For those that enjoyed TFA, Rogue One, and Solo, you will enjoy RoS. It hits a lot of the marks you would expect of a Star Wars movie and while it does not dig too deep, it delivers the excitement back to the fans. The first 30-40 min has a large amount of jumping around to get the story caught up to where things need to be to close out the film. If many of these initial elements could have been in TLJ, this transition would have been much smoother. I found myself really appreciating elements from TLJ that set up and fit very well into RoS to tie characters together and reinforce actions they made while leading to the next actions. Overall, all the marks were hit for these characters, especially Leia, Kylo Ren and Rey. Action was on point and there is lots of it, Humor is in the right places, and the nostalgia of what Fans like has returned. Well done all things considered.… Expand

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

I am a lifetime Star Wars fan, but the new trilogy was falling so short of the bar set by the original trilogy it was really hurting to watch them. Felt like Force Awakens was mostly just rehash of A New Hope and Last Jedi seemed like a mess to me. Now, granted, this is not anywhere on par with the original trilogy. However, with this film I finally feel like the new trilogy has an identity of it's own. This one managed to finally give meaning and resonance to the characters and events of Force Awakens and Last Jedi. There are cringe worthy cheesy and campy moments, and huge events are left glaringly unexplained, but if you just give in and go with it I can finally say it was a ride worth taking. Feel like I owe J.J. Abrams an apology because I was so mad at him for Force Awakens. I feel like he did a solid job of letting me finally see his vision for Star Wars and he did a good job in the end.… Expand

I'm not ashamed to say that I cried. I was very satisfied. What seemed too much to comprehend on first viewing comes across as much more measured and balanced the second time around. Of course, you have to suspend disbelief, but you shouldn't take it too seriously, anyway. It's only a Star Wars film. If anything, I would have liked to have seen more of the Rose Tico character. I was pleased that the lesbian kiss was included. It might have been a very small gesture, but it's a step in the right direction and is promsing for the expanded universe. For the record, I personally liked The Last Jedi and am pleased overall with the final trilogy. This final iteration made me want to watch the whole saga all over again for the overall story arc, even the first three (I actually didn't mind the third one). I know there are a lot of impassioned people out there, as they have a strong emotional investment in the storyline, and some people are very precious about their sci-fi mythos, but were the films ever really anything more than swashbuckling popcorn movies? I can't believe there is so much hate for this movie. I think people take the work that goes into movies of this calibre for granted - a lot of hard of work and dedication has gone into this and clearly they care about this universe. I think it's an incredible achievement and the cast and crew should be congratulated for a fitting end to it all. Babu Frik rocks! Thanks, J.J.… Expand

As a fan of Force Awakens (saw it 5 times in theaters, yes) this movie delivered the goods. This was the sequel I had in mind. All the references to earlier films (both subtle and obvious) were handled cleverly, and that led to a great star wars feel throughout. This felt like a Star Wars story at its most elemental and that’s what makes it so worthy. Light versus dark, the passing of generations, battling one’s inner demons, friendship, overcoming adversity by banding together. The wonderful and optimistic themes of the series are all present. This movie does so much right and is so fun that I’m not even going to nitpick it. I’m just very thankful that they gave us one more great movie in this trilogy. JJ and the cast and crew did a phenomenal job. There are images and scenes in this movie, especially toward the end, that I will never forget. Inspiring.… Expand

Episode 7 was too edentulous, but not bad. In episode 8, I was simultaneously delighted with bold ideas and upset with some of the worst scenes in Star Wars history (like Super-Lea flying in space). Episode 9 is not flawless, but lacks the shortcomings of the previous two. His own flaw is the rush with which events unfold. I can assume that Johnson has moved too far away from Abrams' original idea, so JJ had to correct the narrative and simultaneously tell the plot of the new part, which led to the fit of two scenarios into one. Even so, Episode 9 is one of the most dynamic in the series. It has a lot of beautiful and spectacular moments and locations, the characters behave quite adequately, especially given the general rush of the film, which sometimes does not give them time to experience. And I think that of all the plot porridge that came out at the junction of episodes 7 and 8, Abrams carved out quite nice and logical. Not the best part of the franchise, but probably the best part in the trilogy. Perhaps Kevin Feige will have a more holistic narrative in future films.… 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 fund little to smile about in the earlier two films, some things to smile about in Ron Howard's Solo film. This film is an outstanding, incredible achievement of imagination and craft. I suspect this is JJ's best film and best script, with his several collaborators. The light saber fight choreography has never been better ever. The acting has never been better. What I don't see mentioned in other reviews is the video-game angle. The Rogue One movie played more like a video game than like a movie, lots to do, not much emotional engagement. Rise of Skywalker plays as a perfect hybrid of movie and video game, best elements of both, lots you culd do in a video-game AND lots of emotional engagement, even some originality (Luke and Leia) were bother sister. Rei and Ben become brother and sister). I think more credit needs to go to the brain trust of writers, including Colin Treverow and JJ, two masters of breathing fresh life into old IPs, sometimes strikingly original new life. The trailers suggested the movie could be overly sentimental fan service, a "Star Wars greatest hits." Every Disney Star Wars has tried to be "Star Wars greatest hits." I found the story engaging over and above the hundreds of "greatest hits" moments. Quite an accomplishment. :)… Expand

