Roger Ebert

Feelings like joy and wonder are smothered by a movie that so desperately wants to please a fractured fanbase that it doesn’t bother with an identity of its own.

Variety

"The Rise of Skywalker" is, to me, the most elegant, emotionally rounded, and gratifying “Star Wars” adventure since the glory days of "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back."

IGN

The Rise of Skywalker labors incredibly hard to check all the boxes and fulfill its narrative obligations ... you can practically hear the gears of the creative machinery groaning under the strain.

Rey, Poe, and Finn keep crashing, tumbling, and jumping between ships. Just once, couldn’t someone in this sequel trilogy chill out?

It looks gorgeous and offers strong performances from Driver and Ridley in particular, but ultimately the saga ends with neither a bang nor a whimper but something inbetween.

Los Angeles Times

The ninth episode of the overarching "Star Wars" saga is a zippy entertainment but ultimately a craven disappointment. J.J. Abrams’ direction infuses this chapter with what my screening companion described as 'that ‘Star Wars’ flavor,' but it ultimately feels like an epic failure of nerve.

Verge

There's plenty of spectacle and space-fighting to keep The Rise of Skywalker entertaining. Minute to minute, it's an enjoyable movie.
