I was a big fan of The Force Awakens and I love most of Abrams’ work so I went in with high hopes. Coming out of the film, I was on cloud nine. From start to finish, the film had me on the edge of my seat as it whirled me around this amazing Star Wars galaxy. While I agree that this film, compared to its predecessors, has the most criticisms, I found myself realizing that some of what you hear others say should be heard with a grain of salt. At most, this film’s major problem is it’s break neck speed. From it’s first moments to its last, it barely gives you any time to breathe - or the characters for that matter. Twenty to thirty minutes would have made this movie that much better, however, all of what you need to enjoy this film IS there. Even if it’s a little fast.

In the end, for me, spending any time in a galaxy far, far away is a good time, and if you go in ready to go on an adventure - I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s not just a wonderful end to the sequel trilogy but a beautiful reminder of how special all 9 films in the saga are.… Expand

Only reason it’s not a 10 is due to the handling of Palpatine’s return and the sidelining of Finn and Rose.

And it really should be called Star Wars: The Great Macguffin Hunt. I mean it did have some good scenes, which is more than I can say for Last Jedi. But almost nothing felt earned. It’s blatantly clear that the villain was shoehorned in after TLJ left the trilogy without one other than emo Kylo. And they clearly were trying to retcon TLJ out despite what JJ said. But in my opinion they didn’t go far enough. And the fact this came out the same week as The Mandalorian’s finale, which was a stellar ride through the Star Wars universe... just laid bare Rise of Skywalker’s inadequacies.… Expand

No amount of over-production including decent acting can compensate for a poorly written story.
Great story can be compelling with animated lego bricks or stick figures - it just does not work the other way.

2. Too much cramped into a single movie
No amount of plot lines cramped into a two hours plus can compensate for the fact that you just do not care about any of its characters or ridiculous plot lines. The Star Wars Finale had to deal with so many characters and plot lines' loose ends that it was a genuine mission impossible (no pun intended) to make something meaningful out of it. Starting with Lucas who started the self-destruction of Star Wars with his own prequels, so hired guns can't really 'fix' the unfixable here, to be fair to JJ. This is like a full season TV show summary in two hours with time enough only for key scenes but not enough for character and plot build up and pacing necessary to build and tell the story well. 3. "All I Want Is a Story. If You Have a Message, Send It by Western Union" - old Hollywood adage
In a time when movies are conceived and censored at the same time to appease repressive regimes around the world any righteousness on part of the Production that western version of the film can tick all the boxes of inclusivity and social righteousness for the western world while adding similar amount of tick boxes for the other parts of the world is just nonsense. From the main character being female, to ensemble cast and some of the sidekicks and subtle or not so subtle plot sidetracks and background action. None of it matters if it is not progressing the main story and if it is a cheap add-on. Disney or producers individually are wealthy enough to make donations to whatever the cause they wish on their own time and money. Nothing wrong to be engaged with the issues of the day -- but you have to realise that you need to put your neck on the line, all the way, and not just buy few cheap message badges and put them on your collar. Few thoughts left on the 'cutting floor'....

Logic has left the building here and I don't mean the trivial details but core fabric of the story that is effectively a Frankenstein monster made out of patches and leftovers of earlier unfinished threads and burden of 'legacy'.

The deus ex machina gets invoked so many times that it is comical (as it is the case of earlier installments of sequel trilogy) -- anything goes and anything can happen and if not on screen it can be explained away in some stupid explanatory dialogue and therefore you don't care and mostly try to enjoy a parade of well produced visual sequences that more-less mean not a thing. You cannot just explain away your back story, or characters motivations in an expositional dialogue or characters self-reflection -- this is the tool for cheap TV. We expect better from so called A-list productions. Hence don't hire a cheap TV writers-directors who seem to know how to manipulate (cheap) cliff-hangers but do not master the art of story.

Emotions in this movie seem almost artifically induced by the overblown cues of music and production and not the storyline you care about. Sort of like a laugh track in TV comedies -- sometimes it saves a mediocre joke. It has to be said that beside original trilogy (parts 4-6) things went really bad for Star Wars long, long time ago...
The reboot is just following legacy of Lucas prequels with too much plot and exposition somehow substituting for lack of basic compelling story. It is somehow as Lucas (and everyone else) forgot that at its core Star Wars were based on Campbell theory of hero's journey - a simple (maybe simplistic) story of good and evil and hero's journey of self discovery.

