How a single person working on this film didn't stand up and say "this is dumb, we need a rewrite" is beyond me. This entire trilogy was put together on the fly without any care and it really shows. I fear that Disney has finally figured out it can quickly and effortlessly throw any garbage with lightsabers on-screen and make billions. Fan-made YouTube Star Wars movies look better and have more soul than this cash-grab nonsense, which is very sad considering the differences in budget. Disney truly is a real-life Evil Empire with the fate of the Star Wars Universe in the clutch of its force choke, who will save us?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most of the plot points are under explained or not explained at all. Every scene feels like it was written by a different writer that wasn't communicating with the other writers. It tries to do some different stuff but then still takes a lot of ideas from the older movies. The worst part is how Palpatine is a super fun part of the prequels but he feels extremely boring and silly in this movie. You could pick a random Star Wars nerd out of a crowd to write a better screen play than this. You could pick someone who isn't sure what Star Wars is. I don't know if the people who made this movie are incompetent or if they were just forced by Chinese standards or executives to sterilize the movie into an extremely boring mess. Don't give Disney any more money, please.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: -Fantastic score, as per usual with Star Wars.
-Great performances from all the actors, particularly Ian McDiarmid.
-Rey being Palpatine’s granddaughter, while I can understand why it’s disappointing to some, I feel is a really cool twist that I didn't see coming.
-The film has really great visuals and great action.
-Tons of fanservice that’s sure to please hardcore Star Wars fans.
-I am forever grateful to J.J. Abrams for making Rose’s role in this movie nothing more than a cameo appearance. While I don’t have anything against Kelly Marie Tran, Rose was just a boring, irritating character in The Last Jedi and I was praying she wouldn’t be heavily involved in The Rise of Skywalker. -They did a great job integrating Leia into the film. It really does feel like Carrie Fisher was there on the set when they were filming. Massive props to the production teams for pulling that off.
-Hearing all the voice’s of Jedi’s past, while I do still wish we could have seen their actual ghosts, is really cool, and even just hearing the voices of characters like Kanan and Ahsoka from the cartoons in one of the films is so freaking awesome. Cons: -The pacing is a bit too fast and it can be hard to keep up at times.
-Parts of the script feel a bit too fan-fictiony. -Why does Palpatine order Ben to try and kill Rey if his plan is to have her take on the title of empress? It just seems like an odd choice. -Some of the new characters like Zorii Bliss and Jannah seem interesting but aren’t very fleshed out. -There are some plot lines that they introduce but then just don't go anywhere with them. For example, they reveal that Hux is the mole in the First Order feeding info to the rebels, but then kill him off shortly after, and later on they hint at Finn being force sensitive, but then don’t really go anywhere with that plot line.
-Certain arcs feel a bit rushed, like Rey’s existential crisis she goes through when she realizes she’s a Palpatine and Poe’s doubting he can lead the Resistance after Leia dies. -While seeing all those ships come together to take on the final order is cool to see, it does lead one to question where all these people were when the Resistance sent out a distress signal in The Last Jedi.
-They don’t really explain Darth Sidious’s return all too well in the film itself. -Sidious’ return can, and has, been interpreted as making Anakin Skywalker’s sacrifice in Return of the Jedi pointless. I feel if they just added a line saying something along the lines of that each generation has a different chosen one and that Anakin was the chosen one of his generation while Rey is the chosen one of her generation, then that would have cleared things up. -While the, “I AM ALL THE SITH!”, and, “I am all the Jedi.”, lines are pretty awesome, it definitely does feel like the writers were trying a little too hard to copy Endgame.

Final Verdict: Overall, I think The Rise of Skywalker is a good movie, but similarly to the Last Jedi, it’s got some pretty noteworthy flaws that can drag things down a bit. The pacing is a bit too fast, even for a J.J. Abrams film, and some plot lines are either rushed or don’t really go anywhere. This movie really could have benefitted from an extra 30-40 minutes in it’s runtime. Still, it’s a solid conclusion to the Skywalker saga that should satisfy most fans. 7/10… Expand

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

Imagine then a movie in which instead of telling a coherent story you just jump from fanservicy to fanservicy scene in a jumbled sequence of mindless scenes with too many quesst for a MacGuffin.
Imagine also a movie in which instead of developing your characters you introduce new useless ones which you won't develop either.
The result is an incredibly stupid movie, badly edited, with a dumb plot and no heart.

