In this episode, we dive deep into the monumental challenge faced by The Rise of Skywalker when it hit theaters in December 2019. Tasked with concluding the 9-film Skywalker Saga and reuniting a divided fan base, the film was promised to be "satisfying." But did it deliver?
We'll kick off with a brief intro, followed by a discussion about Solo: A Star Wars Story, Colin Trevorrow’s Duel of the Fates, and the return of JJ Abrams alongside Chris Terio. We'll reminisce about the Episode IX panel at Star Wars Celebration Chicago and the iconic trailer reveal with Ian McDermid’s unforgettable "Roll it again" in Palpatine’s voice.
Expectations for The Rise of Skywalker were sky-high, but did it meet them? We’ll share our initial reactions, what we loved, what we didn’t, and debate whether it was a “satisfying” conclusion to the saga. Despite its struggles, we acknowledge the film's remarkable moments and true Star Wars essence.
We'll explore major themes in The Rise of Skywalker, such as community and collective action, overcoming family legacy, and the power of hope and faith, especially through Leia's unwavering hope in her son. As we anticipate the future of Star Wars films, including the upcoming Rey film continuing The Skywalker Saga, we reflect on the nearly five-year wait since the last movie.
