What was supposed to be a love worth sacrificing the galaxy for, instead ends up making us want to stick our heads in the sand.
There’s no better example of all this than Anakin and Padme’s snoozefest of a romance. Not to mention some amazing action sequences, including the chase through Coruscant, the Jedi/Bounty Hunter battle on Kamino, and a truly wizard duel featuring the frog-hopping Master Yoda.īut the film is otherwise bogged down by uneven pacing, wooden dialogue, and “dramatic” moments that wind up being unintentionally funny. Watching Obi-Wan Kenobi play Jedi-detective as he investigates the Separatist movement and the enigmatic Count Dooku is the highlight of the film.
While Star Wars: Attack of the Clones may have an exciting title, it’s one of the most boring movies in the franchise, even with its redeeming qualities. Read our review of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Yet what truly makes Episode IX a difficult watch is its lack of commitment to the events of The Last Jedi, and so we watch as the plot bends over backwards to rewrite Star Wars lore, rather than building off what came before to deliver fans a more fitting conclusion. And don’t get us started on Chewie’s death fakeout! But hey, at least Babu Frik. It’s full of unearned moments, inconsequential characters, and plot twists that hurt your head the more you think about them. After four decades and eight episodes, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was supposed to bring the Skywalker Saga to a satisfying conclusion, but instead of going out with a bang, it ended with something more akin to that noise the Sarlacc pit made after eating a bounty hunter.