Lucas genius was to imagine this in the backdrop of groundbreaking, never before seen visual and production effects that blew everyone away. However the storyline was solid in its simplicity. It did not contain any of the clutter of the universe building or sidekick characters that were a dead weight to progression of the main story.
Lucas attempted to do that in prequels - and failed.

Fast forward to today, the effects and production moved on in such ways that anything can be visualised in pixel perfect quality. Anything but a badly written story -- no amount of wizardry in production can make uninteresting characters alive, confusing and meaningless plot lines interesting to watch. It is funny how the very expensive CGI that is basically expected and can be achieved through high enough budget to pay for all the high tech necesary while no amount of money can guarantee a well crafted story which is as low tech as pen and paper. Bottom line -- not worth a movie ticket. Looking forward to start anew with someone graduating from Pixar.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [SPOILERS] Dear #Disney, I've never before felt like leaving the cinema whilst watching #StarWars. You've almost succeeded in that accomplishment, but I guess you couldn't even pull that off. I am not a fanboy, but that was the worst film in the series by a long shot (episode 1 was much better). I couldn't find a single line of good dialogue as they just all repeated what was happening (it was clearly written by two 10 year olds and coked-up @jjabramsofficial.) I beg you Mr Abrahams quit directing as you are clearly unable to produce any original content nor anything that even resembles good story telling. The film felt like three films mashed into one with an oversized hammer, there were tons of boring unrelatable characters who I couldn't care less about, and no single setting lasted for more than 30 seconds as Abrahams abused Disney's travel budget. The constant jumps between countless places clearly showed JJ cannot do any sort of story telling that captures cinema goers attention. Mate, more is not better - did they not teach you that in film school or did you skive off? Moreover, @harrisonford_official_page how much did they pay you again or was your appearance part of the original 30 million jackpot? The bad grandpa twist, crippled Palp, was absurd just as his demise (again, cooked himself up - don't play with electricity man). Also, the lightsabers.. Oh dear, I believe I could do better with a sword if I had two broken arms. The only character not to make a splash on the screen was Jar Jar as he would probably produce better acting and dialogue than these bunch of sorry arse actors - careers over even before they had begun. Trash. Just trash. Oh, yep that's a photo of light cavalry charge atop a fleet of star destroyers... the whole film is brain dead and logic could not be found in any of the 20 planets Abrahams shoved into it. On the plus size there's a new robot which will top the bull**it toy list this year and it looks like a @dyson blowdrier. The best thing about the film was the popcorn. 2.5/10.… Expand

It is to distract the most intelligent movie going base ever from this unoriginal, insulting, painfully predictable cliche. Rey appears to have gained twenty-plus despite multiple bindings.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was horrible people! It's like George Lucas's baby has been taken off to foster care where it's being subjected to every possible type of abuse by foster parents Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams, and there is nothing he can do about it. They just make things up about the Force as they go along. There is no consistency. Where did all of this telepathy come from? Not only that but now with the force they can grab objects across the galaxy and have entire light saber battles across the galaxy! Leia could use the force this whole time but instead of training other Jedi or actually using the force they had her zip through space with no oxygen back into the safety of the ship and barely train Rey. All of this magical force stuff they made up drained Leia and Luke literally to death but it had no affect on Rey and Kylo. They didn't get drained at all. I don't see how any grown adult could actually like this movie or the last two lol. It was made for children who don't know any better. If I could give this a negative number I would. How are these untalented directors and writers getting to ruin movies like these? I'm no writer or director but I'm certain if I did my research I could at least help make a better story than this that would make sense. Hollywood should just close down or something if this is the best they can do. I kind of hate the Star Wars of today thanks to these clowns. People are only going to see this thing out of boredom and on the strength of the earlier movies not because this thing is any good at all. The gay kiss at the end was like what? I'm a gay man so I'm pro love but there was no room in this movie for any kiss because the story is garbage. Tell a good story then think about being inclusive later. Rey and Kylo's kiss was weird and awkward. They wasted Palpatine in this movie as I knew they would. I don't want to waste my whole night but in summary this movie was even worse than the last two. Fire Kathleen Kennedy, JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson and let Kevin Feige redo Star Wars!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fan service: 8
Actual Story: 2

Rise of the Skywalker is a fast forward movie trying to reckon the "important" parts of The Last Jedi. While at the same time tries to give you a story.

