Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker











Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Starwalker is a valiant effort to end the saga that began 42 years ago.

While there are many fabulous scenes and events, the problem with Writer/Producer/Director J.J. Abrams’ effort is that there is too much crammed into 142 minutes. 

This is a film that should have been an hour longer. As it is, we are set up that the Sith will attack in 16 hours and, yet, there are flights across galaxies that seem to take minutes, instead of hours or days/weeks.  It just defies logic, even for the most avid fans.


Thanks to a great cast, including Daisy Ripley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaacs and many others, there is much to satisfy the viewer, but one hoped for more.

I give Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Starwalker a 4 out of 5.
