The Best Ending We Could Get (spoiler-free)

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2019)

The 9th episode of Star Wars trilogy was a masterclass in bringing a satisfying closure to a beloved saga. The simple but fun story reminds the ones of the original trilogy. The references,
the comebacks, the jokes, the sets - all done with precision and expertise that deserve a round of applause.
The previous movie in the franchise, The Last Jedi received mixed reviews from fans, many of them overreacting to some indeed questionable choices in the storyline. Rise of The Skywalker was left to face the consequences, and did it bravely. Instead of running away from it's predecessor or moving against it, JJ Abrams found a brilliant way to use it to his benefit and develop the story rather than taking a step back, a task that seemed impossible to me before watching the movie.
Some things I really liked:
ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œ - Billy D Williams as Lando. Great to see him back.
ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œ - C3PO portrayed by Anthony Daniels remains my favorite side character in the franchise.
ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œ - Daisy Ridley as Rey. I love her so much.
ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œ - Adam Driver as Ben Solo. So talented.
ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œ - Many moments I cannot mention since it's a spoiler-free review.
ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œ - The special effects department, bringing Carrie Fisher back to life.
ðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘ŒðŸ‘Œ - Amazing score by John Williams. The only fair thing to do at this point would be to name the Oscars' Best Score category after him. It should have already happened a long time ago anyway.
Overall, very fun. Anyone who says otherwise went in to watch the film when they already decided they're not gonna like it.
