Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker first reactions are mixed: It’s epic, but disrespectful to The Last Jedi

Hindustan Times  

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker held its world premiere on Monday, and first reactions to the highly secretive new film have flooded the internet. While several people praised director JJ Abrams for satisfyingly wrapping up the sequel trilogy, which he began in 2015 with Star Wars: The Force Awakens, others had mixed emotions about the retconning of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which received fan backlash for its unexpected plot twists. Thanks for coming through one more time, Star Wars.#TheRiseOfSkywalker.” Representing the dissenters, which is unusual after an exclusive premiere such as this, one person wrote, “STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is certainly the most convoluted Star Wars. There is a lot I liked, but the first half gets so bogged down with exposition and new plot and doodads and beacons and transmitters, it feels like it should have been three movies on its own.” Another person wrote, “I loved parts, I didn’t love others, and I’m leaving the theater very, very conflicted about it.” Check out more reactions here: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will arrive in theatres on Friday, December 20.
