Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Info: Following the events of ‘The Last Jedi’, the Star Wars saga continues with Rey (Daisy Ridley), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega) as they battle Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and the First Order. ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ is the last chapter in the Skywalker line of stories in the ‘Star Wars’ franchise.

The biggest challenge faced by the new trilogy is that it intended to bring closure to the original beloved characters – Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) while adding new characters to the lore. Since then, the plots and storylines raised more questions than they addressed. This film has the task of answering them well enough to satisfy its passionate fans while paying homage to the mythology that began 42 years ago. It’s a daunting mission, and for all those reasons, this film could become equally, if not even more divisive, than its immediate predecessor.

To begin with, what works – John Williams delivers yet another fantastic background score that uplifts some scenes by adding more emotional heft. Similarly, the technical departments fire on all cylinders, with gorgeous set design, vivid cinematography and a striking combination of visual and practical effects. But, the film’s plot and story-line move quickly with a lot of ground to cover. This means some aspects are grazed over; there’s no time to allow the weight of certain events and revelations to sink in fully.
