Making for an ultimately mediocre, uninspired popcorn piece, Abrams spends a majority of the 142-minute runtime simply justifying all these plot details and devices. It all comes to a crashing, head-scratching halt in the final act when The Force Awakens director further justifies the Sith Lord's return as some daft, overarching masterplan that has haunted the entire series. The most problematic is this strenuous effort to satisfy fan expectations, especially when providing an answer to Rey's (Daisy Ridley) mysterious origins, which frankly, should have remained mysterious instead of the lame, thinly-linked excuses imagined by Abrams.

This is apparent from the opening moments when the obsessive, angst-ridden Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) tracks down Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) to some dark, inhospitable planet, giving the entire production a rather spiteful tone from the onset.

Oddly, Abrams' lands this concluding chapter with the sort of skilled, breathtaking visual spectacle expected of the saga, but in that, he plays it all too safe, predictable and ultimately, unremarkable.įrom a script co-written with Chris Terrio ( Argo, Justice League), based on a story idea by Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow ( Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Abrams essentially takes an opportunity to retcon various story details explored in Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi. Abrams' third entry of the new sequel trilogy, making it the ninth installment in the series overall, easily falls at the bottom of the list - resting comfortably above Attack of the Clones, the spin-off Solotale but enjoying the same level of smug satisfaction as The Phantom Menace.

With the epic space opera finally complete in The Rise of Skywalker, we can look at the entirety of the franchise with a wider lens, rank all the individual movies in order of storytelling quality and see why feeding to fanservice makes for frustratingly poor movies. George Lucas created a cultural juggernaut with 1977's Star Wars, one that has unabashedly shaped and influenced moviegoers for the last four decades while also garnering arguably, the most religiously devoted and vocally belligerent fanbase in cinema history.
