As with the "Force Awakens" which tries to mimic "A New Hope", the "Rise of SkyWalkers" also tries the same route of mimicking "Return of the Jedi" with Kylo Ren turning his back from the Dark side (similar act to Darth Vader) to join forces with Rey Palpatine to defeat the iconic Emperor Palpatine. Besides lacking any originality in this latest venture into the Star Wars Saga, Episode 9 concludes a series of poor performances of the Sequel (Episodes 7 - 9) to the original Star Wars franchise (Episodes 4 - 6). Hopefully, a new powerful Sith Lord will rise again from the ashes of this fiasco (maybe in Disney + channels) so that there will be hopes for a new life to the Star Wars Saga which ultimately is a portrayal of the struggles/sacrifices that one has to make between choosing Good (The Force) versus Evil (Dark Side) in the world that one lives in.

One of the few movies from Studio Ghibli's excellent collection of movies that have invoked much emotions in my heart.