Much like the intro of the film, the pacing of the film follows "light speed skipping". They retconned Rey's backstory and pulled some 11th hour heresy with Palpatine to try and hype the film up and arbitrarily create some antagonist out of the blue yonder. ANOTHER desolate desert planet. ANOTHER random forest planet. MORE Planet Killing weapons. MORE Palpatine. 40 years in the making and this is literally some fanfiction caliber crap protruded out from Corporate Disney that's a rehash of Return of the Jedi.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mild Spoilers involved: Just not a very good movie in general. I agree with many of the critics for once, the powers that be seemed to concentrate more on clicking boxes, and making Rey the savior of, well, everything and everyone, rather than tell a good story. The one good element was that the acting was superb for the most part. They just did not have much to work with. It was beyond predictable, and half way through I was just ready for Rey to kill 'you know who' already, so I could be done. The interesting and exceedingly frustrating miss is that the story screamed for a huge twist that would have really cemented a lasting legacy for the franchise. In the almost year leading up to the premiere, there were minor hints of a possibility that Rey could fall to the Dark Side at some point. Though as more trailers revealed this was probably not going to happen, it would have made for a great plot choice, with endless possibilities. (1) Rey falls, Kylo is redeemed and must stop her. (2) Rey falls and Finn becomes a Jedi to stop her, perhaps with Kylo. (3) Even Rey falls, but is ultimately redeemed . Any of these options and more would have really opened up the story more. It also would have solved another glaring problem with the trilogy as a whole. I like most everyone, thought the prequels were pretty bad, but I believe this was more due to poor acting than anyone cares to admit. But what I loved about “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith” was the multiple Jedi, and to a certain extent Sith, we were able to witness. This was something even the original trilogy did not have, though I will admit, those movies were certainly fine cinema at its best on their own. In any case it would have been great to see more than just Rey and Kylo in every movie. Luke, Leia, and the Emperor had mere moments of battle, plus they were all known characters, and old by this time. It would have been great to see Finn explore his abilities, Snook not dispatched so quickly and in action, and perhaps a couple of others. I was genuinely tired of the Rey/Kylo fight, love, whatever, before the last movie even started. O.K. my rant is done, maybe we’ll get this and more in the next trilogy…… Expand

This is because reviving and revamping emperor palpatine was terrible decision and just bad writing. This is because this being done , ruins the plot of the original trilogy and also makes death Vader (The most beloved villain is the skywalker saga) redemption story lacklustre and pointless. And relying on a good memorising character to repurpose and revamp a bad trilogy to try to end a beloved saga is just lazy writing. However this direction taken could be good but jj abrams took a different route to make it a ambitious the return of the Jedi end which was not the write call or at least the way he executed it , it wasn’t this is because a redemption story of kylo REN just destroys the plot of the original trilogy also this could have been great but the final battle was so lacklustre and just destroys palpatines character also reylos kiss felt forced and stupid also princess lea death felt forced however considering the actors death it is also more insulting to her character and her character should’ve took a different rout. Overalls the only good thing good about the movie are the cinematic scenes and fight but overall a horrible addition to the skywalker saga Also this movie is so **** it didn’t take any risks and didn’t develop any character except ren this is because Rey kill chewie a good thing to develope character for both characters and give rey a reason to fight but noooo we have to monitise this saga and need crewie to do that so they bring him back what a pathetic movie and jj please never direct again.… Expand

The Stream: The uninspired storytelling fell flat and leaves you wanting more.

The Big screen: The action sequences are still priceless.

The Final Bill: The story ends, whether you like it or not, but you’ll be entertained.

-S2S

Stream to Big Screen, welcome back you are. This week we are reviewing the long awaited third film of the newest trilogy from the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. This movie reprises the roles of many of the cult classic’s favorites dating back to the 70s. But let’s get to the review.

Honestly, this movie is a letdown for the Disney/Lucasfilm’s brand. In a way this felt like the producers just going through the motions to end this neverending story. My sentiment is definitely heighten coming off of Disney’s other colossal film product, Avengers: Endgame, from this summer. You can’t “end” one properly and just let the other suffer. I’m not sure who dropped the ball on this but we had a movie where all of the stakes were on the line and it felt completely lifeless. We went from planet to planet, searching for their Maltese falcon that will save us… just to realize we have to find something else insignificant to eat up 20 minutes of theater time. We get your formula Star Wars… particularly in this trilogy. But for 2 hours plus, we end up at the obvious ending and they still expect us to be wowed. I think the diehard fan base, which I am not even though I’ve seen all of the movies except Solo, deserves much more than what they got from this film. Even in the scenery, nothing new was even explored in this film. Same old desert, rain forest etc. One thing I did enjoy about the last Star Wars film Last Jedi was the scenery they gave us. That red salt scene at the end… hot fire. This movie not so much. And don’t even get me started on the lame acting in this movie.

