Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Episode IX)

...there are a lot of goodbyes to say, and a lot of loose ends to tie up. The fact that The Rise of Skywalker manages most of them and within a vaguely coherent story is something of an achievement in itself.

...the craft of “Skywalker” is incredibly high. Abrams knows how to design a major blockbuster like this one, and there are some remarkable set-pieces.

...no one can accuse Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker of stinting on action, emotion, planet-hopping, callbacks, fan-servicing, or, well, anything Star Wars...

...Abrams keeps things closer to home, reviving that strange sense of quasi-mystical cod-reverence that was the hallmark of Lucas’s original productions.

When it focuses on Rey and Kylo, this film usually works.

...J.J. Abrams knyter ihop säcken. Sequeltrilogin avslutas starkt.

...Abrams og medforfatter Chris Terrio får flettet alle de sporadiske informationer fra de sidste to film udmærket sammen med afslutningen på dramaet, og man forlader derfor biografen med en solid mæthedsfølelse.
