Tag: STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

So, the critic responses to STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER are interesting.

I’m still scrolling through all the critical ones (57% on Rotten Tomatoes or suchlike), but the common theme so far seems to be, as a friend of mine put it on Twitter: “We loved The Last Jedi, how dare you mess with that.” …I’m not saying that anybody should plan to see STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER just because it’s getting whaled on by people whose judgement you take lightly. Watch — or watch not; there is no requirement. But I think that you can permit yourself the indulgence of a dollop of schadenfreude.

But just a dollop! It’s Christmas, after all.

The Obligatory STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER trailer.

I know, I know. This is not a welcome cultural artifact, for many of you. But I still retain a stubborn liking for the films. It’ll all be moot in three months anyway, because then STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER will be out and the Empire will smoothly segue to churning out TV shows until the sun runs out of hydrogen to fuse into helium. And, truly: is that not amusing, in and of itself? I submit to you that it is.
