This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had my expectations really low for this one. As a fan of star wars I was expecting it to be bad (Not bad as disgusting and awful like "The Last Jedi"), but it surprised it me how well it fixed some horrible decisions made in TLJ. Could have been better, but because for all the crap it had to fix from TLJ (Restoration of some good character arcs like Poe, Finn, Luke, improvement for Rey and Kylo's arc, disappearance of the awful romance between Finn and Rose) it ran out of time and some scenes seemed a Little bit rushed. Sure that a lot of things could have been better explained, but are more logically structured than TLJ.

Sincerely, it's the best movie of the sequels, and average compared to the prequels. Falls short compared to the original trilogy.… 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

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

It does not only introduce and maintain strong characters to and of the Star Wars Universe but fills a lot of Star Wars universe issues up, background content etc. Some would say it also fixes past Star Wars movie "errors", if you want to name it this way. The cast is simply astonishing and belongs to the finest actors in our generation. The emotionality of epic scenes for the movie itself as well as independently of and for the entire Star Wars universe is multiple times given and a must for any Star Wars fan as well as anyone who ever had a bit of sympathy for Star Wars, which is nearly the entire planet. How the directors managed to build these stable and strong emotions up, maintaining them and slowly unleashing them toward an audience that is used to emotions in movies during uncertain real life times with sometimes very chaotic emotions, is art second to none. There is one issue with certain very rare appearances of characters and their "behaviour" which does not always seems to match how you would expect them to behave or act, but only of side characters in 2 or 3 minor scenes. This is the only issue that I would have to name "odd", but the special effects alone turn it into a 10 out of 10 movie. The main actors turn it into a 12 / 10 stars movie and the directors and producers turn it into a 15 / 10 stars movie that defines the Star Wars universe new.

An epic movie with an even more epic story and ultimate epic end of the movie. If you think that I am a bit exaggerating? No I am not, just watch the movie.
I have become and even bigger Star Wars fan.

The following comment is really just for those who have interest in the "behind the scenes" meaning of Star Wars, especially when seeing Star Wars as a media presentation of the real US satellite defence program named "Star Wars", to which the franchise belongs as it is a powerful instrument when a satellite defence program receives additionally a massive fandom and related support behind.

I recognised a small easter egg in the movie and the scene placement related to the background information of the Star Wars Rebel insignia. It was for me, for someone who is highly critical of the Islam, always an issue when the Rebel Alliance emblem could be seen similar to the flag of the state of Brunei. The easter egg has shown me the real background information for it. When you close the Rebellion symbol then you have the symbol of the Bajorans, from the Star Trek universe. This for someone who is a lot in the background information of Sci-Fi made in USA was simply fantastic to grasp that both symbols belong together and belong to a wider US government psychology for symbols in sci fi appearances, especially how long they have been planned. Others would say it is just coincidence, but for this I simply know too much of US government symbol placement. Not to mention the near subtle only association for a "phoenix" symbol, of which I had to read myself and would never come to that associative conclusion.… Expand

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

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

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.

This movie is by no means perfect, but it is action packed and finally makes the new characters (Rey, Poe, Finn) interesting. It was hard not to leave this movie and not feel a sense of disappointment however. Not with the movie specifically, but with the missed opportunity of the entire sequel trilogy. How Disney did not plan a cohesive storyline is truly shocking. The trilogy is disjointed and clearly rushed, offering nothing to further the original trilogy. Going forward, I hope Disney treats this property with the respect it deserves and not rush out content.… Expand

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

I can understand some folks not being blown away by Rise of Skywalker. It's not the ending to the trilogy that shatters expectations and rises above the just-OK quality of its two predecessors. Yet, for all the hate the movie is receiving byI can understand some folks not being blown away by Rise of Skywalker. It's not the ending to the trilogy that shatters expectations and rises above the just-OK quality of its two predecessors. Yet, for all the hate the movie is receiving by some, it's actually quite good. Star Wars has been about nostalgia for literally everyone that saw the original trilogy before the extra films came out and Rise of Skywalker taps into that nostalgia just enough to give you that warm and triumphant feeling now-and-then. The way this story was told wasn't outstanding - it just wasn't, but it was adequate enough to not harm the enjoyment of the film. Rey's story arc comes full circle and I love the background and how it plays into the events that culminated into the final moments of this 9th episode but I also think there were better choices to be made in how early the big reveal comes. In fact, Rey's narrative in this movie is a great microcosm of the entire film. While it definitely works and is nice to see played out it never really builds significant momentum despite having most of the movie to culminate into that epic moment that Return of the Jedi had (and the parallels between the two movies is quite significant when you step back and consider all that happens).

Side note: C3PO's presence in this film is excellently played when the setting allows for it and I truly enjoyed what JJ Abrams and company did with him here.