Now don’t get me wrong, the story of Star Wars in this recent trilogy is annoying at best but it’s still a wonder to see visually on the big screen. This movie does have some really good, yet unoriginal action scenes, throughout. Who doesn’t love racing around spaceships, lightsaber duels, endless inaccurate blaster shots by the bad guys. No seriously, even though I was bored with the movie, I was enthralled by the constant barrage of action and entertainment.

Long story short, nothing I could say would stop a Star Wars fan from seeing this movie. So let them enjoy their big popcorn. Everyone else, you have to have seen all of the other movies to understand whats going on. So it’s not worth wasting the theater monies on this film. Check it out on Disney+, if you ever catch up on the other installments of Star Wars.

May the force be with you.… Expand

- Apart from a few main characters most of the characters completely lack any sort of development and are rather 1 dimensional.
- The plot was painfully simplistic in a world that was poorly built, child like in its conception almost, I have seen better stories and world building emerge from D&D games.
- It appeals to nostalgia too much in an attempt to retain a fan base.
- At points it attempts to be humorous, attempts being the appropriate word.
- Cliche such as "I want to shoot you but secretly still love you" present, from yet another criminally underdeveloped character.
- Merchandising character placement neither subtle nor tasteful, a new droid character was added clearly for this purpose alone.
- Poorly explained plot points, how can C3PO read sith but is unable to speak it, where did that massive fleet come from exactly, how was a giant manned fleet constructed on a planet no one can get to, etc? - Plot armor, serious main character survive ability, from storm troopers missing at point blank range (something you would hope the creators of star wars would have learned from previous films) to main characters dying then not being dead. Any sense of risk for the party we follow is just completely lost.
- Rey is a Mary Sue, there is nothing she isn't good at and why she is the best/almost the best at any given task is not explained.
The film is a lazy edition to the star wars universe and here are issues it has in relation to this:
- power creep, the previous films had increasingly larger planet destroying weapons, the last of which could destroy multiple with 1 shot. Now we are presented with an entire fleet of planet destroying weapons.
- more power creep, the force can do anything now, this introduces plot holes in previous films as, "Why didn't they just force heal them?"
- inconsistent Palpetine writing, he was always about personal power, now he wants to die and "merge" with someone?
- Main characters, just get sidelined as if they are no longer important to the story.
There is more but I think this is enough to paint the picture. A terrible film from start to finish. The only saving grace is the space battles were pretty. Poorly developed characters, in a poorly developed world, with a simplistic plot.… Expand

Ultimately, all three films in the trilogy never really matched up and felt out of place, there were a lot of setups in The Force Awakens that were either scrapped or had dull conclusions, which is surprising for a larger franchise that seemed to have everything together. It’s sad seeing this final chapter come to fruition because of how much of a great film it could have been. Not in my canon.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Rise of Skywalker visually is great, however, the story seems rushed. A lot of fan service to the originals, unfortunately, the prequels are once again forgotten in the Skywalker saga's final episode. The Mary poppins style of character that is Rey once again is extremely apparent as well. Also it never explains how somehow Palpatine survived falling into a reactor and exploding Death Star and of course how he dies at the end seems too easy. The ending is good besides the fact that they used Rey instead of Ben Solo to defeat Palpatine and survive at the end. Which brings us to force healing. The ability is too powerful and really makes you wonder why the Jedi such as Obiwan, qui gon, Anakin, and such never used it. For the ending it didn't make sense for Rey to go back to the beginning where Anakin and Luke were from. Which is why it seemed it was meant to be Ben.… Expand

- The story is very messy, rushed and all over the place
- The lightsaber fights suck
- Luke, Lando,Rose and the Knights of Ren are wasted as characters
- Introducing too many new characters - An absolute insult to The Last Jedi and not a proper sequel to it
- The twist sucks

There are a fair amount of good in the film though
+ Leia is handled very well
+ Phenomenal CGI
+ The real practical stuff are amazing
+ Some nice surprises
+ The ending at least feels conclusive
+ Great action near the end
+ Richard E Grant is amazing

