Critics Sentiment
Kylo Ren reclaims his identity as Ben Solo after Leia's sacrifice
Rey accidentally destroys transport with Force lightning believing Chewbacca died
The film drops significantly during the rushed Pasaana sequence and fake Chewbacca death, then recovers substantially with Ben Solo's redemption arc.
The Rise of Skywalker starts with moderate enthusiasm for its ambitious scope but quickly suffers from pacing issues and manipulative plot devices. The film's saving grace is Adam Driver's performance and Kylo Ren's character arc, though the overall experience feels hollow and overstuffed. Critics consistently noted impressive visuals undermined by poor storytelling choices and excessive fan service.