I'd have to agree with some of the critics on the film as a whole though. The true identity of this movie felt vague. I didn't see a Star Wars that sought to be its own thing in a succession of movies. The Last Jedi definitely tried to do that (though I disagree with what it ultimately did and how that story was told - enough to consider it the worst of the 3 new movies). I would have liked JJ Abrams to take more chances with Rise of Skywalker and set its own tone. At times, it does and the movie really feels exhilarating when that is the case. Other times I would just sort of accept what's going on and try to not be irritated that there are some moments that felt kind of thrown together last-minute instead of being carefully thought out and crafted. Still, none of that broke the movie for me. JJ Abrams definitely saved this trilogy of Star Wars and sends off the main story after 9 episodes with a fond farewell and what I can only assume is meant to be an absolute final movie. I don't expect there to be an Episode 10 (not succeeding the story of these now-9 episodes that is) but I wonder what might come after, if anything. That's another topic of discussion entirely but I like that this story is kind of wrapped up. I didn't enjoy some of the major narrative choices for The Last Jedi and felt the Force Awakens was overly simplistic in its major plot progression and lacked originality, so I had yet to be satisfied with anything from the new lineage of Star Wars movies (though I've enjoyed the spin-offs so far - Rogue One is excellent). That changed with Rise of Skywalker. I wasn't blown away but I am evidently much more satisfied with it than some of the haters that are trashing the User Score. It's a bit of a crowd-pleaser at times but I don't think most people will hate it for that. It could have been better but I don't know how much better it really could have been. A small handful of re-crafted scenes and perhaps a little less "busy work" for the characters which has them all over the place for the ~2.5 hours the movie runs might have gone a long way but, for me anyways, I didn't find the "problems" with the movie to be nearly as dramatic and ruinous as other have made them out to be. I think I really liked it but I know I didn't absolutely love it.… Expand

Much Like Kylo Ren rebuilding his mask in the beginning of the movie, J.J. Abrams pieces together the fragments of his original vision for this trilogy after it was shattered when Rian Johnson was given control over the middle chapter. AndMuch Like Kylo Ren rebuilding his mask in the beginning of the movie, J.J. Abrams pieces together the fragments of his original vision for this trilogy after it was shattered when Rian Johnson was given control over the middle chapter. And like that rebuilt mask it's cool to look at, but the cracks are visible and it isn't the most fulfilling thing to see return.

Largely because it once again feels derivative of the original trilogy. Remember how the final battle in The Force Awakens was basically the same as A New Hope's, only bigger? Well the climatic showdown here closely resembles the one found in Return of the Jedi. Only bigger. The whole film is largely comprised of scenes, moments, and a plot that mirrors those that came before, with a few concessions having been made for the things that happened in The Last Jedi that Abrams obviously didn't plan on.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised though. Abrams' film career has largely been defined by nostalgia. Even his only work on the silver screen to not be tied to a preexisting franchise is a throwback to Spielbergian science-fiction thrillers from the '80s. It's all the man has really proven himself capable of offering.

Well, that and exciting setpieces with gorgeous visuals. The action sequences are thrilling and there's a lot of great scenery. The new planets visited are memorable and I loved all the creative new aliens species encountered over the course of the movie that made the former action-figure collector in me drool.

As to why I find Rise of Skywalker's emulative nature so problematic whereas I didn't in The Force Awakens, it really comes down to two reasons. The first being that these young heroes didn't live up to the ones they were intended to follow in the footsteps of. BB-8's presence dropped off after the first film, Finn's most defining character trait was his one-track mind obsession with Rey, and this is the first time Poe actually felt like one of the main three protagonists after largely being sidelined for the majority of this trilogy and being little more than an ornery screw up whenever he was onscreen (why Leia wanted him as the resistance's replacement general I'll never know).

The second being because of The Last Jedi. When Rian Johnson took the reins for that entry this trilogy became the confused brainchild of two people with very different intentions. As a result we are left with an overarching story that feels disjointed and at odds with itself. Rise of Skywalker being the concluding chapter bears the brunt of this conflict and comes up short at establishing cohesion. Instead choosing to ignore its most direct predecessor as much as possible.

All is not lost though. The film has a saving grace in Kylo and Ren. The culmination of their shared journey is sweet even if neither end up in the most satisfying position. Watching them both struggle with the darkness inside them and develop such a unique bond has been incredibly compelling and any moment where they are onscreen together is lightning.

I'm also not going to sit here and act like I didn't find the whole thing entertaining. Abrams packed this with so much spectacle I found it impossible to take my eyes off the screen even if a lot of it felt like déjà vu. That being said I am glad to see this trilogy finally come to an end. Abrams' resurrection of the Skywalker family certainly had its moments and I did have fun, but at the same time I don't see how his story did anything for them that the OT didn't.… 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

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

Many things seemed a bit too convenient throughout the movie. But at the end it still boils down to a satisfying end to the saga, especially after the disappointing The Last Jedi.