The problem that I have with this trilogy is that it make feel that now this whole SAGA is no longer a bout the Skywalker's, is but instead the Emperor Palpatine. The narrator of the trailer should be saying, Thr Emperor Palpatine is back and now his granddaughter Palpatine RISES to confront him.

One way you could fix the titles of episode 8 and 9 is if you inverted those titles. Episode 8 should be called Rise of the Skywalker since Luke Skywalker Rise to confront his actions one more time. And episode 9 should be called Te Last Jedi. Rey ends being thr Last Jedi at the of her chapter.

Episode 7, 8 & 9 feels like a small reboot of episode 4, 5 & 6. Cause you can watch this new trilogy's without ever watching the first six movies since they eliminated that Anakin is the chosen one, theres no need to watch his six movie arcs. It's a shame that they wanted to give you a movie focused on fan service instead of give us a proper story on the Skywalker SAGA.… Expand

To hell with all the people involved in this abhorrent excuse of a movie. Do NOT waste your time or money on this crap fest. Do not sully what little appreciation you have for the prequel and original trilogies by allowing your senses to take in this putrid Woke nonsense that cares more about boring the viewer with their agenda and narrative as opposed to entertaining the viewer. Disney and all their billions cannot save them from the crap that is the new trilogy. **** this movie, **** this trilogy, and **** every single moron involved in this sham of a project.… Expand

Well, it was a great movie for children. Really dumb children. There are so many things wrong with this movie I don’t even know where to start. I’ll sum it up as a waste of time and money.

As a stand alone movie, detached from reality, broken away from anything else Star Wars and that had 200 million dollars dumped into it, it's okay. As the 9th installment that was supposed to shine as the apex of the grand adventure that George started spanning several generations with an established canon and formula, Disney and Kennedy spit in our faces and ruined what was going to be an amazing series for the past several years. Physically going to George Lucas and throwing away his creative instruction for his own series over Disney money only further incinerated the dumpster fire that was started with the constant bickering and firing of directors and producers. IX made VII and VIII make even less sense, and throws away so much of what was already established as canon. IX does a good job on trying to tie the loose knots that is killing off all male roles, making the sith (Kilo) look like an unconfident **** sorry excuses for character development, worse romance than Twilight had, and story development time wasting. This movie feels like it was rushed, poorly executed, and molded perfectly to please critics and leave the entire body of fans in the gutter. IX is a perfect example of pandering, you can see that divide perfectly between the people and the critics. 6 year old me is still shaking his head over this poor development that was established between Lucas Art's movies, and what was established in VII. I created an account just to convey this disappointment. This isn't the Star Wars we know, this is Disney's portrayal of what they wanted Star Wars to be.… Expand

The pacing is terrible, the plot revolves around another macguffin just like the last two entries into the main Star Wars movies, it craps all over the original 6 Star Wars movies and makes them redundant, Rey is made more powerful than any Jedi or Sith who has ever lived, nothing is meaningful or has any real impact, and any consistency that once existed in the canon of Star Wars is gone. So many plot holes have been opened as a direct result of this garbage, and has done more damage to the franchise than The Last Jedi EVER did. They bank so hard on nostalgia to try to get the old fans of the Original Trilogy back, but they also, simultaneously, try to play it as safe as possible and not take any risks. The entire trilogy that Disney has made, they're just reshoots of the Original Trilogy, minus the meaningful story, lovable characters, or good writing. If you're a Star Wars fan, heed my warning, steer clear of this dumpster fire at all costs. If you're just looking for a movie that you can enjoy casually, look elsewhere; there's too much exposition for this to be enjoyable casually either.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The half star, is for the cast and crew (including photography etc) other than writing and director, who contribute their 100% of their skills and ability on not letting it sucks. And let me clarify in no shape and form I blame them. Highlights has to be given to Adam Driver, and the chemistry Daisy Ridley has with him, Grant and Gleeson (apologies if I omit someone who perform well).

Now this gets out of way, let me clarify further.