Both of the previous to entries in this trilogy have been in my opinion, extremely underwhelming, both for different reasons. The force awakens was although in itself a decent film, painfully unoriginal and extremely predictable, but had a good script with an alright plot and a good supporting cast. The last Jedi had massive sections that were just plain boring and had a terrible script, but at the same time was far less predictable and had an extremely underrated performance from Mark Hamil. Episode 9 however, instead of learning from the mistakes of its predecessors makes them all again without anything really to redeem it. The dialogue was cheesy and pretty awful at some points and towards the end the plot really dragged. The final showdown between the resistance and the first order was practically just a massive cringe fest, and none of the new characters are given enough time to be invested in. The film wasn’t all bad though, as it saw the return of Ian McDiarmid as palpatine, who is once again phenomenal. Other characters, mainly Kylo Ren are given a chance to fully develop and have satisfying closure in the finale. I think it’s also worth mentioning that the sith are really made out to be quite sinister in this film, which I personally loved. I also couldn’t help but notice a much smaller focus on the lightsaber fights. Perhaps it’s because of how badly choreographed the throne room fight in the last Jedi was, but I think the change of pace worked well and when there was the occasional dual it felt more slick. I guess it is worth talking about the cinematography, even though it’s pretty much the same every year it is once again excellent. I think an issue that both me and many fans are having is that it renders the struggles of characters like Luke and Anakin useless. What I mean by this is that, Anakin was destined to destroy the sith and end the tyranny of the emperor, yet here he stands alive and well, ready for Rey to fulfill someone else’s prophecy. Not only does it break the lore but it is extremely contrived and just generally bad writing.
In conclusion, the rise of skywalker is an underwhelming installment in an epically mediocre trilogy. It does have a few redeeming qualities and is altogether an enjoyable experience, but it’s not enough to make up for all of its flaws. This is now in my opinion the worst Star Wars film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite some strange and awkward moments that seemed really out of place or unneeded I think if it stuck the landing it would have saved the trilogy and this movie. The moment Ben brought Rey back to life was where the ending failed for me, after the tale of Darth Plagues being such a strong sith lord he could control life and death it would really hammer that Rey was a palpatine and only the sith had those powers, and that ben was good all along. Unable to use the dark powers that rey could, he would be forced to accept that he could not control life and death, in contrast to anakin and infact showing he was stronger. They could have then still done the Skywalker homestead scene but with Ben living in solitude and starting a new jedi temple. Outside of the main governing body much like the old jedi. Rey's arc would have started and ended with her being a nobody, and that's the point, she would have become strong on her own, as opposed to the "prestigious" Skywalker line.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another weak entry in a once great series. Expands upon force healing, force teleportation and other things in an unearned way that actively makes previous Star Wars movies worse. Rehash of Return of the Jedi with some Empire Strikes Back rehashing crammed in. Brings back Emperor Palpatine and apparently kills him off in a very unsatisfying way. Hey Disney: It's possible to create interesting new Star Wars content that builds upon the existing lore without breaking things. It's called The Mandalorian. In the sequel trilogy, you don't need to ignore what should be a powerful New Republic, or make Disney esque decisions to pretend to kill off Chewbacca, Finn in The Last Jedi and apparently C3PO just to immediately bring these characters back. If you want to kill these characters be bold and just do it.

Hopefully future Star Wars movies are better than the "sequel trilogy". The characters of Finn and Rey as introduced in The Force Awakens could be used so much better. Star Wars has died as a sad death.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Film Review:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

I was eighteen years old in the early summer of 1977 when Star Wars dropped like a cannonball into our laps. Both of my parents were still alive, and my brother’s mental illness had not yet shattered our family and sent my father to his early grave. As a group, we’d watched the last episode of Gunsmoke just two years prior, my Dad’s favorite show hands-down for most of its run, only falling off during those jaded Watergate years and our final disillusion with the Vietnam War. Then, suddenly, Star Wars arrived unannounced with its clear water morality—love not hate, courage over fear, loyalty to friends and common cause, and an appeal for simple faith in the universal connected-ness of all things. It felt childlike beside that era’s gritty, American cinema verité films like Chinatown (1974), Dog Day Afternoon (1975) and Report to the Commissioner (1975). But, oh, how strong that simple appeal! In Star Wars, we found classic characters bound in common struggle against evil at high odds. The Kid, the rogue with the heart-a-gold, the princess—and we reveled in their unlikely success as they did, reassured that faith, courage, loyalty, and a little luck will stand against evil even at terrible odds. Still, Star Wars felt like a simple, rousing tale, but for The Empire Strikes Back (1980), which grounded the Force in family. All at once, my father’s disappointment came clear, as did my resentment and confusion over my new role as the family’s savior in the aftermath of my brother’s affliction, a brother whose every step I followed like a trail blazed through adolescence. The tears I saw flowing on my father’s face bewildered, and the things I shouted over my shoulder, and he at me, stung, as I stormed out unaware that I would never see him again.