I quite liked how they wrapped it all up. Could it have been better? Should it have been different? I have no idea. To me, as a casual Star Wars fan, it felt right and worked quite well.

The fan service moments did tend to be a little too much at times, but most of it was pretty awesome. I didn't mind that they put it in there although much of it seemed unnecessary. The copy-pasting of old scenes was a bit much at times, but at the same time I kind of loved it.

Entertained throughout, great acting, great characters, and Rey was awesome! It felt like a whimper after The Last Jedi, but in this movie she is given the attention and story she deserved. I'm glad this movie exists and I'm happy the saga is now done.

However, apparently, after that film's very divisive reaction among fans, Disney decided to completely reverse course and fall back into the "original trilogy rehash" tactic they used to make The Force Awakens. The result is an extremely awkward finale that spends much time poorly retconning virtually every plot development from its predecessor, while also frantically to fit the existing plotline into a mimic of Return of the Jedi. It'd be petty to not at least mention that the CGI is unsurprisingly up to Disney standards, and at least adds some eye-candy enjoyment to the battle scenes and the like. However, overall, the movie feels like an underwhelming finale to a trilogy completely different than the one actually released. The Rise of Skywalker is not just a bad finale, or a bad sequel. It's straight-up a bad film.… Expand

The final chapter of the Skywalker saga, the Resistance facing the First Order once more in an epic battle of good versus evil. As always this is a spoiler free review, rest assured there are no plot details but if you are a die-hard StarThe final chapter of the Skywalker saga, the Resistance facing the First Order once more in an epic battle of good versus evil. As always this is a spoiler free review, rest assured there are no plot details but if you are a die-hard Star Wars fan what are you doing reading this? Go see the film.

The Rise of Skywalker is well and truly for the fans, and if you can criticise it for at least one thing it might actually be paying too much fan service. But do I care? No, I was too busy enjoying myself. It’s not perfect but it’s entertaining, emotional and has some show stealing performances. Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver together carried The Rise of Skywalker. I loved absolutely everything about them, the focus is very much on them and this films gives the opportunity to show us just what they're capable of as Rey and Kylo Ren. You also have everything else expected with a Star Wars movie, spectacular visual effects and the iconic John Williams soundtrack. It ties up as many loose ends as it can, it has a real sense of closure and will hit you with a lot of nostalgia. Perhaps J.J. Abrams was being a little overly ambitious with The Rise of Skywalker, the pacing for much of this film wasn’t great if I’m honest. A lot of scenes seemed to be cut short and I found myself wanting a lot more. There is a lot jam-packed into it and certain scenes suffer as a result. This also creates a problem with underused characters along with a huge amount of cameos. I’m not saying I wasn’t on board with this but again it all felt like a desperate attempt to get back on good terms with the angry fans. By giving certain characters little to no screen time but stuffing in an unnecessary amount of cameos felt cheap and honestly wasn't needed. The Force Awakens gave us some much needed new blood to the Star Wars franchise, The Last Jedi expanded on this and was a lot more ambitious. I was a little disappointed to see The Rise of Skywalker abandon this but I'll just have to get over it. Say what you want about The Last Jedi but it took a lot more risks compared to The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker. They both feel very safe and by the book but in it's defense it kept me entertained. I personally love all three movies in this new trilogy but some people feel completely differently. And then there are some mad bastards who'll defend the dreaded prequels, we all have a preference and by trying too hard to please everyone you may end up pleasing no one. Not everyone is loving it but the only way you'll know for sure is if you see it for yourself.

After the controversial response to Rian Johnson’s take on Star Wars it really feels like J.J Abrams was doing some damage control and trying to win over all those pissed off fans and what is the result? More pissed off fans, no matter what, you can’t please everyone and if you don’t like The Rise of Skywalker, fine. Good for you for having an opinion but don’t attack someone else for liking it. I loved it and many others feel the same. It’s nice to be able to enjoy a Star Wars film because aside from this new trilogy I haven’t enjoyed a Star Wars film since the original movies so yes I enjoyed every minute of The Rise of Skywalker, it puts a nice definitive ending to the story and I’ll no doubt see it again. Highly recommended for all the Star Wars fans.… Expand

Debo decir que después de verla en el cine en formato 3D que estoy ampliamente sorprendido, supera en todos los aspectos a su predecesora The Last Jedi, los tres actos se sienten bien parejos entre sí, la acción es constante, repleta de aventuras que exponen a los protagonistas a literalmente todo, el factor nostalgia que caracterizó a The Force Awakens acá prácticamente no se ve teniendo que depender de la esencia clásica de la saga, el desenlace si bien no me pareció malo, se me hizo cliché y repetitivo, de igual forma lo disfruté, los momentos épicos y emotivos tienen la desgracia de ser muy fugaces y no lograr conectarse del todo con ellos, sin embargo, fue toda una experiencia cinematográfica si de aspectos técnicos hablamos, para ser la supuesta última película de la saga, siento que le falto un poco de tacto.… 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.

