A Jam-Packed Finale

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2019)

The Rise of Skywalker is a good film, but it is hardly the best of the Star Wars series. This film churns through so much plot so quickly that it rarely has time to engage the emotions, thrill, or excite. All of the performers, especially Daisy Ridley, turn in great performances. However, the new cast does not have the chemistry needed to sell the film's suggested camaraderie. Few truly new ideas are presented in this film, which suggests this should be the last.
