Whereas The Drive Awakens and The Final Jedi are strong movies on their very own, The Rise of Skywalker finally suffered from a scarcity of a cohesive imaginative and prescient and plan for the place the trilogy was going to go. It didn’t assist that the movie additionally modified arms earlier than manufacturing with J.J.

Regardless of which period this trilogy will probably be set in or which story Kinberg desires to inform, hopefully his movies can keep away from the errors of the sequel trilogy.