They managed to salvage the trilogy and repair a lot of the damage that was done to it in episode 8.

It wastes no time in getting right to it's own plot, always pushing it forwards in a satisfying and intriguing manner.

There is a bit too much fan service in this game, when it comes to the return of a few characters and places, but that's all quick and painless.

The movie has a few jokes that mostly land, but more importantly, it doesn't make you cringe and experience Fremdschämen, as episode 8 did. Nothing in this movie was made to challenge Jar Jar Binks.

They dealt with the death of Carry Fisher as well as they could. It can't be the same without her, but this movie honored her and her character.

All reveals and twists are well thought out, make sense and are convincing, which is a breath of fresh air after the last movie, where they were just done for the sake of contrarianism and cheap shock effects. With all the possible routes that could have been taken,
there is a chance that this movie will not make every viewer's exact idea of what was going to happen next come true.

But Episode 9 ends the trilogy as Episode 7 started it:
By bringing respect back to the Star Wars universe and it's audience.… Expand

Saw it on IMAX some parts were breathtaking. The script has some cheesy moments but I can forgive that, it’s clear J.J. should have been given the full trilogy to make by himself. Any ‘issues’ with the script are because they are trying to fix the problems that Last Jedi caused. I still hate how Luke was treated in Last Jedi & broke SW lore, but at least this movie tries to explain things in some logical way & link the whole saga together.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Star Wars final chapter felt like an enjoyable journey, from the get go it starts with great action set pieces and continues through out, the new locations are gorgeous Disney really brought they’re all to make sure this film looked good. 2 hours 22 minutes is the run time and I honestly felt there wasn’t a dull moment it felt like a fight till the end and my eyes could not be taken off from the screen. Some of your favourite characters make a return in some way or another along with a very surprising and somewhat confusing twist involving a returning character.

I feel there was missed opportunities through out the film most notably the choice of which Rey makes in regards to Kylo Ren’s offer to join the dark side I feel if she chose to do so the dynamic of the film would have changed and made for a more jaw dropping and surprising twist then what we got the flow of the film was great and the final scene was magical highly recommend seeing it won’t disappoint… Expand

No spoilers here but I have to say I went in with low expectations (I really disliked The Last Jedi) but this film was so well told,made me laugh and cry in equal measure and it was everything good about Star Wars again. I haven’t enjoyed a Star Wars film this much since Return of the Jedi,I’d probably put this about on a par with that. It has minor faults but heck I’ll forgive JJ that after he opened back up some dead ends Rian Johnson closed in The Last Jedi,this was a great ending to the saga… Expand

Great movie! The only flaw it has, it’s that it came after Episode 8. True fans will find many things to love and newcomers won’t have a hard time getting on board.

This was in my opinion one of the better movies. I also really loved Rogue One. I don’t feel as though anything will ever match the originals, because they started the franchise. What hasn’t been matched in the new films is some of environment and depth of the universe. Star Wars and films like that were intended to open to new frontiers and build imagination, and were also love stories. This new movie left me feeling my body tighten on thrilling scenes, and feel emotion during other moments. I didn’t have high expectations, but I feel this movie did everything it could do to honor the franchise and produce something unique going in, but… Expand

well not as robust or creative as the last Jedi, The rise of skywalker is still arguably a quintessential star wars film that fuses action and adventure with dark fantasy.

