{4\/5} “It’s not a navy. It’s just… people.”<\/p>\n
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/strong>, released in 2019<\/p>\n The Rebellion has enough trouble with the First Order, and now it looks like Emperor Palpatine has survived and secretly built a fleet of ships. Rey has been training with Leia, but she doesn’t think she deserves Luke’s lightsaber yet. Rey and Kylo Ren still feel a connection to each other, even though they’re on opposite sides. Both of them want to find Palpatine.<\/p>\n This is the sequel to Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/strong><\/a> and the 9th and final movie in the Skywalker saga.<\/p>\n Although there were lots of things to like, I was slightly less enthused about the overall story — I felt the same way about the recent DC crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths” shows.<\/p>\n There are some visually stunning parts, some funny parts, and some confusing parts. It would have been less clunky if the directors of the sequel trilogy had agreed on a storyline.<\/p>\n It certainly is not a bad movie, and deserves credit for bringing a satisfying end to the saga.<\/p>\n Stars Oscar Isaac, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and Ian McDiarmid. Directed by J. J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n John Williams astonishingly composed the music for all 9 movies in the saga. A highlight of this score was the version of “The Imperial March” when Rey was in the old Death Star. Williams also resurrects his glorious theme for the Emperor.<\/p>\n
