Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

...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.

...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.

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

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

...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...

Technically slick and impressively performed, this final installment is definitely entertaining...

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