'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' review: Gets lost in fan service - Business Insider

"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" tries so desperately to service the fan base that it loses sight of the story it's telling.J.J. Abrams helmed the return of the "Star Wars" saga with "The Force Awakens" in 2015 and mixed a new chapter with the nostalgia to deliver a movie that was loved by the fan base.Abrams returns to close out things with "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and clearly tries to pull off the magic trick twice.

It seems there was a strong idea of how to end the Skywalker saga, but they needed to fill in an hour before getting there. It's clear with just the pacing of the movie that Lucasfilm/Disney did not want another "The Last Jedi," where Rian Johnson slowed things down and let it all breathe. "The Rise of Skywalker" is as quick as the Millennium Falcon. There is no time to catch your breath or for the actors to give anything in the scenes.

Because so much is packed in, there is little for the new characters — and some of the existing ones — to do. Thankfully, Leia gets a nice send off, but there is one highly CGI'd scene with her that will have some folks up in arms.

That is one of my issues with The Mandolorian. They Force wield Easter eggs into storyline. You like that, how I Force wielded an Easter egg about Force wielding Easter eggs into a line about Force wielding Easter eggs. I know I think I am pretty clever rn

That’s interesting because the first movie of this trio was so busy making unnecessary references to the franchise that it just copy pasted A New Hope, instead of telling a new story in any way at all.

SPOILER ALERT!

Come and tell me a story no.

Eat my shorts

—who forgot how to report on business matters—is confusing itself with starwars

Depressing...to be honest I am not surprised. JJ Abrams whole shtick was copying Episode 4-6 and going Voila! No wonder Lucas hated it

Why ya have to be a bummer?
