9 Things Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Did Right
6. The Solid Dialogue
The Rise of Skywalker has been called poorly-written by some, but it's arguably hit-or-miss as opposed to weak in the scripting department. After all, the dialogue throughout the film is absolutely fine.
Rise's dialogue scenes, while they're usually all too brief thanks to the film's ludicrously rushed pace, are generally effective and moving. In particular, Rey's conversation with Luke's force ghost and her interactions with Kylo Ren and Palpatine, as well as Kylo Ren's conversation with his deceased father, are all emotionally powerful and well-written scenes and the dialogue never feels clunky or forced.
In general, aside from the scene where Finn is about to tell Rey something when they're sinking in quicksand and then this is never explained, the film gets the dialogue right, but it's not getting any credit for it.
