Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker - 星際大戰:天行者的崛起 - Star Wars IX

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (Star Wars:天行者的崛起) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Adam Driver. The supporting cast include Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, Domhnall Gleeson, Keri Russell, Joonas Suotamo, and Kelly Marie Tran. There are many more cameos and JJ Abrams regulars sprinkled throughout the film. This is the ninth film of the Skywalker film series and reportedly the final one as well. Lucasfilm has made reports of the film series going in a different direction after the Skywalker series.



Rey is receiving Jedi training from Leia. Chewbacca, Poe, and Finn are working on lead to recover a spy message. They are ambushed and are forced to fight their way out. Rey than receives feelings and ends her training to go find the force message. Chewbacca, Poe, and Finn join Rey on their way to Pasaana. They look for a lead that will lead them to destroying the Frist Order. However, the old Emperor shows up and wants to take over the galaxy. A bunch of cat and mouse chases start. Can Rey and the group save the Resistance?



As the last in the sag, this movie was pretty good. Lots of action tempered with some character development here and there. Add to it the way the force is used, you have a whole new era of Star Wars fans in the making. You should go back and watch episodes IV through VIII to catch up a little. There are quite a few references to the older movies. Even I-III have some reference, but small ones.



I am glad and sad the series will end here. The Skywalker series is the one that led us all to love the franchise so much. But its also time to expand the universe or galaxy beyond this group. And you've seen it happen in other areas. As I do not read books, this will be interesting how they bring the other Disney+ and film series to screen.



JJ does a good job of ending starting and ending this trilogy. I can see the critics nit picking on things, but it was a good end to the series. But this movie kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the film. All the old Star Wars mythos were in full effect. This movie was made for Star Wars fans.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 最後的絕地武士

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (最後的絕地武士) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac. This is the 8th film of the Star Wars film series. The 2nd in the current trilogy. The film was directed by Rian Johnson of Looper fame.

Rey looks to Luke Skywalker for guidance on how to become a Jedi. Luke is reluctant due to his experience with Kylo Ren. The first order continues to chase the remaining rebellion fraction. Finn awakes from his injury to look for Rey, but must first help the rebellion escape the first order. Rey and Ren are connected to the force by Snoke. Eventually leading Rey to a Snoke showdown. The rebel forces are pinned down and their last hope is Luke.

Wow, my summary gives this movie no justice. The Last Jedi was full of twist and turns. Everything you wanted and saw in the trailers were a distraction. The movie took all your expectations of Star Wars as a franchise and turned it on its head. Jedi lore, debunked. Hero's overcome tyranny, debunked. A happy ending? Not with the 2nd arc of a trilogy. Rey and Finn continued romance, complicated.

I personally liked the film. I watched it twice the weekend it came out. At the moment, I am undecided if I should purchase or just rent. Or wait for it to show up on HBO. I may have to watch again to make up my mind. Maybe one of these Redbox T-Mobile Tuesday, I'll rent it again.

It's Star Wars, one of the most beloved franchises in the world. You decide if you want to continue on. You can't watch the 9th episode without watching this one.
