Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - Arvostelut

...there are a lot of goodbyes to say, and a lot of loose ends to tie up. The fact that The Rise of Skywalker manages most of them and within a vaguely coherent story is something of an achievement in itself.

...the craft of “Skywalker” is incredibly high. Abrams knows how to design a major blockbuster like this one, and there are some remarkable set-pieces.

...no one can accuse Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker of stinting on action, emotion, planet-hopping, callbacks, fan-servicing, or, well, anything Star Wars...

...Abrams keeps things closer to home, reviving that strange sense of quasi-mystical cod-reverence that was the hallmark of Lucas’s original productions.

When it focuses on Rey and Kylo, this film usually works.

Technically slick and impressively performed, this final installment is definitely entertaining...

...the Star Wars franchise has offered much to embrace and celebrate. This finale to the Skywalker Saga is, if nothing else, a tribute to that legacy.

Action-filled, plot-packed and unabashedly sentimental, Episode IX at times seems to be trying to satisfy every “Star Wars” fanatic in the world.

JJ Abrams gives our heroes the swashbuckling, heart-rending ending they deserve

...J.J. Abrams knyter ihop säcken. Sequeltrilogin avslutas starkt.

...Abrams og medforfatter Chris Terrio får flettet alle de sporadiske informationer fra de sidste to film udmærket sammen med afslutningen på dramaet, og man forlader derfor biografen med en solid mæthedsfølelse.

På imponerende vis formår ’The Rise of Skywalker’ at løfte de to foregående film ’The Force Awakens’ og ’The Last Jedi’ og gøre dem til meningsfulde bærere af historien frem mod hele sagaens afslutning.

Den har nogle af seriens allerflotteste rumslag, og der er intense lyssværdsdueller. Som forventet. Der er også masser af humor.
