Movie Review: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - The long-awaited film is for the most part a hyperactive cacophony, an unprincipled sugar rush through years of planning and pop culture terraforming.
Maybe Abrams knows how well the original trilogy functions as a collected whole . Maybe, like so many loyalists of the franchise’s fan base, he’s nostalgic for’ magic and enthusiastically believes he can tap that well to achieve similar results. That’s the trouble with blockbustering by numbers while juggling the many demands of franchise maintenance: Nobody has enough hands to keep every ball aloft and please everyone in the audience.
That’s not to say the film is all dropped balls. When Rey and Kylo first cross lightsabers, they’re in different locations, she on his Star Destroyer, he on the planetoid she’s just fled from under his aquiline nose. As the Force lets people communicate across the stars and inhabit each other’s thoughts, so too now does it allow them to interact physically, and so they duel, each swing of their laser swords leading to cuts between spaces. One moment they’re on the ship.
Rushing is what these movies do: They rush to check off the boxes of modern franchise filmmaking, each intended to satisfy both general audience and the core demographic at the same time, and they rush to claim the brand for Disney.
