Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The Rise of Skywalker is a messy film that contains too much plot for its own good but also a really entertaining movie that showcases why audiences love Star Wars.

Star Wars has lost its mystique, and The Rise of Skywalker is to blame.

As for me: this is where I get off the Star Wars train. I was happy enough to wrap up some unfinished childhood business, although if they'd stopped at Force Awakens that would have done the job just as well.

The story is messy, there’s enough plot to fill two movies, and some of its characters need more attention. But this is still very much a Star Wars film and will evoke many of those same old feelings of kid-like joy and excitement for those who allow it.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the creators of the new Star Wars Trilogy must be dedicated environmentalists, because they keep recycling the same old material over and over and over.
