STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER (full review at Screen Realm)

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker sees JJ Abrams returning to the director’s chair after original director Colin Trevorrow left following ‘creative differences’. With Rian Johnson’s divisive The Last Jedi splitting an increasingly toxic ‘fanbase’ into two camps, the outraged and the overcompensating, the reactions were extreme to a movie that was neither the franchise killer, nor the masterpiece, that each side claimed. So Abrams finds himself with a tricky job ahead of him, returning to a trilogy that started out brightly but has gotten a bit lost along the way.

While staying as far away from spoilers as possible, The Rise Of Skywalker sees our trio of heroes back together once more. Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) find themselves tearing around the galaxy once more, with a familiar team comprising Chewbacca and an assortment of droids. Their mission is to locate the mythical home planet of the Sith before an infamous nemesis of old can raise an army with which to subjugate the galaxy. With this basic, but traditional Star Wars plotline, JJ Abrams concludes the trilogy he started in 2015 with The Force Awakens.
