Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker | Full Reaction (Patreon)

Here we are... The final movie in our Star Wars journey! And I'm honestly a little all over the place with how I feel about it. On one hand, it felt rushed. Too rushed. Like it was sprinting to the finish line and trying to wrap everything up while undoing and even sometimes contradicting things that had come before. Plot points were flying left and right, and it didn't give the beautiful major moments enough room to breathe. I found myself just wishing for a quiet moment. More emotional depth. More space for the characters to just be. At the same time, there were moments that did bring me complete satisfaction. It was mostly thanks to John Williams (who I'm PRETTY sure had a cameo in this one!?). The film clearly wanted to honor the Skywalker legacy, and in many ways, it did! The musical callbacks, the visual echoes, the return of our beloved characters from across the saga. It all reminded me of how much I have loved this journey. So yeah, I'm torn. The ending felt a bit like poetry, and I walked away with a tear in my eye, still. I just didn't love a lot of the choices it made narratively. It made me outro speech on the last one seem like a long-winded theory instead of a thought-out plan. But I think overall what I'm left with most is gratitude. I'm still leaving with a full heart and an experience I'll never forget! And maybe that's enough 🤍✨ Thank you all SO much for joining me in these Star Wars films!
