The final Star Wars film comes to an end with ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ which is scheduled to hit the big screens on Friday. First reviewers who attended its world premiere on Monday night in Los Angeles already has their opinions and are taking it to Twitter on what they feel about the George Lucas film.
‘‘Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’ is certainly the most convoluted Star Wars,” Uproxx’s Mike Ryan wrote. “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.”
Erik Davis of Fandango was also feeling The Force and called the last movie an epic send-off. “Epic. All of it. #TheRiseof Skywalker is a terrific finale that is just stuffed with so much of everything. Action, adventure — answers!! — humor, heart, love, and grit.”

Variety’s Adam B. Vary also tweeted: “There’s so much movie in this movie. But its best moments are the quietest and most human.”
Germain Lussier however left the premiere divided, writing on Twitter
‘’Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has everything you want and more.
Which I don’t necessarily think is a good thing.
I loved parts, I didn’t love others, and I’m leaving the theater very, very conflicted about it’’
Eric Eisenberg also sided with Germain who tweeted, ‘’There is good in Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. But there is more that is disappointing. There are a number of choices that just don't track, fan service that doesn't work, and ignored details that are missed. I'm bummed.
