Over the weekend, we watched the new Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker, the last installment in the saga. It was a great ending to the series. It introduced new characters and brought back some of the old ones, bringing everything together for the last movie. The movie was about tracking down Emperor Palpatine, completing Luke Skywalker’s mission, and finally defeating the First Order. The movie focused on Rey’s training with the force and her journey to find her family. It also put more attention on Kylo Ren.
We rate the movie a 9 out of 10. It wasn’t our favorite movie (our favorite is Little Women, go check out our review) but Rise of Skywalker was definitely really good! We all agreed that it had several amazing fighting scenes. It also had a little bit of romance that we thought could have been left out, but all in all, it wrapped up the series nicely.
