Great movie for fans of the series. It's a bit of a mess structurally but it's the character moments and well done fan service that elevates this movie to something special.

It's not easy to fix what Rian Johnson did to the series with The Last Jedi but J.J.

The Star Wars GOAT. Sums up 40 years of lore and story in one movie. J.J. is a god and totally redeems what Rian Johnson ruined. This is the best ending anyone can ever hope for with nine films and different directors.

Let's start with the first few minutes, it's just so quintessentially Star Wars, that you are brought right into the Galaxy far far away immediately. The story is good, Rey, Kylo, Poe, Finn, and all the characters have satisfying character arcs. The story wraps up nicely and through the whole thing it feels like Star Wars.… Expand

JJ Abrams brings the true Star Wars spirit back to the franchise with a story that builds on the entire history of Star Wars, course corrects the missteps of TLJ, and gives Adam Driver his best turn as Kylo Ren, all of it sprinkled with surprises and delivered with unrelenting action. The perfect conclusion to the Skywalker saga.

So why the haters? Maybe the pacing was a bit unrelenting. OK sure, but so what. A lot better than it being dull and slow. People don't like Palpitane's return. But we all knew that going in. True, there is not a detailed explanation as to how he survived, but he's hooked up to a million machines so it's pretty clear he was salvaged by someone in a way similar to the way Vader was salvaged in Episode III. There is only so much time in the film. We can see more about that in a DVD special features or in the novelization. Finally, people complain about Palpitane's power at the finale. There is a very specific reason he was able to do that at that moment, but apparently the haters were not paying attention.… Expand

I thought The Rise of Skywalker was one of the most respectful endings of any series. It honoured and respected all fans who stuck with the franchise, ending emotionally and neatly.

I found over half of the film had a strong emotionalI thought The Rise of Skywalker was one of the most respectful endings of any series. It honoured and respected all fans who stuck with the franchise, ending emotionally and neatly.

I found over half of the film had a strong emotional connection. I could not imagine the franchise resolving in any other way, now that I have seen it. I bought it on Blu-ray and just watched it for the first time today. What struck me first was the outstanding cinematography, effects, and sets. It was flawless from start to finish in this respect.

The pacing of the movie was excellent too. It went from one excellent idea and place to another. This aspect had me thinking (while watching) that it was a strong Star Wars entry. However I was wary that it might start falling apart after maybe half way through. However it didn't. It just carried on at a pace, and was joined by strong emotional content. From about half way through, tears started coming more and more frequently. I was a mess by the end, and once the credits rolled I was pretty much fallen apart. It took me away from my daily life and for a while and I did not want to come back. My opinion is that it showed strength, honour, and respect to Star Wars fans. Blazing sci-fi.

That may not be a popular take on this film, but it's mine and I am sticking to it. The characters were all incredibly strong and all got good plot parts. To mirror this the acting was top-notch. For this and it's other qualities I mentioned, it felt like a film that was packed to the rafters.… Expand

Bringing back the emperor made sense and the ONLY thing that left me disappointed was no conclusive answer to how he returned.

JJ Abrahms (and Disney). Thank you. I grew up with Star Wars (born the year the original was released). I spent every Saturday morning from when I can remember watching the original trilogy.
This movie gave all the origianl trilogy heroes (Lea, Luke, Han, and all droids) so much of a goodbye in brilliant spirirt, as well as character development and ending arc's and stories of the new characters (and the plot) of the final trilogy. Kylo/Ben's and Reys were particularly great and engaging.

The former is because JJ Abrams had very little to work with from the previous instalment and he had to build all the impactful moments within the confines of IX and who knows the why of the latter?

Part of that is because the movie itself does try to pack too much in a short timeframe. It should have been two movies. But even without that factor, the movie is very comprehensible, just tightly paced. Personally I liked the movie from the start, and liked it more each time I saw it, enjoying the many interconnections within it and references to other movies... to me I really loved the focus on Rey struggling with the question of going to the dark side, for a variety of compelling reasons, and her relation to Kylo Ren. People seem upset that this movie upended some things from The Last Jedi, even though they were plenty happy about "Subverting Expectations" when that movie came out... A year from now many haters will realize just how wrong about this movie they have been, which is very sad as many more people could be enjoying it now without so much vitriol piled on it from a lack of understanding.… Expand