As a Star Wars fan, I am more than happy to give some leeway has it been mediocre or generic or cheesy. Its neither of those but a series of montages string together and barely hold together. I am not exaggerating and will freely admit I have plenty of guilty pleasure on bad movies. But 90% of the time it does not even form a semi-coherent plot. Most of the characters looks like they muttered from a quote machine with words jumbled from previous 8 movies, aimed to please all fans of different tastes. Few actors have any idea how to handle such horrid lines and I dont hold the blame to them, besides extremely bad directing. Plot wise it violates so many fundamental principles. There are no actual stakes on hand. Rey confesses multiple times that she dread her vision seeing herself in Palpatine Throne, probably a mirror to Anakin's fears but in no shape, form or any indication this horror can be felt by general audience. None of the character has any progress or regression from TLJ development. And worst of all the film seems to understand so little about honoring previous 8 films. It so shallowly quote from previous 8 films and there are no soul to their formula.

In addition they fundamentally wasted one of the generational talents, mainly Adam Driver. How this guy manage to rise his part I could not have imagine. In short, this film feels like a massive diarrhea of multiple plot ideas and character exposition - but it came to nothing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can’t believe what I just watched! The original trilogy was amazing, the prequels were good but the sequels and in particular the final episode that wraps all the story arcs up is amazingly bad. Literally bad, no joke.
I won’t go into detail as I’m sure others will do that just fine, but in short over the top action (heroes galloping along the hull of a star destroyer on space horses) to Rey having healing hands (death isn’t a problem anymore apparently) or how about thousands of ships all equipped with death star lasers, or how about the fact that to beat the fleet of Death Star ships all you need is Lanto to take the Falcon on a joyride to gather up more ships than we’ve ever seen before, all within the space of a couple hours. And the kisses, the one with Rey and Kylo and the lesbian one to tick the political correctness box...
It’s bad, I certainly won’t be going to see any more star wars movies at the cinema, certainly won’t be putting my faith in JJ Abrams again as he’s the master of remakes and am sure his future movies will be exactly like this one, rubbish rehashes of previous films in the same way this was Return of the Jedi mixed with bits of all the other movies... at least George Lucas told new stories with the prequels...
Good job J J Abrams, good job...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. what a sad, depressing, disappointing, empty, soul-less, joy-less abomination of a movie. THE FORCE AWAKENS had some potential, then THE LAST JEDI took a huge dump all over that, and now THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is just an absolute mess that tries desperately to dazzle everyone with huge action, bad humor, and sickening amounts of member-berries. the Skywalker Saga began with THE PHANTOM MENACE and ended with RETURN OF THE JEDI. this Disney Trilogy is meaningless. they resurrected Palpatine just so that Mary Sue could kill him again, which makes Anakin's redemption and sacrifice completely worthless. they're trying to tell us that Rey is the "real" Chosen One, but she has no character, no arc, no hero's journey, no depth, nothing that makes her interesting in any way. the same goes for all the other new characters, and all the original characters have been completely ruined, reduced to failures, and killed off. i will never watch this trilogy again, it is not canon, it serves no purpose, it has no meaning, it is completely incoherent and didn't make me care about any of the characters or any of the so-called "story". Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams had the opportunity to make something great, but they completely failed. their trilogy is irrelevant and should not be considered part of the Skywalker Saga. all the Skywalkers were killed off, and Mary Sue Palpatine took their name and their home. it's disrespectful to the legacy of STAR WARS and needs to be erased from canon and forgotten.… Expand

La historia se pintaba interesante y los nuevos protagonistas reflejaban bien los nuevos tiempos, mientras que losLa nueva trilogía de Star Wars comenzó con un remake con los mismos trucos, pero más grandes. Pese a eso se sintió bien. La historia se pintaba interesante y los nuevos protagonistas reflejaban bien los nuevos tiempos, mientras que los antiguos estaban ahí para ser un tributo a los viejos tiempos. So far, so good.

Entonces llegó la segunda entrega, el divisivo episodio 8, que hizo algo que Star Wars (al menos en las películas) no hacía hace tiempo: tomar riesgos. Los productores le dijeron adiós a JJ Abrams y trajeron a Rian Johnson, un directorazo, que hizo un trabajo decente. Su peli no solo le trajo novedades visuales a Star Wars, también llevó la historia a nuevos lugares, o al menos nuevos para las películas, porque en juegos y cómics mucho por lo que apostó Johnson ya existía y era muy aclamado.

