From two amazing movies to... this.

Rating: 3/10 (20 May 2020)

To better express my thoughts about this film I have to talk about the two prior ones, and Rian Johnson. I think that Rian treated Star Wars like art, like real cinema, not caring about fan theories. I love The Last Jedi, and I think that Rian was the right person to direct The Rise of Skywalker, because the first film, The Force Awakens, was a 'presentation' of the new saga that could be followed by any kind of story and they chose Rian to do that with The Last Jedi, so Rian had to be the one to close the saga because with The Last Jedi he made this new saga, his saga.
The Force Awakens is a fantastic film and I think that J.J. is a gifted director (not as much as Rian thou), but if The Force Awakens gives you an amazing experience when you watch it, The Last Jedi makes you think after you have watched it. With The Last Jedi Rian turned Star Wars in something else, a true great movie, giving characters depth, giving them real character-moments - watching the movie, particularly the first scene with Snoke and Kylo, I thought of Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones has some of the most raw, real and unpredictable characters and that is what Rian brought to Star Wars. It challenged the viewer rather than pleased him, it elevated Star Wars to new heights. Rian made a movie when a mature movie watcher can enjoy real characters not a movie when a little kid can be amazed by the fantastical looking creatures. It's really a shame that people in charge at Disney and Lucasfilm couldn't see that and gave us this stupid final film to end the saga. The Rise of Skywalker doesn't please the real fans of the Star Wars, but with its superficial, stupid jokes that have no place whatsoever in the moments that were put, pleases the Marvel fans that after the Endgame and the rest of the garbages Marvel brought after it, needed something spectacularly dull to enjoy.
