We can call it - Star Wars The Rise of the Retcon.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Film Review :

Ever since 2017’s The Last Jedi, Disney and Lucas Film have been on a back foot. They tried to blame misogynistic fans for not whole-heartedly loving their powerful female characters, but even they knew that the fault was in the film itself.

So Star Wars Episode 9 is an apology tour, full of fan moments and more apologies for the previous films goof up. For me, JJ Abrams is a competent enough director whose love for McGuffins and the mystery box overshadows the story. He has had the same issue in Star Terk, Mission Impossible 3 AND The Force Awaken. McGuffins means, the main characters will run around trying to find something seemingly important, but in the end, it will be nothing but an excuse to show action and adventure.

But Star Wars had evolved past that by Episode 3 which was entirely plot-driven without any McGuffins. This new Star Wars Trilogy, never had a good enough plot to invoke any emotional reaction from me as an audience. I do not care for the First Order’s destruction as they seem like a bunch of buffoons. The resistance exists solely for plot purposes.
Coming to the movie itself. Since JJ is a half-decent director, he has managed to make a film on the same level as The Force Awakens. It’s not an atrocity but doesn’t rise to any level of greatness (Such as Avengers Infinity War/Endgame).

The plotline has a VERY boring first half which goes nowhere and then the second-half tries to tie up a lot of loose ends. Some familiar faces and voices are in the film, which makes it a bit more nostalgic… in fact, the entire film is a nostalgia tour. If you have not paid attention to movies 4 through 8, then most of these callbacks would be lost on you.

It pains me to write such a short review for a Star Wars film, but seriously nothing much happens plot-wise except in the last 30 mins of the film. Rest is all just exposition. Not to mention Kylo and Rey’s story almost made me snore big time.

They also retconned all of The Last Jedi’s big criticisms, from the Holdo Light Jump Scene to Kylo Telling Rey her parents were nobodies right down to Luke’s Lightsaber being broken… all these have been retconned. It’s like Episode 8 didn’t even happen.

The big villain of the film is the Emperor Palpatine who is revealed in the trailers. This was supposed to be Snoke until he was killed off like a moron in Episode 8. So the Emperor is back despite Vader’s sacrifice. Making episode 4-5-6 completely pointless. So thanks Star Wars. I will pretend that Star Wars was from Episode 1 through 6.

There are a few good scenes, they manage to send off Princess Leia with dignity and will not upset the fans. Some of the ending climax scenes are good. But for me, I am jaded with this New Trilogy of mediocre films.

Rating: 6/10. Finish this if you are a Star Wars fan. I am no longer a fan of Disney Star Wars. However, the old movies will always be special for me.


P.S: The Sad part is… this film copies plot elements from the final Harry Potter films! I mean come on!

There have been better additions to the Star Wars franchise. Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed to see Ewan McGregor's cameo was only a voice over of a few lines.