Y, sin embargo, los fanáticos la odiaron.

En pocas palabras, les molestaba que el universo de heroicos jedis y malignos siths muriera y diera paso a una galaxia menos fantasiosa, con más áreas grises, donde los protagonistas no solo se alejan del pasado, sino que quieren destruirlo.

Entonces los fanáticos estaban enojados, pero no tanto como los productores que no se tomaron bien que su película no fuera un rotundo éxito y que las redes se llenaran de trolls defenestrándola por haberse atrevido a alejarse de la fórmula clásica de un filme de Star Wars. ¿De qué les servía que el episodio 8, con todos los valientes riesgos tomados, fuera aclamada por la crítica si al final los fanáticos no estaban contentos? ¿Quién pone la plata finalmente?

El episodio 9 de la nueva trilogía de Star Wars retorna a JJ Abrams, quien ya no puede usar el truco de hacer un remake más grande y que, además, se tiene que tragar la tarea de mandar al demonio todo lo logrado por su predecesor. Si Rian Johnson retrocedió cobardemente, en los últimos minutos de su película, renunciando a todo lo que él mismo quiso establecer, en el episodio 9 Abrams le pone pasión a enterrarlo y usar su tumba de inodoro.

Ok, es válido. En todo caso, ¿tenía otra? Yo supongo que eso fue lo que le encomendaron los productores al contratarlo y, bueno, por algo también él aceptó. Pero, ¿cuál es el precio de cumplir esa tarea? Mejor dicho, ¿cuál es el resultado?

El resultado es un filme complaciente, apresurado, demasiado ocupado en contradecir a su antecesor como para preocuparse en ser algo en si mismo. El episodio 9 es una mala película, es un episodio de la temporada final de Game of Thrones, es una seguidilla de momentos sacados de la nada para tratar de mantener una coherencia que se siente forzada y que intenta apoyarse en complacer todas las quejas de los fanáticos ofendidos con el episodio 8 para funcionar. Lo cual no quiere decir que la historia no tenga cierta belleza. Es ciertamente un cierre, tiene momentos emocionantes, instantes en los que te preguntas qué pasará, qué harán estos nuevos protagonistas a los que les agarraste tanto cariño. Y en este sentido es lindo notar que Star Wars, su universo, sus personajes, todavía pueden despertar algo en ti.

El verdadero gran problema del episodio 9 es el pasado. No lo digo solamente por el episodio 8, sino porque los productores, los guionistas y el director están demasiado divididos en complacer a quienes no pudieron soportar un universo de Star Wars distinto al que siempre conocieron, que el resultado es un filme lleno de momentos que en lugar de sentirse emotivos te hacen poner los ojos en blanco. No por nada el gran villano de la película es una figura del pasado (que nadie sabe cómo es que retornó) que reduce la lucha de los nuevos protagonistas a una maquinación suya y nos retorna a la clásica historia del bien contra el mal. ¿Dónde está la complejidad social del episodio 8? ¿Dónde está el reto de destruir a los jedis y obligarlos a evolucionar a algo más que una orden de dogmáticos magos del espacio con el poder del Deus Ex Machina? ¿Dónde está todo lo que Rian Johnson intentó hacer para que esta saga, por fin, evolucionara en sus filmes, tal como logró evolucionar en otros medios?

Pues, nada de eso está en el episodio 9, eso es seguro.

Finalmente, solo quiero decir que adoro a Rey. Ha sido uno de mis personajes favoritos de Star Wars de todos los tiempos, así que intenté ver el cierre de su historia sin cinismos, ni mala predisposición. Estaba emocionado por las implicaciones sobre ella del episodio 8 que la proyectaban como una heroina novedosa, una heroina para estos tiempos, así que fue duro verla convertida en otro títere asimilado al pasado, estancada en la necesidad de fanáticos y productores de no explorar diferentes aspectos de la fantasía.

Bien por ellos. Lo que es yo, seguiré viendo The Mandalorian, pero ya sin buscar una nueva esperanza en la galaxia de Star Wars, solo la espera sistemática de más de lo mismo porque solo así se gana dinero y se mantiene en silencio a los trolls.… Expand
