The critical reception to ‘Star Wars: Rise Of[+]

Star Wars Episode IX: Rise Of Skywalker is yet another divisive entry in the Skywalker Saga. Somehow it’s managed to be just as controversial as The Last Jedi, dividing fans and critics almost as evenly.

Somehow Rise Of Skywalker has also managed to become the worst-reviewed Star Wars movie ever made, falling to 52% on Rotten Tomatoes, just a percentage point below The Phantom Menace, a movie starring the loathsome Jar Jar Binks.

This is utter madness. Say what you will about the film, it’s nowhere near as bad as The Phantom Menace. It has its share of problems, no doubt, but it has plenty that works also. It’s funny, poignant and fun—even if it is often too rushed and probably should have been split into two parts.

. The score, I’d wager, is less about the movie itself and more about the way it backtracks on Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi—a critical darling. But I’m not so sure that Rise of Skywalker even retconned as much of Johnson’s plot as people seem to think, and certainly no more than Johnson retconned The Force Awakens.
