Not a die hard Star Wars fan but the previous one made no sense and was terrible in every way possible but rise of skywalker was badass. I’d put it at 4th behind the OG trilogy.

Lastly, Babu is actually a worthy new character. He was hilarious and his timing was great.

Babu is legit but the ignorants among us who think he > Baby Yoda can go fly a kite.

Took my parents to watch it today. I enjoyed it a lot more this time. It has its issues, but it's also very entertaining.

I liked Babu, good addition that’s actually more than just a funny kids character. He had a purpose.

But let’s not get wires crossed, Baby Yoda is the shite

Great wrap up to the saga. It is #2 behind TESB to me.

Rian Johnson was originally offered the director’s chair for Episode IX before JJ Abrams but declined


Interesting. So even he knew he didn't want to touch episode 9 after he screwed everything up with TLJ.

It's not exceeding anyone's expectations. Everyone knew this movie would hit $1B.

10 Ways ‘Rise of Skywalker’ Says “F**k You” to ‘The Last Jedi’

J.J. Abrams‘ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a lot of movie, as it attempts to bring a satisfying conclusion to a nine-episode saga while also feeling a full experience on its own. It also, very much, tries to be a rebuke to everything that filmmaker Rian Johnson and his collaborators accomplished on the previous film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Now, whether or not you love that movie (and I really, really do), The Last Jedi at least tried to continue the storyline from the previous film (Abrams’ The Force Awakens) while contributing new elements to the mythology and deepening the thematic concerns. It was genuinely different. If The Force Awakens was about luxuriating in nostalgia, then The Last Jedi was about moving beyond that; not to “kill it, if you have to” (in the words of Kylo Ren) but to learn from it and continually evolve. It was a message for the franchise too: if you’re too mired in the past, you’re going to be left behind.

If you were born after December 31st 1989, I don’t care what you think about Star Wars.

Actually if you were born after December 31st 1989, I don’t care what you think about anything.

I saw Star Wars in theaters and had a betamax bootleg copy of it long before the first video rental place opened up in Lafayette. Trust me. I know Star Wars.
