Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, is the newest film in the Star Wars franchise. The film is being widely regarded as a divisive one within the Star Wars fanbase. I decided to interview three self proclaimed fans of the franchise to get their thoughts on the most recent film’s developments.
David Delgado, the first of my interviewees, had the following to say about the film:
“I personally thought it was a good movie but not a wholesome ending for the end of what I’d call possibly the greatest franchise of all time”.
Gabriel Lopez, another of my interviewees, said the following:
“It was the end to a 9 film 40+ year saga and none of its plot beats or elements felt earned. It seemed desperate to just please you on the most basic level and get it over with rather than provide anything truly substantial or meaningful”.
My final interviewee, Gary Cardenas, said:
“While I enjoyed the movie as a whole, I couldn’t help but feel like it could’ve been better. I remember seeing the very first Star Wars and to have this movie be the ‘ending’ of that feels kind of underwhelming”.
Overall, my interviewees seem more disappointed with the film’s lack of creativity and risk taking, rather than outraged with the final result, as many fans have been. Hopefully these interviews have provided some new viewpoints to those less critical of the franchise.
