Epic, to put it simply

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2019)

Excellent quality and immersive acting has brought the Star Wars universe into ours once again. The was so much excellent story covered in the film that I was surprised they were able to keep it as short as it is. The general vibe of the film felt very different from any other Star Wars film, but gave the same "Oh heck, things are getting serious" feelings as Revenge of The Sith.
My only problem was that the opening scroll glossed over some significant events that would have been good to see in the film, but this was likely done to keep the runtime down and avoid too many unnecessary side plots.
As a final statement, this is truly a movie for the fans, packed with enough fan service that anyone will be satisfied with Rise of Skywalker as a conclusion. The creative team behind this film likely realised that as the final movie in a 9 episode saga, who were the making the film for, if not for the fans?