Had a little trouble deciding on the rating for this. The left side of my brain is frustrated with the many plot and structuring issues, but the right side of my brain was absolutely entertained by this.

The movie has maintained the currentHad a little trouble deciding on the rating for this. The left side of my brain is frustrated with the many plot and structuring issues, but the right side of my brain was absolutely entertained by this.

The movie has maintained the current and original trilogy's legacy of being the definition of a popcorn film. The action is great. The movie looks fantastic, really the most visually impressive of all the Star Wars films.

The cast and characters are again great. I'm glad to see the trio of Finn (John Boyega), Rey (Daisy Ridley), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaacs) all together for a substantial stretch of time. The interactions between the three are great. (They could've had more time together.) I also liked the new characters with the exception of the Knights of Ren who despite being first teased in Force Awakens, just don't do enough.

The humor works well. However, I felt even though C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) has been comic relief since the beginning, he was too aggressively jokey. I liked that this continued the last film's theme of hope.

Now for the problems. These three films changed creative control from JJ Abrams to Rian Johnson and back to Abrams without the Disney brass doing enough to pre-plan or control consistency. Abrams did a lot of things I found so maddening that I'm shocked that the producers greenlit them. The major threat in this movie introduced so quickly and with such little plausibility. Reveals and plot elements pop up so arbitrarily that they don't feel natural at all. It's a little like poor fan fiction. Abrams jams way too much story in here in order to arrive at the conclusion he wants. I felt Finn just wasn't given enough room to breathe and was disappointed with how his story ended.

The whole change in directorial voice is exacerbated by the fact that Abrams like Johnson before him is actively resistant in running with what he is given. Abrams does something that is a major slap in the face to his predecessor, which is so mishandled in its execution. It takes you out of the film. Say what you will about the Canto Blight subplot in The Last Jedi, but I liked the character of Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran). I didn't like that they cut her role so short in this not to mention completely axed her set up from the last film as a romantic interest for one of the characters. It's like Abrams decided he didn't like her because he didn't create her and she wasn't in his plans.

J.J. still has his Achilles heel of being too blatantly nostalgic. It isn't half as prevalent as in the Force Awakens, but there are a couple moments where it raises its head and is downright insulting to the audience.

I know I talked way more about the cons and the pros, but it's easier to talk about what doesn't work than what does. When it works, the movie pulled me in and would make forget the problem areas when they weren't around. It still embodies the essence of a Star Wars film. I'd rank this as the weakest of the trilogy but better than Solo and the prequel trilogy. This is one of those films where your opinion could really go either way. I've found both negative and positive criticism of this to be accurate. If you're already uber angry at the first two movies and didn't think or were unsure if you wanted to continue, then you really might not want this. However, if you enjoyed the ride so far, I suggest you take the gamble.… Expand

Алле? Вы вообще смотрели фильмы раньше?

Ужасный сюжет, высосанная из пальца история. Кино для галочки. Худший в мире фансервис, я никогда в жизни не видел такого бесталанного и неуклюжего вкрапления элементов, должных вызывать ностальгию.

Камон! 1 шутка за фильм! Ни одной эмоции от начала до конца. Все дежурно далее некуда. Первый ААА фильм, который я перематывал.

Слава богу я не пошел в кино на этот лютый трэш.

Нет пафоса??? Ой ли! Главная актриса — сплошное сборище клишированной моторики и психофизики. Главный летчик — со времен Изгоя Один гробит кино своими напутственными речами уровня «как я провел это восстание». Главный плохиш — сыгран настолько ужасно, что он комичен.

Все размыто как акварель, абсолютно проходимо, не вызывает никаких эмоций, пока ты не осознаешь, что вокруг этого бездарного фильма крутятся огромнейшие ресурсы, которых бы хватило на несколько крутых талантливых произведений как минимум. И тут начинается фрустрация и огорчение.

P.S. Я видимо не фанат ЗВ, потому что мне безумно нравится оригинальная трилогия, 1-3 Эпизоды, и даже 2 первых фильма из новой саги, мультфильм, лего-игры, игры времен PS1|PS2 и Dark Forces, а еще у меня есть лего-фигурки Дарта Вейдера и Дарта Молла. Да, харизматичных и закосплееных до дыр эпичных ребят из некогда крутой саги.… Expand
