De film rondt de Skywalker-saga, die we nu veertig jaar hebben kunnen volgen, af en is het laatste deel rond de strijd tussen de Jedi en de Sith. Maar ook moest deze afsluiter van de trilogie, die ook dient als afsluiter van een trilogie der trilogieën, heel wat onbeantwoorde vragen van antwoorden voorzien. Dat lijkt met succes gebeurd te zijn!
Erg enthousiast
De reacties die we op sociale media aantroffen, zijn over de hele linie erg positief. Critici loven regisseur J.J. Abrams voor zijn prestatie: het verbinden van het oude met het nieuwe, antwoorden bieden op heel veel vragen én nieuwe plotwendingen laten zien die bovendien ook nog eens overtuigend overkomen.
Wel merken sommige critici op dat de eerste helft van de film wel overvol met expositie zit. Dat geeft dan weer het gevoel dat het soms wat veel van het goede is, maar na die eerste helft, ontploft de boel en wordt de film een waardige en grootse knaller. Hieronder een greep uit de vele eerste reacties!
The Rise of Skywalker has a ton of content packed into one movie as well and wastes no time. It's like two Star Wars movies in one. Lots of fan service bonuses too 😉

Star Wars: #TheRiseOfSkwalker is TRULY a satisfying conclusion to the saga. It answers practically everything you want to know and more.. with some twists and turns. If you think you know what's going to happen, think again. #StarWars pic.twitter.com/72WsWzk21o

Abrams brings a magical energy to these characters and their interactions. I can't wait to see it again.

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is certainly the most convoluted Star Wars. There is a lot I liked, but the first half gets so bogged down with exposition and new plot and doodads and beacons and transmitters, it feels like it should have been three movies on its own.

#StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker...OH MY GOD! I am absolutely blown away! I've never been so satisfied by a film. This is the end of an era and a franchise that has defined my life and this did it justice in a way I didn't imagine it could. You WILL cry.... pic.twitter.com/Jfx5bzdZOO

#StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker is a lot. It's a big, giant movie with a lot of spectacle and high stakes and it's definitely going to start a conversation (or a lot of conversations) among fans.

It isn't a perfect movie and I'm sure I'll find plenty to nitpick in the days and weeks ahead but right now I'm grinning from ear to ear. #StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker pic.twitter.com/mPpg7Q74al

#TheRiseofSkywalker is a lot. It's like 9 movies of plot in one. Going to take me about 9 days to process.

So, I'm not too surprised and at times I felt too much fan service was given, but #TheRiseofSkywalker is everything and nothing that you're expecting.

So I guess what my immediate reaction is: God I love this franchise and I'll miss the Skywalker saga.
Well... #TheRiseOfSkywalker is a drastic departure from TLJ, but also not as invigorating as TFA. It is a movie packed with action (it's seriously nonstop), but also jammed with fan service. @starwars fans - brace for the debates. pic.twitter.com/DjKo9ejRWw

There is good in Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. But there is more that is disappointing. There are a number of choices that just don't track, fan service that doesn't work, and ignored details that are missed. I'm bummed. #StarWarsRiseofSkywalker pic.twitter.com/Ztk0VzGc6H

Man does #TheRiseOfSkwalker MOVE. This film hits the ground running & doesn't let up. JJ's energy is all over this thing. A Last Crusade style adventure. The bromance between Poe & Finn steals the film. Felt a bit more concerned w/plot than character, tad rushed, good not great. pic.twitter.com/S4tbDhXG35
