The Rise of Skywalker , like it ’s predecessorThe Last Jedi , is likely rather divisive among fans . The megahit does a good job at bringing an end to the saga which , given how popular it is , was always hold up to be tricky . However , still , some are n’t too impressed , accusing Disney of shortchanging them when it comes to sure characters .
We now take a look at five characters we cerebrate the movie did justice - as well as five we consider did n’t get as enceinte a role as they deserve .
Justice: Rey
Rey had been incriminate of being too powerful without reason in bothThe Force AwakensandThe Last Jedi , certainly lacking the same astuteness and ambit as former trilogy protagonist Luke and Anakin Skywalker . However , in the net installment of the dealership , she ’s given a deeper and darker function .
She nearly kills Chewbacca via force lightning which - pardon the pun - was a bolt from the Amytal . We were also aghast when we thought she ’d murdered Kylo Ren during their duel on the remains of the second Death Star . And the reveal that she ’s the granddaughter of Palpatine was surprising , too . Overall , Daisy Ridley ’s role was at her good yet .
No Justice: Palpatine
Do n’t get us incorrect , it was still bright to see Palpatine back . He ’s at his villainous best , pulling the strings without always being prominent and encouraging others to encompass the dark within themselves .
Yet the reasonableness we feel the movie did n’t do him justice was the deficiency of explanation surrounding his proceeds . break how we thought he ’d died inReturn of the Jedi- a fact he does n’t even dispute himself - it would have made sense to come up with at least some grounds as to why he ’s back . We also think he should have got more screen sentence , just like he did in Revenge of the Sith when Ian McDiarmid produce his standout performance of them all . Disney ’s unsuccessful person to do this suggest a deficiency of imagination on their part .
Justice: Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren was possibly the good matter aboutThe Last Jedi , with Adam Driver delivering a consummate performance . And Driver does the same inThe Rise of Skywalker , nailing both the dour and light elements of the character .
For the first one-half of the pic , he ’s the perfect adversary , chase down the Resistance and Rey in particular with vigor . And when he becomes Ben Solo again , Driver is superb at doing things Han Solo does - from shoot without look to arrogantly mocking his resister . Our only charge is that he dies but even that ’s done well , being really emotional that he consecrate up his life so Rey can last .
No Justice: Jannah
Big thing were expected of Naomi Ackie ’s character Jannah , peculiarly throw her coolheaded costume and the fact she had an intriguing past . There were even rumors before the movie total out that her character would in reality be the daughter of Lando Calrissian .
But while she play a key function in the net battle at the ending , we imagine she ’d be involve more . Jannah only appears near the end of the second act when Rey , Finn , Poe and the rest of the pack travelling to the remains of the second Death Star . We also thought the fact she was a former stormtrooper should have been used more - and that her relationship with Lando , teased at the final stage , should have been explicitly tell .
Justice: Finn
John Boyega has accept he was ' a little bit fluky ' aboutThe Last Jedi . Fans , certainly , were infelicitous with how Finn was shafted on a mission with Rose Tico while Poe battled his own egotism within the Resistance and Rey attempted to become Kylo Ren back to the light side of the military group .
But Finn stupefy a prominent part inThe raise of Skywalker , even becoming General once Poe succeeds Leia as loss leader of the Resistance . He and Jannah are immense on the battlefield , pass over out Sith Troopers on Exogal and succeeding in stopping the entire fleet from wreaking mayhem over the extragalactic nebula .
No Justice: General Hux
Back in 2015 , when The Force Awakens release , General Hux was make as a loathsome villain - one to even rival Kylo Ren . It was he who destroyed the New Republic with the power of Starkiller Base and the pleasure he took from it was unsettling , to say the least .
But he regressed inThe Last Jedi , becoming more of a comedic figure rather than imposing , and his slide to mediocrity is completed in this blockbuster . Hux denote he ’s the mole within the First Order in rather poorly - written circumstance and nobody is surprised when he ’s then therefore down by Richard E. Grant ’s Allegiant General Pryde .
Justice: C3-PO
Up to this point , C3 - PO had been in the background of the first two movies of the sequel trilogy , with Disney choosing to make BB-8 the main droid of this storey instead .
However , the Star Wars icon is at the essence of the action this time around . He ’s with the gang when they travel to Pasana and his decisiveness to sacrifice his memory helps the gang decipher the Sith Dagger and up the ante when it comes to fighting Palpatine and the Final Order . We ’re glad , too , because we were saddened by the reduced role of both he and R2 - D2 in the previous two installments .
No Justice: Rose Tico
Rose Tico was n’t the best thing aboutThe Last Jedi , sure . But buff had fit overboard in hate on the character , even bombarding actress Kellie Marie Tran with opprobrious content on social media .
alas , it seems a outcome of the fan rebound is that Rose is very much on the fringes of thing duringThe Rise of Skywalker . She is n’t a pregnant instrumentalist during the epic battle at the end and her only standout scene comes when she ’s talking with Leia on Ajan Kloss . There are rumors of a Disney+ show for the theatrical role but whether that happens is something only time will severalize .
Justice: Leia Organa
It was always going to be difficult for Disney to give Carrie Fisher the perfect sendoff , with the decisiveness made to use unused footage of her from The Force Awakens andThe Last Jedi . And while she is n’t heavily involved , we sense they come through in giving her one concluding show .
Leia ’s death is beautifully handled , with the Princess of Aladaran sacrifice herself in one last attack at turn Kylo Ren back to the light source . It win , too , with Kylo hold an epiphany and then becoming Ben Solo once again briefly afterward .
No Justice: R2-D2
While we ’re delighted C3 - PO is cordially involved inThe Rise of Skywalker , we ca n’t say the same for R2 - D2 .
Once again , the droid is scarce need and it means that , across the continuation trilogy in general , he ’s just another board ornamentation . The only thing he ’s done of note across the three motion-picture show is allow for the terminal piece of the map to Luke Skywalker , show Luke an old message of Leia and restore C3 - US Post Office ’s memory . In our opinion , he should have been used more although , following the death of Kenny Baker , we can slightly understand why he may have been sidelined .
