NO SPOILERS: Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Quick Thoughts

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker:  Yes I liked it.  Did I have issues with it?  Yes.  Do I think others will have issues with it?  Yes.  It is the Star Wars franchise so not everyone is going to be happy.  I definitely wouldn't have gone where they did with some of the plot points.  It's really hard not to spoil anything so I'll stay away from specifics.  The pace is fast, there is plenty of action, I like how most of the characters were handled and the time flew by for me.  Rey and Kylo Ren were definitely the main focus but you'll get plenty of screen time from the rest of the main characters in this wild ride.  There are also some cook new characters as well.  I'll stick by my "I liked it" statement but I'm still digesting some of the major points of the movie.  I do wish they'd done things differently in some regards but name one Star Wars movie where you don't say that.  I can now start reading what others thought, dig into some of the details I might have missed and I'll come back in a few weeks with more thoughts.  Can't wait to see what others think as well.  May The Force Be With You.

  1. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'm a huge fan of the franchise... so there's a good chance I'll enjoy it no matter how things pan out. Heck... I even go back and watch The Phantom Menace at least once a year and that's my least favorite movie in the run.

  2. I definitely didn't like it. They undid some of the stuff I liked from The Last Jedi and a lot of it just didn't make sense to me. Very disappointing.

    1. I get it. I liked it. I was entertained but I was definitely let down by some of the choices they made with the plot. I think there will be plenty of folks on your side of the fence when it comes to this movie.
