Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

Let's just call it Star Wars: Let's Wrap this Up. Say what you will about the last two in the saga, but they had clear, investing stories to tell. To all of those who said that The Last Jedi sucked so hard, hope you enjoyed this one, because it was tailor made for you. It plays it safe on every level. It's character development, suffice to say, is hackneyed. Big revelations are presented here that were meant to last a huge impact on the audience, and yet they don't. They just sit there. Because at this point, who cares? I didn't hate it. I'm not as emotionally invested in the franchise as many are, so I could find little things to enjoy about this. 2019 was an incredible year for film, but ironically, it produced a wimpy Star Wars installment. But to be sure, I'll take this one over those wretched prequels any day of the week. 3 out of 5 Stars.
