The Fall of Star Wars is Complete

Rating: 2/10 (24 December 2019)

If you just go to the movies for surface level entertainment, you may very well enjoy this. If you go for escapism, big set pieces, lots of action, sensory overload, and only demand a minimum level of emotion and storytelling, you may actually like The Rise of Skywalker. But as the conclusion to a 9 episode saga, as well of a trilogy, and as a good story in its own right, this is a very rushed, messy, and wholly unsatisfying finale...There are some unintentionally hilarious moments throughout and the fan service and sentimentality and emotional manipulation is laid on very thick. In Fact Rise of Skywalker relies on nostalgia for most of its emotional scenes....the biggest problem is the storytelling decisions, lapses in logic and established concepts being pushed aside lazily in service To a very bad script...its not entirely awful. The actors, particularly Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver do a fine job and their scenes together are pretty good. And Jar Jar Abrams knows how to direct action and keep the energy going...overall its a piece of crap though. In many ways the worst Star Wars movie
