The negatives voices on the internet were wrong.
Objectively, this is a fine movie, and a fine conclusion towards what is now dubbed the Skywalker saga. I was more than content with the The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi too, even though I saw the Original Trilogy and then the Prequel Trilogy first.
I had my sincere doubts that this movie had to bring back Sheev Palpatine in order to act as the main villain once more while filling the void between Snoke and Kylo Ren, but I am glad with the way the plot got directed, and most of if not all arcs have now gotten a good end.
(It's also always fun to see the emperor cackling around and shouting "Do It" :D)
Several plot twists unfold once again, and I can even really like Rey now, knowing her backstory. It's not The Force just creating a baby, but she really had parents, and in the end a motivation and reason to end tyranny.
All of the tropes as you would expect from a Star Wars movie return, including light saber duels, aircraft space shooting, humor, droids, planets, alien species, the familiar music, the religions of Sith and Jedi, and a few characters will perish, although with grace.
J.J. Abrams might have played it safe again while directing this, but he also called the shots onto how to end this overall saga, and the end scene where Rey buries the past and looks upon the future with the objects she held and now holds is effective.
Honestly, this so called Sequel Trilogy turned out to be just fine. They're not perfect by any sense, but if you are an average Star Wars fan like me, and not die hard to the core, you will enjoy what is to be found and shared here with audiences.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a compelling final chapter and brings quality while honoring past episodes. Star Wars itself shall continue on in one form or another, and when in doubt, know that The Force will be with you, always.
Rating: 7.5
