Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Films Ranked Worst To Best (According To Rotten Tomatoes)
9. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Score: 50%
Critic Consensus: "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker suffers from a frustrating lack of imagination, but concludes this beloved saga with fan-focused devotion."
The Rise of Skywalker was a highly anticipated film, as it was the culmination of the Skywalker Saga. The trailers teased the return of Emperor Palpatine, while teasing a final battle between the rebels (led by Rey) and the First Order (led by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren).
While the Last Jedi was highly decisive amongst fans, The Rise of Skywalker was set to be a crowd-pleasing conclusion to the saga. Sadly, the lack of creativity in the film and a cohesive plan throughout the entirety of the sequel trilogy left the film feeling messy and full of plot holes, with some of the major plot points being left unexplained.
The film felt like an unrewarding and disappointing finish to a great saga of films, leading the Rise of Skywalker to become one of only two films in the Skywalker Saga to receive such a rotten rating amongst critics.
