Our take on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

J.J. Abrams closes the Skywalker saga with this 2019 chapter, in which the Resistance confronts the First Order one final time and the paths of Rey, Finn and Poe converge on a decisive battle. It leans hard into spectacle: chases, duels and callbacks to earlier films, powered by the momentum of everything that came before. As action adventure science-fiction, it suits fans who want an emotional, high-velocity sendoff rather than slow reflection, and viewers already invested in these characters. Newcomers should start earlier in the sequence. If you value pace, scale and franchise closure over quiet ambiguity, this delivers exactly that kind of finale.
