It is near impossible to satisfy everyone with a Star Wars Swan Song but I can tell they thought long and hard on this one. It checkmarks all the boxes for me. I was born in 1974 and my first cinema movie experience was the epic, and personal favorite, The Empire Strikes Back. Once I gave into the experience of Rise of Skywalker and suspended my disbelief, from the start, I enjoyed the ride from beginning to end.The rise of Skywalker to me, is a perfect ending to the 9 film epic saga of my childhood that grew up with me. I honestly never knew exactly where it was going the whole way through.Inventive and imaginative, I loved it.
