Review – Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

Not with a bang. The special effects are the star of this final chapter in the Star Wars saga, which is fitting enough. But instead of supporting them with a straightforward space opera plot, J.J. Abrams can’t resist the temptation to employ his hallmark blend of grandiosity and moral ambiguity. If you told me back in 1977 that this is how it would end, my 11-year-old self would have been disappointed. As my 54-year-old self is now. Mildly amusing
