Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker

The movie snaps together like a jigsaw puzzle, a series of concluding beats that seem inevitable and perfect, and designed to please all parties, so long as you don’t dwell on the logic too much.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker does the job. It wraps up the trio of trilogies begun in 1977 in a confident, soothingly predictable way, doing all that cinematically possible to avoid poking the bear otherwise known as tradition-minded quadrants of the “Star Wars” fan base.

It’s impossible to imagine that “The Rise of Skywalker” won’t do huge business, even though it’s merely good, not great, and though there’s a growing sense around the galaxy that Star Wars fatigue has set in.

The film feels clumsy, hurried, and above all, like an admission of creative defeat.

The Rise of Skywalker — Episode IX, in case you’ve lost count — is one of the best. Also one of the worst. Perfectly middling. It all amounts to the same thing.

The script never knows whether it wants to be reverential or referential, and ends up being a hodgepodge of cameos and flashbacks.

The Rise of Skywalker offers us nothing but toadying supplication to the worst aspects of fan culture. There is no story to tell here, no characters to care about, no ideas to explore. The film is pure construct, a box built for its own sake, at long last opened with excruciating listlessness, revealing nothing but its own vapid emptiness.

It isn't a bad or mediocre movie by any stretch of the imagination at all. i can assure that.

This film tries to patch up the hole that was created by the previous chapter, giving a dignified conclusion to the sequel trilogy. The plot does not seem to want to take risks given the fragility resulting from the previous chapter, but this leads to a flat and predictable plot from beginning to end. It falls at least within the canons belonging to the Star Wars saga but offers little in terms of story and emotions. The only emotions come from the fact that it is the conclusion of all nine chapters of the main Star Wars saga, because the film itself seems like a normal science fiction film like many others
