Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.39:1 141m
Director: J. J. Abrams
Cast: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Ian McDiarmid, Richard E. Grant, Domhnall Gleeson
Synopsis:
Kylo Ren seeks out the resurgent Emperor Palpatine, who prepares a new Final Order battle fleet from a remote moon, and who tasks him with seeking out and destroying Rey and her friends.
Review:
Abrams brings to a close his sleek, neat, dark trilogy with the usual mix of sacrifice and hugs all round, and it is hard not to moved if Star Wars has been part of your life for almost as long as you can remember. Many of the tropes of earlier instalments are revived, the improvised mission to rescue Chewie from the destroyer being one egregious example, and it is tempting to see this as a thickening of the texture binding the Star Wars narrative style together, rather than as the impoverishment of inspiration one might ascribe. And as C-3PO's voice witters on once again in camp indignation, and former characters (not to mention actors) are resurrected, it is easy to imagine things carrying on indefinitely. As a (putative) conclusion, though, this is as satisfying as anyone could want.