How our PrincessAgainst all odds, JJ absolutely nailed this movie! I was mesmerised back in 77 as a 5 year old kid during episode 4 and again tonight watching episode 9, I was totally captivated, ending the Skywalker saga on a massive high.
How our Princess was handled was absolutely perfect, the movie looked incredible, the cast were all amazing and John Williams score, as always, was consistently awesome. I left the theatre this evening with a tear in my eye and a huge grin on my face.
My 13 year old daughter scored the film 10/10, my 18 year old son 8.5/10, my wife 9/10 and for me it was a perfect 5 star experience. I'm going back to see it again tomorrow, to once again take in that stunningly beautiful final Star Wars shot, in all it's emotional glory.
Star Wars has been a massive part of my life and tonight the saga ended with me feeling full of wonder, awe and absolute total satisfaction; thanks JJ.
Once again the majority of movie critics have demonstrated their irrelevance!… Expand

J. Abrams. La banda sonora es épica, posee un despliegue visual gigante, sus efectos especiales y digitales son superiores a los de cualquier entrega de la saga, la fotografía es hermosa y tiene el montaje más versátil que jamás he visto en un largometraje... las actuaciones son excelentes (nada para el Oscar, pero se destaca el esfuerzo de Adam y Daisy), su historia es entretenida, además soluciona (a las fuerzas) el hilo argumental y narrativo que venía con huecos, incluso desde el inicio de la historia (La Amenaza Fantasma) y claro que no podemos negar que hay fallas, pero a nivel cinematográfico la mayoría de elementos funcionan, siempre y cuando seas un fanático de Star Wars verdadero; seamos sinceros, para entender "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" hay que tener muy fresco todo: cómics, novelas, videojuegos, series animadas, incluso hasta elementos de Legends que ahora son canónicos. Por otra parte, el filme está cargado de nostalgia, hay ciento cuarenta minutos de fan service en la pantalla, un guion casi predecible y con un par de detalles en cuanto a lógica que hubieran podido mejorarse. Sin embargo, los pocos problemas que presenta son de engranaje (sobre todo para el público inepto), y se deben al cambio de director/guionista entre los episodios de esta trilogía; aun así, no deja de ser una de las entregas más emocionantes de la franquicia. Después de ver la película varias veces solo me queda una duda ¿Por qué los “fans” están decepcionados? Quizás los fans de Star Wars, como muchos otros fandoms, no saben lo que quieren, están confundidos y no lo van a admitir porque la mayoría de los fanáticos van con la intención de salir enojados sólo por costumbre, para sentirse únicos y especiales cuando en el fondo son un montón, pero la realidad es que la película esta divertida y seguro que con los años será apreciada como una “obra maestra” del espectáculo audiovisual.… Expand

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

Critics said itI feel like I'm in the twilight zone on this one. TFA was okay (better than it needed to be, as one review I recall put it, pretty accurately), but TLJ was fair to middling at best - a lot I liked about it, and a lot I didn't. Critics said it was the balls, bewilderingly, but whatevs. The Rise Of Skywalker is pretty much being universally panned by fans and critics alike, and I think it might just be the best of the three. Very flawed, for sure, and it probably benefitted somewhat from my lowered expectations (having gorged myself on reddit spoilers, I was already familiar with the outlandish plot points)...but overall I'd say JJ carried this trilogy, and while it will never be the OT, it sure as hell beats the prequels into Alderaanian dust. Time will tell, but it may have even retconned its way into making TLJ better. I mean, it's about spacemen with laser swords, lest we forget, and agonizing over whether certain villains should be dead or not is moot...that said, I would've liked a little more Darth Plagueis worked in there other than the passing reference, but JJ only had a couple hours to wrap up freaking Star Wars. Like any of us could have done any better.… Expand

Why so hate, I love it, it's fun and very plausible. The story flows well, just need your imagination and some starwars knowledge which also include games and animations.

I liked Rise of Skywalker so much more than The Last Jedi. The plot and action were handled so much better. I was happy and sad with Rey's ending. A good and fitting ending to the Star Wars saga. I loved Rey so much.

Loved it, as did everyone I attended with. A perfect popcorn movie and fitting end to the Skywalker trilogies.

While it has flaws, it also has the merit of keeping afloat the ship that Rian Johnson almost sank, which is no small feat. People keep complaining about the amount of Fan Service, but come on, it's Star Wars, that's part of the charm, it'sWhile it has flaws, it also has the merit of keeping afloat the ship that Rian Johnson almost sank, which is no small feat.

What is wrong with people??? Blinded by nostalgia I suppose. This movie was hands down a 10 out 10... up there with the best of Star Wars films. Please watch it without being automatically cynical ... I LOVED IT!