That did not happen this time. In the context of Star Wars (books+movies) the story makes sense, less so in context of previous two movies. There are also some cringe moments, minor plot holes etc. However, this is definitely the best movie in the trilogy so I'm ready to overlook these minor problems. Sad part is that it's probably better to skip previous two movies (definitely Episode 8) completely and watch only this one and you would get a better experience.… Expand

The story of light and dark coalescing into one and snuffing out true evil once and for all is a captivating one, and the perfect way to finish off this story. Ben and Rey's story is brought full circle. Luke and Leia's story is, quite literally, brought full circle, bringing a proper end to the Skywalker lineage. While I don't appreciate all of the creative decisions in The Last Jedi, RoS helps bridge that appreciation for the whole franchise. It does justice to the characters and to the fans who don't go to the cinema to be challenged, but who go to love a good story and Star Wars. I have spoken.… Expand

After 40 years, the space, epic and generally galactic opera about the Skywalker family ended. I can imagine what a huge responsibility it was for the director and the whole team to put an end to such a long story. What can be said about this point. It is clearly better done than a point in one high-profile fantasy series (we will not say the name). J. J. Abrams put a good end to this story, giving credit to each character. Technically the film looks great (space flights and battle scenes). But in the very plot of the whole film, as if something was missing on a larger scale, and if it were not for the finale, then perhaps the 9th part was perceived in the same way as the previous 2 episodes. What else the film was very hooked on is the nostalgic moments of which there were enough in the film and they took for the soul, for this I will immediately give +1 point to the piggy bank. Sleep tight Skywalker Saga.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m not going to post a lengthy review. Just a few words:
This is it, people. This is Star Wars. Some people will like it. Some people won’t. But this is the real stuff. If you don’t like this movie, it’s just that you don’t like Star Wars. There is nothing wrong with it. I’m sure there will be tons of other movies out there for you. But JJ got so much right with this one. Just the scene with Ghost Luke catching the lightsaber that Rey throws away (and behaving as the good old Luke we knew and loved) is priceless.... one of many metaphorical undoings of TLJ mishaps. There are a few nitpicks here and there, of course, but overall I exited the cinema smiling ear to ear like a child, something that haven’t happened yet with the new trilogy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I enjoyed this movie very much, and more so in a second viewing. I think it builds on what was achieved on tlj with small pay-offs like the use of force time and using the experience of finn in Canto bight to come up with a plan.

Also I loved the EU growing up and this one is heavily inspired by dark empire one of the first comics by dark horse. Over the top but so good.

It wasn't perfect, it had a few pacing issues, a bit frenetic, but that goes away after a rewatch.

If anything it could have been a bit longer. But a very satisfying end of the trilogy.

As a lifelong fan I am accustomed to some unanswered minor questions, Wich I like so we get books and comics and other movies tied to it, just like the OT and PT, who's boba fett, where did Luke get the green Crystal, what happens in the clone wars these kind of things.

But the visuals. The visuals were so so good, the set pieces were varied and epic, lightsaber duel with giant waves, the throne room atmosphere based of mcquerrie awesome art, just amazing.
we go to several unseen planets too.

Finally I lost it when chewie growls in despair and Han's vision saying I know.

Fan service? Yes! But I'll be damned if it isn't good fan service! And to really hardcore, read all the books and comics fans to boot. Well done!… Expand

It clarified everything in the previous films, giving them a new context so you can look at them as a bit less of a rehash.

A lot of respect was paid to what the Jedi really are. You'll have to see it to understand.

As the trailers show, Palpatine is still around in some form - and he absolutely should be. Of course he foresaw the traditional concept of an apprentice overthrowing their master and had spent his life working out how to cheat death like he hints in EP3.

It suffers from the same flaws as EP7-8 with the characters being aware of things that the audience are not, confusing the audience sometimes.

There is a lot of back and forth and I'd like to say this is a good thing but it didn't feel good. You'll have to see it to understand what I mean by "back and forth" since it could mean many things.

The lore of the antagonists was not explained very well to the audience in this film, leaving them to guess it.

