The film is rife with fan service, which is often viewed as a negative by critics, but you know who likes fan service? Fans. It’s such a complete rewrite of The Last Jedi it actually feels vengeful.īut fans like it A) because they got those Last Jedi “fixes” they were looking for and B) it was specifically…made for fans.
Abrams sidelines lambasted characters like Rose, he mocks Last Jedi moments like the Holdo maneuver or Luke throwing away his lightsaber. That’s why those same critics are so mad now, because JJ Abrams did everything possible to undo so much of what Johnson did in The Last Jedi, providing specific answers to those questions that Johnson said weren’t important. And that’s exactly what critics liked about the film, that it broke away from tropes and tried something new. To sum up what happened, fans were mad that The Last Jedi took traditional Star Wars arcs and shattered them, ignoring questions like the mystery of Snoke and Rey’s origins, and that the film turned Luke from shining hero to grumpy sacrificial lamb. And the same goes for The Last Jedi haters who would rate it as the worst Star Wars move in history by a 13% margin under the worst prequel, Attack of the Clones. Critics are insane to say that Rise of Skywalker is worse than movies like Attack of the Clones or Phantom Menace, so much so that it almost seems spiteful to try and make that case. Neither of these films are even close to the worst Star Wars film in the grand list. To me, the impression I’m getting is that critics have overreacted to Rise of Skywalker’s flaws just like fans overreacted to the problems with The Last Jedi. That would be The Mandalorian, with only a 1% difference between critic reviews (94%) and audience reviews (93%).
Want to know what the least controversial Star Wars property is on the list? Well, it’s not even on the list.
