Overview
The remaining traces of the Resistance movement assemble in their quest to overthrow the First Order, once and for all. Each member of the Resistance must contend with both their own demons and how the events of the past have affected them, learning to overcome their struggles to create a unified front. Meanwhile, the Jedi and the Sith approach their final face-off, bringing centuries of contention to a head. At the heart of it all is Rey (Daisy Ridley), the former orphan who stands as the Resistance's last hope as the galaxy's remaining Jedi knight. Directed by J.J. Abrams.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[I]t succeeds in a way that good escapist fiction always has, by transporting you completely to a fabulous foreign realm unvisitable by any other means." - 12/18/2019 Hollywood Reporter
"[T]here's a lightsaber duel that’s pretty fantastic....Visually, it’s a splendid fight." - 12/18/2019 Variety
"Some of the action is well-executed, there are strong performances throughout, and one almost has to admire the brazenness of the weaponized nostalgia for the original trilogy..." - 12/18/2019 RogerEbert.com
"[B]ad guys cackle and rant on the bridges of massive spaceships while good guys zip around bravely doing the work of resistance. Mysteries are solved." - 12/18/2019 New York Times
"The new class remains a likable lot; they’re the strongest element of this third trilogy. And THE RISE OF SKYWALKER gets some light ensemble fun out of their misadventures..." - 02/18/2019 A.V. Club
3 stars out of 5 -- "Stylistically, THE RISE OF SKYWALKER returns to the aesthetics of THE FORCE AWAKENS, juggling rocket-fuelled action sequences -- dogfights, desert chases and saber-battles abound -- with straight-faced 'dark v light' standoffs..." - 12/22/2019 The Guardian
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] euphoric blast of pulse-quickening adventure, laced with humor and heart." - 12/18/2019 Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he very best moments are the quiet ones, which bob gently on the swells of John Williams’ iconic music to elicit shivers like only STAR WARS can." - 12/15/2019 Total Film
