Critics' reviews

"On a popular level, it succeeds in a way that good escapist fiction always has (...) But there are nagging problems that, while evident in the previous two entries, have become more pronounced now."

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"The most elegant, emotionally rounded, and gratifying 'Star Wars' adventure since the glory days of 'Star Wars' and 'The Empire Strikes Back.' (...) It’s a puckish and engrossing movie"

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
'Despite its underwhelming ending, I’ve enjoyed a lot of the time I’ve spent in this galaxy. There’s a saying in 'Star Wars' that feels applicable here: “The journey is often more important than the destination.'

Matt Singer: Screen Crush
"[It] is too desperate to be loved to take any real risks (...) If you want some of the real good times of 'Star Wars' (...) you could just watch 'The Mandalorian'."

Richard Lawson: Vanity Fair
"[It] is one of the best [entries of the franchise] (...) Also one of the worst. Perfectly middling. It all amounts to the same thing."

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"A swift and vigorous entertainment, with a sense of forward momentum that keeps you watching despite several dubious plot turns and cheap narrative fakeouts.

Justin Chang: Los Angeles Times
"A perfectly imperfect last chapter (...) Flaws and all, The Rise of Skywalker is part of our film history and, when Rey and Kylo seize the screen, an indelible part of our hearts (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