Overall 9/10, with the 1 remaining being for the stated flaws.… Expand

I get it, many fans are unhappy, particularly with the 'Disney takeover' and JJ Abrams involvement but I'm not seeing much objective comment here. I've followed the saga fron the start, saw A New Hope as an 8 year old, and obviously am a fair bit older now. In my book, only episode IV and V are truly great movies, the rest are patchy, with some of the prequels being truly poor. Has anyone seen Revenge Of The Sith recently? Now THATS garbage, the key movie in the saga ruined. Through that lens, ROTS is way better. Kylo and Rey's arcs actually do have some emotional weight. Some of the planet sequences are breathtaking - saber battle in a raging sea? Epic. There were some fun moments too, actual humor and some good character additions (that little Baba guy was hilarious).
Yes there is some fan service going on here, Abrams was trying to go back to first principles and produce something that honours the better parts of the saga. Ok, there are some dumb moments but it's nowhere near as dumb as TLJ.
Lastly, I was lucky enough to watch this with my own 8 year old, who also loves star wars and I must admit to having a lump in my throat in the final scenes. Anyway, he loved the film, and for me that's the only review I'd give any weight to.… Expand

I think the nostalgia and hype that surrounded new Star Wars movies has also fully worn off and I think this movie will age much better than the Force Awakens and the Last Jedi.

Yes, it still had moments that felt weird and honestly shouldn't be in the movie like the Last Jedi, but there weren't nearly as many as in the previous movie and they weren't always consistently awful (and some even had redeeming parts). Furthermore, it was the most original and enthralling story of the sequels and had some really great moments as well (unlike the tedious and subpar Force Awakens).… Expand

I went in a bit scared because I did not care for The Last Jedi at all (it basically did nothing to advance a story, just killed Luke), but I'm so happy to see that J.J. was able to put something good together here.
He ignored a few things from Last Jedi, took jabs at others, and continued the story as he envisioned it starting in The Force Awakens.
I think this is a fine ending to the Skywalker Saga.
It is by no means a perfect movie, and there were some things I did not like, but honestly, the positive very much outweighs the negative. Rey was more of a likable character, Kylo Ren was absolutely epic, Finn and Poe were back to their amazing chemistry and banter... I did not mind Palpatine being back at all, either. Altogether a great movie, and worthy ending.
Much better than The Last Jedi, and that in itself is a big relief!… Expand

Awesome story to wrap up the ending. Seems like the studio quit on it money and good filming wise compared to other films but the ratings on here are just stupid

I really enjoyed this movie, The director did a good job of saving the trilogy. Some of the elements felt thrown in out of the blue but I think it was needed.

Der Film schließt eine Saga die ich als sehr Wertvoll empfinde, desweiteren ist der Film in sich schlüssig mit kleinen schwächen trotzdem gebe ich ihm 09/10.
Sehr sehenswert.

Don't believe the critics ... this movie is a lot better than the mess that was Episode 8

While the overall saga resents from the clear lack of a well thought out and unified plot for all 3 movies this installment stands out as the best of the new trilogy. This is the movie that current generations will praise further down the line. It's vibrant and despite moving sometimes too fast for someone not so young it flows nicely and keeps you trapped in the adventure. Fans will complain again because it certainly does not follow the principles set by the original trilogy, this is what happen with TLJ too and while I certainly dissagree on some things from that movie and I do not fully embrace the "Let the past die", you certainly will have more fun watching this movie if you stop holding on! and let go!… Expand

Yes I understand a lot of the criticisms being leveled at it from a critical perspective, but fundamentally, as a big star wars fan it was very fun to watch. People aren't understanding the near impossible job JJ had here. Not only did the Last Jedi leave the resistance almost completely wiped out and with no direction, he also had to bring together all 9 films of the series in to one larger story arc that made sense and involved characters from all eras. Was it the most creative film ever? No, but it was never meant to be. It was meant to give star wars fans a final send off to the setting and characters they have known for decades, and it did that brilliantly.… Expand

I thought it was amazing. This is what Star Wars is for me. Exciting, over-the-top, sci-fi fantasy fun. Not for boring old grown ups and Last Jedi fans (since it's heavy with the retconning).

Not for boring old grown ups and Last Jedi fans (since it's heavy with the retconning). Critics say it's the worst since the Phantom Menace, but the fact is audiences had a lot of fun watching the Phantom Menace before the internet ruined it for everyone and I had fun with this movie too. It's a return to the old-fashioned, good vs. evil adventure story that Star Wars originally was. No post-modern subversion of your expectations (though it does have some interesting twists) and no bumming you out with real world politics and the idea that morality is a murky confusing mess. If you liked the Last Jedi or want Star Wars to be like Joker (or whatever else boring people who can't admit they like something that's kid friendly are into), you'll hate this movie. If you're just looking to have a good time and want better answers to the questions Force Awakens posed, you'll love it.… Expand
