Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Review - 6 Ups & 8 Downs

3. From A Certain Point Of View... It Fixes Things

If you came out of The Last Jedi upset with its boldness and Rian Johnson's "agenda" to mix things up, you might just love The Rise Of Skywalker way more than any of the people let down by its "differences" (let's say).

Whether it is acknowledged from a film-making point of view, this is a walkback of the previous film and it's very much geared towards recapturing the imagination of fans who might feel the franchise had lost its way with the middle section of the sequel trilogy.

If that's what you were looking for, you're in for a treat. Lucky you.
