Opinion | Ani Bundel: 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' tries to please everyone at once — with disappointing results. - NBCNewsTHINK

Moreover, the majority of moviegoers have forgotten this interfandom drama, if they were ever aware of it in the first place.Logistically speaking, any unnecessary deviation in plot was bound to have consequences, “The Rise of Skywalker” has 142 minutes to bring 42 years of storytelling to a close. But once director J.J. Abrams actually dives into other storytelling, things improve enormously. Even here, though, “Rise of Skywalker” plays it safe.

But the fight between the dark and the light has always been at the heart of Star Wars. The idea of “with hope, good wins out” is the fairy tale that has attracted legions of fans since the 1970s. And director Abrams hits those notes with gusto. Lightsabers swing,are chased, dangerous feats are survived. Rey and Kylo Ren have their long-awaited showdown, and it will surprise no one that redemption is in the cards.

THINK Disney runs everything. StarWars EpsteinCoverUp

THINK I've read that 'Cats' is even worse....

THINK I am disappointed with critics and fanboys who want to nitpick and trash this movie. The last few have been stinkers from Episode 1-3, Solo, and Last Jedi. This one was a home run if you don’t take things so serious. Just relax and enjoy the movie.

THINK It's the PC culture. We're getting tired of entertainment telling us how bad the world is. Just make a good movie

THINK I went in thinking it was going to be regular Star Wars movie...it was even more...a marvelous ending.

THINK Rian Johnson created the mess that JJ Abrams had to clean up. In the end, it’s not the worst out of the 3 sequels.

THINK I am disappointed with most of the new Star Wars content. 😔
