Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker
2019 · 2hrs 22min · PG-13
Metacritic · IMDb · iTunes · Netflix
It runs too long, especially the ending, and features too many cameos from ghosts, but at this point shame on me for expecting otherwise. The Carrie Fisher footage is a nice touch (as opposed to digital cloning) but is overused, distracting from scenes that could’ve had more emotional heft. Overall, though, a pretty satisfying conclusion for Rey (the only one I really care about), with some nice moments.
