The film delivers breathtaking visuals, with spectacular space battles, intense lightsaber duels, and richly detailed new worlds, providing the epic spectacle fans expect from a Star Wars film. However, its fast-paced plot, filled with twists and fan service, sparked mixed reactions. While some appreciated the nostalgic callbacks and emotional closure, others felt the story was rushed, with certain plotlines underdeveloped. Themes of legacy, family, and hope are central, but the film often feels overwhelmed by the need to wrap up the trilogy’s many threads.
In the end, The Rise of Skywalker is a visually stunning and emotionally charged finale that, though divisive, successfully brings the Skywalker saga to a close.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Review
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), the final installment in the Skywalker saga, delivers a fast-paced and action-filled conclusion, though it struggles with narrative cohesion. Directed by J.J. Abrams, the film aims to tie up decades of storytelling, featuring the return of familiar characters and attempting to answer unresolved questions. While the visual effects, lightsaber duels, and nostalgic moments are impressive, the movie often feels hurried, leaving some character arcs and plot points underdeveloped. The reintroduction of Emperor Palpatine is controversial, and certain story choices may not satisfy all fans. Despite these shortcomings, the film provides an emotionally charged finale with strong performances, particularly from Daisy Ridley as Rey, and offers a visually spectacular farewell to the iconic franchise.
