4. Absolutely Spectacular Action Sequences

It wasn't just Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi that smashed it out of the park when it came to mesmerising action sequences, though, the Star Wars Sequels as a whole routinely left minds absolutely blown thanks to the beautiful chaos unfolding on-screen.

For all of the questionable narrative choices and mishandling of certain characters, every single one of the flicks contained at least a few genuinely awe-inspiring moments of gorgeously filmed action.

The Force Awakens threw the Millennium Falcon back into the mix with a gripping clash with some First Order TIE fighters above Jakku, and also possessed a captivating forrest lightsaber battle between Kylo Ren, Finn and Rey.

And the aforementioned Episode VIII boasted that awesome Ren/Rey team-up as the two collided with the Elite Praetorian Guard. Not to mention a Holdo Manoeuvre which blasted both many a cruiser and our little brains to pieces.

Even The Rise of Skywalker contained a thrilling lightsaber clash amongst the waves on the moon of Kef Bir.

The trilogy may not be known for its consistency when it comes to the overall tone or story being told across the three flicks. But the Disney chapter of the Skywalker Saga did at least consistently produce some of the most riveting and inventive action the franchise has even seen.