With The Rise of Skywalker, director J.J. Abrams understands one thing, clearly: forty years have passed since an American generation of young people marveled at those early Star Wars films. He knows that those young people have grown into middle age and that many have confronted life’s hard equations: that you cannot go back, that some opportunities never recur, and that you cannot unspeak harsh words you have said to those who have died. The Rise of Skywalker’s plot may feel derivative, its conventions rehashed, and its refusal to realize the story lines set out in The Last Jedi (2017) frustrating, but such things are small beer. They barely register next to Princess Leia’s final connection to, and Han Solo’s recovery of, their lost son; Ben’s reawakening to the love within him, and Rey’s final thrust to set things right while all the Jedi speak within her. For those of us who cannot stand beside the ‘force ghosts’ of our dead mothers and fathers and brothers, in conversation, and speak the loving truths we wish we could, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker rings our bell. J.J. Abrams knows well the film he has made for us, bless his heart. Michael D. Phillips… Expand

The action scenes are scattered all over the place, with very thin plotlines failing to keep them together. There is no tension in any of the scenes, as the movie constantly undoes any major decision that affects the main (or secondary) characters in a way that could induce someone to feel sad for more that a few seconds.

The pacing is terrible, again as a natural conclusion of writing a movie as a mash-up of cool scenes instead of a natural, well thought-out plot.

While Star Wars is always entertaining, this movie's plot, dialogue, and themes were ridiculously cliche, derivative and not amusing.

It pains me to say this but this movie kills the saga as a whole with one swift stroke. If you dare to scratch the surface of this soulless abomination of a movie, which doesn‘t even respect its own rules and characters, it falls apart completely.

This was a complete sacrilege of star wars for three main reasons.
1. Goerge Lucas said once that the script for star wars is a space romance
2. Star wars had some logical thot in its idea of space ships, This clearly did not as there wasThis was a complete sacrilege of star wars for three main reasons.

After watching the rise of skywalker, i can tell that the Last Jedi wasn't so bad after all.

I finally got around to seeing this and reading the reviews prior to going to the theater I thought I was in for something absolutely horrible and to be honest, I didn't think it was as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I loved the visualsI finally got around to seeing this and reading the reviews prior to going to the theater I thought I was in for something absolutely horrible and to be honest, I didn't think it was as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I loved the visuals like the Star Destroyers lined up perfectly in a grid like pattern w/ lightning crashing down around them was so damn awesome I nerdgasmed out on it, sound effects were great as always in the SW series, seeing different characters, and I really enjoyed having C-3PO as more of a main character w/ more and actual lines, some of which were pretty funny I thought. BUT, there are definitely some things that are not good about this movie. I found the writing to be subpar, especially certain one liners and I couldn't help to think that even I could write better dialogue. There were two or so moments that never panned out to anything. There some pretty ridiculous force moments, nothing I can go into w/out spoiling, but way too over the top that just cheapens the movie. The worst part of the movie though was the super predictable story, again, can't go into detail but, super predictable. Finally w/ all that said, I enjoyed the movie overall. I've seen plenty of truly 1 star movies and this definitely was not one. At the same time it's not anywhere close to the quality of SW we know. Overall, I'd say it's ok, pretty good, and an enjoyable enough movie I'd recommend at least renting it.… Expand

I genuinely believed skyline (2010) was the worst sci-fi movie I had ever seen. Episode 7 was full of terrible acting and horrific character building, Episode 8 seemed like it was going somewhere.. But this just took a massive Sh*T onI genuinely believed skyline (2010) was the worst sci-fi movie I had ever seen. Episode 7 was full of terrible acting and horrific character building, Episode 8 seemed like it was going somewhere.. But this just took a massive Sh*T on everything the first 6 movies were built on. This movie had no purpose apart from luring people into the cinemas and making money off people by presenting them a rushed movie with a shambolic plot that’s masked with non stop CGI. It’s just full of cheese and butter without any taste of flavour.… Expand
