Star Wars: I Gotta A Ménage à Trois Feeling About This
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker or SW:TROS or just TROS - is not a bad film. Not as good nor will any be as good as the first three Star Wars films released beginning in 1977 and certainly nowhere near as bad as the media is making it out to be.(sidenote) About 95% of folk who claim to be 'film critics' in the 21st century suffer from an affliction known as 'heaDUPtheIRAss', which I think is a Dutch term that means they have no idea what they are talking about. Anyway, with Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker you still experience the 'roll your eyes'
moments, the story suffers from 'convenience' and the logistics of the characters never make sense - this transcends every one of the trilogies and is almost expected from any Star Wars film. The VFX in Rise was meh....other Star Wars productions have produced better. I was hugely disappointed in Oscar Isaac, an Oscar caliber performer who pretty much dialed in his delivery. The one whose star shone bright, who after The Force Awakens stated she was not a Star Wars fan, Daisy Ridley blew the doors off everyone - this version of the Rey character is what Star Wars films should have contained from the beginning. It was sad to see the Kylo Ren character be transformed into what Rise delivered, which is no fault to Adam Driver, because..... J.J. Abrams should have never been given the the latest Star Wars trilogy mantle in the first place. J.J. Abrams has a bit of originality, but there is way too much of his mentor's vision in the majority of his work. Of course, Rian Johnson took a HUGE dump on The Last Jedi, so
bringing Abrams back for the save on Rise was a worthy attempt, nut in no way could make up for the damage done by Johnson. Also, J.J. loves introducing new audiences to existing sagas by taking old storylines and elements and reconditioning them as new - these are as obvious as a $3.00 bill and... Just Stop It, J.J.. Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker was an OK film of a troubled trilogy that should never have begun without a team of writers, producers and directors who bled
Star Wars from their veins and had the complete vision of the complete Star Wars saga documented and storyboarded before casting.
