Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
The highly - anticipatedStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkeris finally out , with the movie bringing 40 long time of storytelling and human race - building to a thrilling end . The blockbuster had the awkward task of restoring religion among rooter follow the divisiveThe Last Jediand , while it fails to survive up to the standard of the original trilogy , it still gives us a comforting end to the Skywalker account .
So we ’re now going to look at the 11 main type in the moving-picture show and rate them . Starting with the worst before getting to the best .
Palpatine
Disney has always insist that it was always their intention to bring Palpatine back into the fold , 36 years after he ’d seemingly died at the end ofReturn of the Jedi . But we ’re not so convinced , with the eccentric go to exhibit any of the same nefarious traits that made him so iconic all those year ago .
He reveals he was behind Supreme Leader Snoke via cloning but there ’s still much we need to be resolve . Also , we still do n’t get laid how he survived being thrust down the 2d Death Star . He does n’t dispute that he died but does n’t exposit . All in all , he was underwhelming .
General Hux
It seems a long prison term ago that General Hux came across like an authoritative eccentric . InThe Force Awakens , he was the consummate speculative guy rope , showing himself more than up to of being the subsequence trilogy ’s own Grand Moff Tarkin . InThe Last Jedi , however , his character regressed .
And that ’s the same forThe Rise of Skywalker . Hux is revealed to be the mole but his abstract thought ( he want to see Kylo Ren fail ) is flimsy at better . He dies at the hands of General Pryde when it should have been Kylo himself to do the title .
Luke Skywalker
Do n’t get us wrong , it was brainy to see Luke Skywalker return one last clip . He is , after all , the bill sticker male child ofStar Warsand always has been .
However , his force ghost cameo was poorly put to death . He give Rey advice , raises his quondam X - wing from the watery depths of Ach ' To but does n’t do a lot . It actually matte up he was only in the movie because he has to be , with his part pretty insignificant when compared to what the likes of Obi - Wan Kenobi and Yoda did during the original trilogy .
Admiral Pryde
Richard E. Grant is a hugeStar Warsfan , one who was thrilled to get a part inThe Rise of Skywalker . But an actor of his calibre deserves better than what he get .
Admiral Pryde is a defective guy cable but his character only feel necessary because of how much General Hux had regressed in the last flick . It was nerveless have intercourse that he serve Palpatine during the Clone Wars but , once again , he appeared to be a simple narrative equipment , whose sole intention was to make indisputable the likes of Kylo Ren and Rey get to where they needed to be for the final number .
Leia Organa
It was always going to be hard giving Leia Organa a huge send - off feed that , because of Carrie Fisher ’s demise in 2016 , Disney was going to utilize idle footage fromThe Force AwakensandThe Last Jedi .
So , all things considered , they did well with what they could . Leia is a good wise man to Rey , perhaps better than Luke Skywalker was . Her death is pitiful and set off the sudden variety in Kylo Ren , which was her intent . But Leia , like Luke , just is n’t the same character we see during the original trilogy .
C3PO
In both of the late movies , C3PO had been somewhat overlook , with BB-8 rather getting much of the glare . However , with this being the terminal movie in the Skywalker saga , Disney decided to bring the character back into the crease .
And the payoff is dandy . C3PO is back to his sympathetic , albeit irritating near and it ’s hilarious when he has his storage pass over and fit R2D2 all over again . He ’s also jolly vital for the plot of ground , too , sacrificing his mind so they can read the composition on an erstwhile Sith obelisk which leads them to Palpatine on Exogal for the movie ’s frenzied last .
Chewbacca
Chewbacca was another character who had been pressure to determine for venial roles in the old two movies , andThe Last Jediin particular . And , though the Wookiee look as if he ’s been given a makeover in recent yr , he was back to his fighting best .
It was great fancy him fight alongside Poe Dameron , Finn , and Rey and the moment where audiences call back he ’s dead is both thrilling and tragical at the same time . We ’re glad they did n’t kill him off , too , and the sight of see him and Lando Calrissian back in the Millennium Falcon certainly give fans intellect to smile .
Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren was one of the estimable things aboutThe Last Jediand , while we trust he did n’t get quite as good a part inThe Rise of Skywalker , Adam Driver does a superb job once again with the eccentric .
Ben Solo undergo another journey , He starts as Palpatine ’s stooge , plots to shit the Sith Lord to obtain his Empire before then turning to the unaccented side after being stabbed by Rey and an excited exchange with Han Solo . He ’s responsible for for the heavy part in the blockbuster when he sacrifices himself to bring Rey , who had go as a result of her encounter with Palpatine , back to life .
Finn
John Boyega recently admitted he felt ' a bit flukey ' aboutThe Last Jedibut that he was much happier with Finn ’s theatrical role inThe Rise of Skywalker . And , having watched the blockbuster , it ’s easy to see why .
Finn is at the fondness of the movie , take the Resistance on the battlefield while wield to help Rey keep the dark at bay . Boyega ’s chemistry with Oscar Isaac ’s Poe Dameron is also brilliant , something that rival the same chemistry between Luke Skywalker and Han Solo during the original trilogy . And we ’re well-chosen that Finn , after being marginalized in the previous picnic , got a good role for the final movie of the Skywalker saga .
Poe Dameron
Poe Dameron ranks above Finn because of how you could see he ’s germinate sinceThe Last Jedi . While he had his reasons in the previous movie , he was reckless , lowbred and refractory , resulting in many unacquainted citizenry mislay their spirit and making things extremely hard for both Leia Organa and Vice Admiral Holdo .
But Poe here is unforced to take on responsibility and every decision he attain is a good one . It was also gravid seeing him and Rey finally interact properly and his prowess in an 10 - wing is second to none .
