Hi Fellow Jedi
Have now seen the final film in the Skywalker family saga and as I'd heard mixed reviews and bad things about it was pleasantly pleased by it.
Out of the new Disney Trilogy I think The Rise of Skywalker is my favourite then The Force Awakens then Last Jedi.
I think Last Jedi would have suffered any way as it's just filler to get to The Rise of Skywalker and other than Luke's sacrifice isn't really needed.
The film starts off a few years after Last Jedi with the Rebellion built up and Rey (Daisy Ridley) has been training in the Jedi way with Leia (Carrie Fisher) being her mentor.
We also see a flashback to a scene after Return of the Jedi with a young Luke training Leia which was a good call back to the original trilogy .
Across the Galaxy the voice of the Emperor (Ian Mcdiarmid) has been heard so leader of the First Order Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) who was Ben Solo goes in search of the Emperor to destroy him so he would be all powerful.
The Emperor tells him Rey is more powerful and to destroy her. Kylo is also impressed with the Emperor's fleet which have planet destroyer cannons on them instead of making a Death Star.
Kylo goes to pursue Rey who is on a mission to also find the Emperor and destroy him also with the help of Poe, Finn and C3-P0
The action and drama is full on even though the script could have been tweeked as it's basically Force Awakens but instead of searching for Luke they are searching for Palpetine.
Overall - With some great special effects and set pieces including lightsaber battles there are some good nods to the original trilogy and all three main characters show up, Luke, Leia and yes Han Solo!
It is a good close to the saga although like most fans would have loved Luke going up against the Emperor. Also the Emperors death seemed a little rushed.
Score - 9/10
