Do you follow my Daily Teasers, at all?
You’ve possibly read todays. At least I hope you have.
These things don’t right themselves: and it’s nice to get appreciated.
At any rate?
I, my two sisters, and my nephew, Jude?
Went to see Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, today.
Yes …
I’m thinking it’s good.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’s opening crawl tells us that a message has been broadcast: by the long thought dead Emperor Palpatine.
And sees Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) finding a Wayfinder: an ancient Sith device the leads him to the planet Exegol … and the home of the seriously zombified Emperor …
It’s not long before Finn and Poe Dameron (John Boyega and Oscar Isaacs) learn of news: and Rey (Daisy Ridley) realises she’s best qualified to find the only other Wayfinder created.
Leading her, and a small group, the planet Ker Bir: where Rey and Ren fight …
And Ren dies.
Rey … ?
Moves on to Exegol, to confront the Emperor, himself.

Now …
I’ve given Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker something of a short summery, I know.
The plot’s a lot more … in depth, than that.
But … ?
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is a movie that rounds out its story well, leaves room for spin-offs, had parts that had me wondering what JJ Abrams and company have been watching, and has genuine moments of emotion — Chewbacca mourning Leia brought a tear to my eye.
Seeing Rey finding out the truth of her ancestry … but triumphing, in spite of it.
It had saw an interesting return for Palpatine (Ian McDiamid), and fantastic villainy from Richard E. Grant (Allegiant General Pryde).
And finally … ?
Coming full circle: returning to the Skywalker home on Tatooine, at the end.
Yes: there’s issues.
I don’t think Jannah (Naomi Ackie)’s story will get completed, Rose (Kelly Marie Tran)’ story got nowhere near as full as it could have been …
But?
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker may not be perfect … but IS a great finish to the Star Wars franchise.

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
