I just watched Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It was an enjoyable movie and ended the Skywalker saga well. However, I found the pace of the movie too fast. While the movie did tell the story, I thought parts of the story could be expanded while a lot of the action scenes could be condensed. We know that JJ Abrams can use the technology available to him but just because he can doesn’t mean he should. The movie in my opinion could have focussed more on the story telling rather than the special effects. The various coincidences of seeing Han Solo as well as Princess Leia (despite Carrie Fisher being dead) and Lando Calrissian were nice and helped end things. Seeing Chewie receive his medal also brought a tear to my eye. It was also nice getting a little of Yoda’s voice in one scene. Ewoks and Porgs completed a sentimental picture and now Star Wars can Rest In Peace.
