Just more of my childhood dying


Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

Directed by J. J. Abrams this film stars Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac. Our heroes seek the hidden home planet of the Sith in an attempt to end the threat of the First Order once and for all.

Taken on its own this is not a bad film but the problem is that it comes as a twisting, retcon filled effort at the end of a muddled trilogy. If you can get past The Last Jedi (2017) basically being retconned out of existence then you can probably enjoy this film, if not you will probably hate it. As a mindless action adventure this is not too bad but I still have issues with how it fits in with the Star Wars cannon.

2/5
