An incredible end to the Skywalker saga, Lived up to my expectations

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2019)

The Rise of Skywalker blew me away, with an incredibly imaginative and emotional story, Rey has finished her path to becoming a Jedi Master. With appearances from Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, it has it all with the characters playing their roles very well.
The story feels complete and large in scale with lush and detailed cinematography and direction. Finn also shares a good amount of screen time in the movie and does great aswell. The lightsaber battles have been mastered in their craft and kinetic nature as the sequeces are dazzling and amazing. In the end it is a movie all about hope and redemption and was an amazing cinematic achievement and left me satisfied as a Star Wars fan as I left the theater. It is going to take a few more viewings for me to judge just where the movie falls in my personal favourite list of Star Wars films, but for me for the time being this was a more than satisfying end to the Skywalker saga
