because I would have to dumb myself down to watch these movies and accept them for how they are instead of being intrigued like I was with their other six films that had continuity. But it was ok, I wouldn’t watch it again.… Expand

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.

This movies looks and sounds great.
But that's It what you can expect from a 250mio budget movie.
The Story is absolut nonsense.
Just a chaotic and plott with endless flaws.
Sorry this feels more like a fan fantasy from a 14 years old

The Rise of Skywalker is frustrating.It's basically 2 movies crammed into one. The second half works better than the first, and it has some good stuff the fans will like, but not enough to pull it through.

Just a pathetic mess from the start not worth the time and effort to watch honestly just pretend Star Wars ended after the sixth episode

I thought that this was one of the best Star Wars movies made in a long time, and by far the best of this series.

A beautiful ending to a wonderful trilogy!
It is admittedly a little rushed, especially at the beginning, but overall it's a gripping story and a perfect ending to the greatest story of all time

This movie is a shame, they tried to make two movies in one. To ignore the EP8, which was awful.

This Disney trilogy is a lot of **** The characters, have no development, the story has no meaning, are three films, without relevant content.This movie is a shame, they tried to make two movies in one. To ignore the EP8, which was awful.

This Disney trilogy is a lot of ****
The characters, have no development, the story has no meaning, are three films, without relevant content. They are only taking advantage of the fame of previous films to sell tickets.
These characters have no narrative development.
The mystique of the force was thrown in the trash.
Darth Vander's sacrifice was thrown in the trash.

Disney has destroyed the history of Star Wars.… Expand

i had to walk out before the movie finished. the story was all over the place. wait for it to be released and watch it then, or don't watch at all, you're not missing anything.
