Grande Finale Is Missing Something In Spite of Ridley & Driver

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2019)

STAR WARS: EPISODE IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (2019) *** Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Naomi Ackie, Domhnall Gleeson, Richard E. Grant, Lupita Nyong'o, Keri Russell, Joonas Suotamo, Kelly Marie Tran, Ian McDiarmid, Billy Dee Williams, Greg Grunberg, Shirley Henderson, Billie Lourd, Dominic Monaghan, (cameo: Harrison Ford) The final chapter in the Star Wars saga concludes with the Resistance attempting to stop the unlikely return of the deceased Emperor, with Rey and Kylo Ren both finding new strengths within the Force. While returning to the fold, director JJ Abrams still keeps George Lucas' legacy intact, there seems to be a slightly unsatisfying overall feel (i.e. only Ridley and Driver make the acting seamless and poignant) through out.
